[01] Venizelos: Negotiation with the troika will be completed
ANA/MPA---"The uncertainty downgrades not the government's but the
country's position" underlined Government Vice President and PASOK
leader Evangelos Venizelos in his article in Vima Sunday newspaper. "The
negotiation with the troika will be completed, but we will not allow this
to become an opportunity for another wave of "costless" superficiality
and demagogy".
Venizelos opined that the "difficulty in the negotiation with our European
partners and with the IMF is directly proportional for the country with
the importance of the agreement on the completion of the current programme
and the 'twin' agreement for the new institutional framework. For the
security shield that Greece will have without a new loan and without
a new programme and a new memorandum, without troika's mechanism which
means divergence from the European mechanisms that operate for all the
state members" said Venizelos.
The relation between democracy and truth has worked for the past decades
as a vice circle that prepared the economic crisis. Now it must work
as a purifying equation that will symbolize the real modernisation of
the country".
