Meimarakis: Consensus is needed after elections

New Democracy leader Vangelis Meimarakis pointed out on Thursday the need for consensus after the elections to get the country out of the crisis, clarifying however that this can only be achieved by those who want it. 

“We chose Omonoia (=Concord) square to symbolize the path we want for the country. W sent messages of unity to all the Greek people,” Meimarakis said during an election speech in central Athens, while asking the people to trust ND.

 
“With God’s help and the people’s will, we’ll form a government on Monday with ND as thre main party. A government of the worthy and the capable, a government of all the Greeks,” he said and addressed separately the young, the women, the mid-sized businessmen, the employees of the private and public sector, the uniformed employees and the unemployed. 

Commenting on SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, Meimarakis criticized him for “plunging the country into chaos” noting he’s trying to fool Greeks into voting him for the second time. 
“Greeks don’t want any more SYRIZA experiment, don’t want any more populism. It’s time to finish with incompetence. The SYRIZA experiment ends on Sunday,” he said.
