[01] No other government has harmed the country so much, ND leader
Mitsotakis says
Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis lashed
out at Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras at his speech during the debate
on 2017 budget in Parliament on Saturday.
"The decline of the country in the last two years is unprecedented;
no other government has caused so much damage to the country. The two
parties, SYRIZA and ANEL, have boosted extreme demagogy, undermined
every attempt of reviving the country, and turned growth into recession,"
he underlined.
"The cost of your governance is huge," Mitsotakis said to the prime
minister and added: "You have no plan. They only thing you are doing
is imposing 2.6 billion euro new taxes which you believe they do not
undermine the competitiveness of the Greek companies and most of them
are indirect taxes that you used to call unfair."
The leader of the main opposition also accused the prime minister of
having failed in the two main targets he had set: abolishing austerity
and reducing the debt. As he said, the measures on the debt are equivalent
to a memorandum after the third memorandum.
Regarding the debt relief, he said that it is necessary but not the
solution to get the country out of the crisis.
