During a speech to present the SYN party policy plan to the Central Political Committee, the partys president, A. Tsipras expressed his objection to any possibility of SYN-PASOK parties cooperation with the phrase "we are not interested in governism". During the same event, SYN party secretary, Nikos Hountis among others stressed: "Circumstances include explosive procedures at several levels as on the one hand social situation is at deadlock and on the other hand the central systematic expression, bipartisanship, is facing unprecedented crisis. This situation can be described as a temporary and partial annulment of subordination classes consent, a fact of high importance for changes in correlations. We are before a given opportunity where "subordinates" distrust and mutter and the "superordinates" are not in a position to control the situation."

In reference to euro-elections, Mr. Hountis said that it will certainly have the characteristics of general elections. SYN party president, Alexis Tsipras will give a press interview to foreign correspondents on Wednesday, July, 7.

Before the dilemma submission or counterattack and rift we choose the second, as this is the road that serves the interests of all people stressed GCP general secretary, Aleka Papariga in her speech in Prespes during events of the 17th Anti-Imperialist Meeting, organized by the GCP Youth. Continuing she said: "Particularly for the youth there is no other road but that of rift and reversal. There is even worse to come for the new generation and they should not fall into the trap of submission and incorporation."

In parallel, Mrs. Papariga unveiled the honorary plaque in memory of the Democratic Army at the village of Pyli. Commenting on LAOS party deputy Kyriakos Belopoulos statements about "events of hatred", A. Papariga said that these statements express something from farther away and express those who literally hate the peoples movement. They hate a people who combine patriotism and internationalism. For us patriotism is love for a country where people are prospering and not the capital. For them home country is the place where the capital dominates, we have a different view of what home country means."
