[01] We have a change of government, not regime, Panousis says
The destabilization of the currency disrupts the proper functioning
of a country's regime, Alternate Citizen Protection Minister Yiannis
Panousis said in an interview with Sunday's Vima newspaper.
According to Panousis, "the destabilization of the currency, the
currency-exchange security detachment and therefore the disturbance of
social peace pose directly an issue of disruption of the smooth operation
of the Regime, Article 134, paragraph 2, of the Penal Code."
Asked on the possibility of drafting plans for a change of currency,
the minister said: "I remind that the Constitution and laws support the
civil parliamentary democracy, the popular sovereignty and not the popular
democracy. We have a change of government, but not a change of regime."
[02] SYRIZA central committee sec gen: We need a plan that will not make
the memorandum our policy
SYRIZA's central committee secretagy general Tasos Koronakis, in an
interview with Avghi newspaper on Sunday, stressed the need to set up
a plan that will not make the memorandum a SYRIZA policy.
"We must at all costs avoid a government of special purpose or national
unity," he underlined.
"I think that after our conference process, we will all be invited to
serve the plan that we will decide collectively. Hence the period of the
different attitudes in the parliamentary group ends with the extraordinary
congress," he added.
"The Left does not make strategic plans based on currencies, but on the
policy designed to benefit the people," Koronakis noted.
