[01] Greek citizens are proud, Labour Min Skourletis says
ANA/MPA---"I think that there is no Greek citizen right now that is
not proud," Labour Minister Panos Skourletis said on Sunday.
"Because regardless of what he voted, this place first of all respects
democracy. The government has a strong mandate, a strong negotiating
asset to reach an agreement that will open up new roads," Skourletis
said entering the Maximos Mansion.
[02] 'Tsipras must go,' Theodorakis tells Focus; urges Greeks to stay
united
ANA-MPA -- In strong criticism of Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras,
the head of the opposition Potami party Stavros Theodorakis accused him
of putting his career ahead of the country's welfare in an interview
with Germany's "Focus" magazine.
"He is the problem, he is the one that must go," Theodorakis said.
According to the Focus article, Theodorakis hoped that young people in
Greece will vote in favour of Europe and against "the Balkanization of
Greece" and directed assurances to Berlin, Paris and Rome that Greece's
"intellectuals and creative forces support consent to the euro."
Casting his vote in the 2nd Haidari High School on Sunday, Theodorakis
expressed hope that the "seed of discord that some thoughtlessly sowed
will not bear fruit." "In a few hours," he said, "we must face the
great problem of the country united. We must strengthen its European
course. I hope the prime minister keeps his promise."

ANA/MPA---The president of the Hellenic Bank Association Louka Katseli
told ANA-MPA on Sunday "the clients' access to bank safe deposit boxes
that they have in bank branches in Greece will be decided by the imminent
Legislative Act. The content of the bank safe deposit boxes is a private
asset and they only have access to them".
