The government is trapped in a policy of austerity and destruction dictated by the memorandum, SYRIZA said on Monday, adding that whatever leaks to the press about "so-called negotiations" with the troika of lenders cannot reverse the subordination of Greece to its lenders and the memorandum's commitments.

The exacerbation of political violence in Greece, is not linked to the memorandum being applied to the country, maintains Berlin, going against those that say the rise of extremism is due to the repercussions of applying harsh austerity programs.

SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras is in Austin, Texas on Monday November 4, to participate as a guest speaker in a two-day conference being held by the LBJ School of Public Affairs of The University of Texas at Austin, on the subject of "Can the Eurozone be saved".
