"The Eurogroup decision is important and positive because it distances the risk of the country's default and ensures its European prospect, gives the ability to make the debt sustainable and paves the way to elections," Samaras said in an initial reaction on the new loan programme for Greece.

He also said that ND's contribution to this decision was decisive.amna

"Without the party's positive vote, there would not have been either the ability for the haircut of the debt or reduction of the country's borrowing cost, or the conclusion of a new loan, decisions that point out the major differentiation, for us, between the first and second Memorandum and prove the correctness of our choices," Samaras added.amna

He further said that "a circle of uncertainty, obscurity and back-tracking that PASOK opened up two years ago with its actions and omissions closes today".
