Tsipras: ‘We want an exit from the crisis’

An exit from the crisis that would allow Greek society and its people to remain standing on their feet is the main aim of SYRIZA, party leader Alexis Tsipras said during his speech at Thessaloniki’s International Fair (TIF), where he presented the party’s program.

“We want an exit from the crisis with society and people still standing on their feet; growth must not be the result of social leveling,” the former prime minister told attendees at Vellidis’ conference center. 
He said the battle to improve the agreement reached between Greece and its partners has not ended and that it matters who will continue with this negotiation, noting that regardless of the unpleasant measures, the deal can create a new prospect for the Greek economy.
 
“The agreement we achieved through a very hard negotiation is a text which is deliberately open to addressing specific issues, which explicitly formulates the possibility of finding equivalents through negotiations with the institutions,” he explained, adding that the economy’s growth will depend on whether the next government will succeed or fail to address those issues. 

He attacked the main opposition, saying that “some people were shouting that we have a secret plan to get the country out of the euro and now that they’ve been proved wrong they don’t talk about themselves. If we hadn’t brought a deal, they would have told us we destroyed the country and now they tell us we’re not implementing our pre-election program.” 

Tsipras then went on to discuss the issues on which SYRIZA will fight for: “The first and main battle is the one on debt restructuring and the second big issue the next government will have to address is the non-performing loans.”
