PM Tsipras: The first left-wing government must make big changes
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The first left-wing government should leave a footprint of claiming major changes in the State, the political system and the institutions, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a speech at the meeting of SYRIZA’s political secretariat.
During the meeting, party members had a first general discussion on the constitutional revision and change of the electoral law.
According to party sources, Tsipras said that the Left “should not be regarded merely as the power to best manage the crisis, because if the crisis is managed without vision and great changes it will soon evolve into a crisis in management”.
He said the government must therefore implement deep changes to the political system adding that it will aim to consolidate democratic and social rights, and protect public goods as part of the revision.
“The country needs a deep democratic change. We must start a broad process of dialogue towards a new constitution, the 2021 Constitution of Greece,” he said.
