PARIS, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Germany's tough stance on banks and bond markets sharing the pain of any euro zone sovereign debt default could force some economies toward bankruptcy, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said on Monday.
"It created a spiral of higher interest rates for countries that seemed to be in a difficult position, such as Ireland or Portugal," Papandreou said during a visit to Paris.
"This could create a self-fulfilling prophecy ... This could break backs. This could force economies towards bankruptcy."
