Well it is because the party that currently stands to get elected look like rejecting the austerity measures that were a condition of the bailout. It is Germany's business if this happens, they are entitled to not to have to throw good money after bad in order to prop up a unsustainable system in Greece.
The Greek people are being lied too when they are told they can reject those austerity measures without consequence. They probably don't care anymore but the German suggestion of a referendum is probably designed to make clear what they are voting for.
