Lafazanis' statement on the agreement

Productive Reconstruction Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis in a statement on Tuesday called the government and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras "at the ultimate moment, to take back the agreement before the final decision is taken in parliament".

Lafazanis said that the government's agreement with the institutions is "unacceptable" and a radical party as SYRIZA and a fighting government that promised the cancellation of the memorandums and the austerity does not worth to bear the cost. The so-called partners said Lafazanis is first of all the German establishment "treated our country as if it was their colony and as ruthless blackmailers and "economic murderers" and with this "deal the people's mandate and the 'proud NO' of the Greek people in the referendum is cancelled". This agreement may pass in parliament with the contribution of New Democracy, PASOK and Potami deputies' votes, noted Lafazanis underlining that "it will not pass from the people that will cancel it in practice with unity and struggles". According to Lafazanis, Greece had and has an alternative solution and concluded "the creditors' dilemma compromise or disaster is fake and has collapsed in the people's conscience".
