[01] European Commission president: Tsipras will have to explain that
some of his pre-election promises will not be fulfilled
ANA/MPA---The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker
in an interview published on Wednesday in Spanish paper El Pais said
that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will have to explain that some of
his pre-election promises will not be fulfilled as elections do not
change treaties.
"Alexis Tsipras took a fundamental step: he started taking up
responsibilities. However he has a problem; he has to explain that
some promises with which he won the elections will not be fulfilled,"
Juncker said.
"He asked the right questions but he never gave answers," he said and
noted: "With regard to Greece and its programme, there are 19 public
opinions in the eurozone that count. Elections do not change treaties:
it is clear you can have another approach to the Greek crisis. There
may be more flexibility, but Tsipras' victory does not entitle you to
change everything."
