[01] ND leader Mitsotakis calls on Tsipras to resign
Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis called
on Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to resign if he cannot respond to
his responsibilities.
Mitsotakis accused Tsipras of mocking the citizens, stressing that once
again he does not meet the commitments of the memorandum that he has
signed. "Any delay in the disbursement of the 2.8 billion euro sub-tranche
would inevitably lead to the imposition of new measures. A large part
of the citizens cannot pay the taxes and often lacks the necessary,"
he explained.
Moreover, he noted that the state owes more than 7 billion euros to the
private sector adding that a significant amount of the sub-tranche will
be used to cover part of that debt in order to avoid the closing down
of other companies and the increase in unemployment.
The leader of the main opposition stressed that the prime minister
is personally responsible for the situation of the economy and the
deterioration of the Greek citizens' every day life.
"There is no room for another perpetual negotiation by an incompetent
and obsessive government. If he cannot respond to his responsibilities,
he would rather resign. No more time can be lost. He will be held
accountable," he underlined.
