Bloomberg.com reported:

Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said he was authorized by the country’s prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, to come up with an emergency plan for a parallel payment system, which could lead the country to the drachma, according to a recording of a call with investors released today...

“We were planning to create, surreptitiously, reserve accounts attached to every tax file number, without telling anyone, just to have this system in a function under wraps,” Varoufakis said in the recording.
