[01] Tsipras on economy

Tsipras, addressing the party's Central Political Committee on Saturday, said that the decision taken at the European Union summit provides support for the country that if used, something that is not at all certain, will have a painful arrangement: the participation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and this decision will lead things to a much worse position than what had appeared with the initial support declaration at the summit held on February 11.

He also referred to support for banks by the European Central Bank, saying that they will continue to profiteer and, in essence, that they do not contribute to the tackling of the crisis.

Tsipras stressed that the party's main political aims are defending salaried employment, that is sustaining the toughest attack of the past decades, the taxation of capital and of powerful economic interests that tax-evade and promoting an alternative strategy for an exit from the crisis.
