Lafazanis: Referendum an ‘experiment’ to pressure creditors
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Minister for Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Panagiotis Lafazanis, also known as the leader of the left-wing of the governing Radical Left Coalition (Syriza) party, said that the July 5 referendum is an “experiment” to put pressure on Greece’s creditors.
“It’s the best we can do…We found ourselves in a cruel dilemma, to either sign what our creditors tell us or stage a referendum,” Lafazanis said in a radio interview Thursday.
“We are conducting an experiment to put pressure through the referendum,” Lafazanis added.
“We could do something else, co-sign a deal that would be a death sentence for Greece. What use would it be? We are at theis point because all the recipes applied were worng. If we aplied a deal like the one the creditors proposed, things would be even worse. We would have fewer expenditures and bigger taxes,” Lafazanis said.
