Labor Minister Skourletis Discusses New 2015 Elections
Greek Labor Minister Panos Skourletis stated that the nation may very well undergo a new general election this year.
Skourletis announced on state television that the governmental administration will require, "borrowed votes from the opposition" to meet new austerity protocols by its global lenders.
The Labor Minister claimed, "I cannot see how we can avoid elections in 2015 ... It's unnatural: We believe in something different than what we've been forced to sign with a gun pointed to our head."
Skourletis confirmed that a speedy election will not be orchestrated now, due to the nation's economic status, while its banks remain closed.
