Tsipras: "We shall make our presence felt as the main opposition"

Alexis Tsipras has officially rejected the possibility of any SYRIZA participation in a coalition government with ND at the core.

He underlined that "we shall be present in any developments from the position of the main opposition" and stressed that "everyone must know that the measures of austerity and the selling off of state property will not be able to move forward because they lack popular legitimacy."

As he mentioned, the rejection of the memorandum is a clear and repeated popular mandate.

Moreover, he expressed his conviction that SYRIZA will be vindicated by the developments, pointing out that his proposal for the abolition of the austerity memoranda is the only viable solution for Europe.

"From Monday onwards, we shall continue the struggle with the belief that the future belongs not to those who are afraid, but to those who bring hope. Greece's new day has already dawned. We shall keep on," added the SYRIZA head.
