[01] Tsipras says SYRIZA disagrees with LARCO's shrinkingANA/MPA--Main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras expressed the party's absolute disagreement with LARCO's shrinking and privatisation during his meeting with the firm's unions on Tuesday.Tsipras said SYRIZA is "radically opposed to the shrinking and privatisation of LARKO that the Samaras-Venizelos government is promoting jointly with the troika, because first of all considerable national wealth is being sold out since the business is the only one in the EU that produces excellent quality nickel, exploiting its own local deposits having a total value of about 25 billion euros, meaning a large part of strategic importance of our country's mineral wealth." At the same time, he added, LARCO's shrinking and privatisation will create great economic and social harm for the local societies of six prefectures in the country, endangering about 6,000 jobs in such a difficult period for the Greek people. SYRIZA supports the struggle of LARCO's employees "to prevent the great national, economic and social crime of its shrinking and privatisation and believes that the most effective way is their coordination with the struggles of other employees for the overthrow of the government, the troika and their memorandums," the SYRIZA leader said.
