Dragasakis opens case for referendum
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Parliament vice president and head of SYRIZA's program committee, Yannis Dragasakis has rekindled the debate on the issue of a referendum.
The SYRIZA cadre, speaking yesterday at an open meeting of the “Pratto” movement on the theme “The problems and difficulties of a Salvation Government for the Country,” he doted on the stance a possible SYRIZA government would take if and when it came up against an impasse in discussions with the country's lenders.
“We will retort in the manner we know, the democratic way. If we find ourselves in a dilemma, we know the way, we will reach out to the people,” said SYRIZA's economic “brain”, while Mr Nikos Kotzias also did not rule out going to a referendum if the country's fate hung in the balance.
Finally, Mr Dragasakis appeared optimistic that SYRIZA would not only come to power, but would also lead the country out of the crisis. “It has come to us to cross the finish line first, to call an end to the crisis and open new trails. If we succeed, there will surely be a domino of positive developments,” said Mr Dragasakis.
