Tsipras tells Macron protesters against Prespa Agreement were "mindless right wing populists"

The Greek Prime Minister initially described the participants of the great rally on Sunday, January 20, at Syntagma, referring to them as "far-right populists".

The next question by Emmanuel Makron, in the presence of Cyprus President Nikos Anastasiadis, concerned the number of protesters, with Alexis Tsipras talking about 70,000 citizens. However, he seems to realize that his pronunciation is not good, he says he did not say 17,000, but 70,000.

Alexis Tsipras then speaks about those who disagree with the Prespa Agreement, answering to another question, "whether the majority of citizens are in favor," he is heard saying, "yes, I think so. The majority of people that can think and be critical through their minds."

The next official who asked Alexis Tsipras about the protests against the Prespa Agreement was Malta's Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat, who mentioned to his Greek counterpart "it seemed difficult from the outside" only to get the answer "imagine from the inside. That's why it was important. "
