[02] Delays in second programme review are not justified, gov't spokesman
says
Delays in the conclusion of the second programme review are not
justified, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos on Monday said
in an interview with radio station Kokkino 105.5 FM.
Tzanakopoulos stressed the importance of avoiding delays without any
reason.
He also ruled out the scenarios of early elections and added that the
government continues its efforts to exit guardianship and protect the
society.
The situation of the Greek economy, as reflected on growth rates, revenue
outperformance and reduction of unemployment does not justify any delays,
he noted and cleared out that "any delay would be technical."
Moreover, he said it is also positive that apart from the government,
the vast majority of the creditors shares the same view.
