[01] Tsipras-We will not accept any agreement binding for the next
government
Main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, in his address on Saturday
evening to a meeting of the secretaries of the regional party committees
and the party's Organising Bureau, proposed the adoption of a code of
conduct for those who wish to run as candidate SYRIZA deputies.
He reiterated that crucial political developments are imminent and
emphasized on the issue of ballot tickets and the policy of alliances
noting that "we will set up a new majority block of political and social
forces on a reliable base, in programmatic terms, honestly and openly,
not under the table."
He said that SYRIZA should study the code of conduct for deputies
compiled by the (Spanish party) Podemos and set terms and rules for
those who wish to be candidates in our ballot tickets or participate in
the state apparatus if we get elected as a government. This way we will
create rules and new conditions of trust and credibility.
Referring to the political developments, he said the troika had two
targets: first, they are trying to close up as many issues as possible
so that there is more room for concessions in the next phase. Second,
they are setting the negotiation ground for the next government, seeking
to push and create conditions of consensus to their policy.
We categorically state, Tsipras said, that "we will not accept any
agreement there may be by this parliament with this government that will
be binding for the next one" and accused the government of pretending
to be negotiating.
The Prime Minister, he said, wants to implicate the negotiation in
the package of political developments in Greece in relation to the
presidential election. He also said that the only thing that the
Government Vice-President Evangelos Venizelos and the Prime Minister
Antonis Samaras are concerned about is their own personal political
future and political survival.
