Tsipras: Samaras and Venizelos remained faithful to Merkel

An onslaught against Antonis Samaras and Evangelos Venizelos was unleashed by Alexis Tsipras, accusing them of remaining faithful to their commitments to Merkel and thereby making the formation of a government impossible.

“Samaras and Venizelos, faithful to their signatures, refused to adopt our proposals and in substance posed a dilemma: Memorandum or elections” stated Mr. Tsipras.

“They did not simply ask for our agreement but invited us to put our signature on measures of poverty and destitution. We resisted with all our strength and soul” he stated, and underlined that SYRIZA made the decision not to betray the hopes of the people.

“The forces of yesterday which demolished society are looking for a second chance of survival, they threaten and harass”, stated Mr. Tsipras and added that they must be put in historical limbo.

“Now is the time to complete the great advance which took place on May 6th, to form a government of the Left with enhanced power”.
