Meimarakis: New agreement is 'very bad'
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The agreement signed by Greece and its creditors is “very bad”, the leader of main opposition New Democracy said on Tuesday, and accused the government of wasting time in useless talks.
Speaking to private broadcaster SKAI, Vangelis Meimarakis accused Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of hypocrisy. “He kept saying he wouldn’t vote because an agreement is tabled as one article and now he’s blackmailing us. He’s the one blackmailing us. It’s not our partners blackmailing him. If there were separate articles we could improve a lot of points in the agreement,” he said.
The leader of the main opposition said the party will convene and make its decision, so that when the deal is submitted to parliament, ND will be ready to vote as one. “It’s not me who will decide, this is over,” he noted.
“I heard proposals to abstain or to vote it down, or to set conditions such as not to hold elections etc,” he continued but clarified that if the agreement is not voted, Greece will be led to disorderly bankruptcy, a national currency, a devaluation and wage cuts.
