[01] New agreement between Greece and lenders is 'very bad', says main
opposition leader
ANA - MPA -- The agreement signed by Greece and its creditors is "very
bad", the leader of main opposition New Democracy said on Tuesday,
and accused the government of wasting time in useless talks.
Speaking to private broadcaster SKAI, Vangelis Meimarakis accused Prime
Minister Alexis Tsipras of hypocrisy. "He kept saying he wouldn't vote
because an agreement is tabled as one article and now he's blackmailing
us. He's the one blackmailing us. It's not our partners blackmailing
him. If there were separate articles we could improve a lot of points
in the agreement," he said.
The leader of the main opposition said the party will convene and make
its decision, so that when the deal is submitted to parliament, ND will
be ready to vote as one. "It's not me who will decide, this is over,"
he noted.
"I heard proposals to abstain or to vote it down, or to set conditions
such as not to hold elections etc," he continued but clarified that if
the agreement is not voted, Greece will be led to disorderly bankruptcy,
a national currency, a devaluation and wage cuts.
