[01] PM Tsipras at Maximos Mansion; cautious optimism in SYRIZA
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras arrived at Maximos Mansion at 19.00 Athens
time on Sunday where he will watch the results of the Greek referendum.
Cautious optimism prevails in SYRIZA over the prevalence of 'No' in
Sunday's referendum. Top officials express their satisfaction over the
peaceful climate throughout the country.
According to well-informed sources, a broad meeting was held at SYRIZA's
headquarters on Sunday afternoon with the participation of ministers
and top government officals. A first exchange of opinions on the day
after was discussed as well as the party's position that all ministers
and party officials must underline the importance of the national unity
in their public appearances.
[02] ND deputy Bakoyannis asks for the resignation of party leader Samaras
ANA/MPA---New Democracy (ND) deputy Dora Bakoyannis on Sunday had a
phone contact with party leader Antonis Samaras and asked him to submit
his resignation.
According to ANA-MPA sources, Bakoyannis told Samaras that she is
willing to withdraw from the race for the party's leadership if she is
the problem.
[03] Euclid Tsakalotos says government will negotiate economically
sustainable agreement
ANA/MPA---The Greek government will negotiate a solution which will
be economically sustainable, Alternate Minister for International
Economic Relations and the head of the negotiation political group
Euclid Tsakalotos said on Sunday speaking at a TV panel.
"We'll negotiate a solution which is economically viable," the country's
top negotiator said during his appearance on Star channel.
Asked how he believes a deal can be achieved in 24 hours when for the
past five months Greece and its lenders have disagreed on very important
issues, leading to a breakdown in negotiations, Tsakalotos said there
are now two new elements: "The first is that the government will have
a new popular mandate and the second is the IMF's report, which states
that Greek debt is unsustainable."
