Main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis defended his party's proposal for the transfer of the ENFIA property tax to local authorities, saying it would increase their autonomy, as he emerged from a meeting with the Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE) on Tuesday to discuss the measure.

The issue of the cancellation of the agreement by Greece was left clearly open by Defense minister Panos Kammenos. The defense minister in a televised interview said Zoran Zaev broke the deal.

The main aim of the third programme was not achieved with SYRIZA's responsibility, said New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis during a press conference on Sunday in Thessaloniki adding that "My commitment is the gradual de-escalation of the borrowing cost".
