[01] Venizelos: There is no political stability without PASOK
In the absence of PASOK, there is no national unity and steady progress
of the nation, PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos said in his closing
remarks at the party's Central Political Committee session on Sunday.
"Without PASOK, there is not exit from the crisis, nor the legacy
created by the sacrifices of the Greek people", Venizelos said adding
that the main priority is the country to recover its national dignity
and sovereignty as it is coming out of the crisis. "It is not an issue
of national security, but economic strength, national independence and
development are the fundamental factors of sovereignty," he noted.
Venizelos also underlined that people do not want elections and made
mention of the government's popularity. Referring to the Greek EU
presidency, he said that the primary surplus will stabilize, and the
debate on debt sustainability, development and banks restructuring
will commence.
[02] SYRIZA: Government gives the final blow to society
After the approval of the single property tax and home foreclosure bills,
the government officially opened the way for the confiscation of homes,
throwing the final blow to the society," the main opposition Radical
Left Coalition (SYRIZA) said in a statement on Sunday commenting on
political developments.
According to SYRIZA, the government has been left alone to defend the
memorandum when the EU Parliament adopts a negative stance against the
troika and the impasses of the neoliberal policy.
SYRIZA also accused Prime Minister Antonis Samaras for not using the
Greek EU Presidency for the benefit of the country.
"The prime minister has understood that despite his effort to present
himself as 'savior of the country', he can not convince anyone, and day
by day, he gets isolated both politically and socially, while Greeks
increasingly recognize SYRIZA as a reliable alternative for a fair exit
from the crisis," it concludes.
