Maximos: Low tones for the antiracism

Maximos Mansion wishes to calm the political climate after the rupture within the tripartite government in response to the antiracism bill.

The government team clarifies that New Democracy will not pass the bill that will be brought by the two other parties and does not seem concerned about the impressions battle that will follow. Samaras colleagues said he "is the first who clearly and unambiguously turned against the Golden Dawn and the fascist phenomenon for a while now. Moreover, the position of ND is that the Golden Dawn should be marginalized and not criminalized."

Maximos Mansion does not want a new meeting of political leaders soon, unlike PASOK and DIMAR who are requesting one for tomorrow, Thursday. As the PASOK proposal has taken the path of parliamentary procedure, any meeting will deal with the coordination of government operating as Venizelos and Kouvelis urge. Instead, Maximos Mansion prefers to not discuss these issues in haste and while the impressions from the rupture due to the antiracism bill are still fresh.

Samaras will have to make a move of good faith to his two partners who say that the next time they will be surprised by a minister in parliament they will not vote. Venizelos reiterated that the government is based on parliamentary majority and does not consist of one single party.

Maximos Mansion believes that the issues to be discussed are the policies to support the unemployed and the commitment against troika for the promotion of redundancies in the public sector.

However, the differences between the political leaders are not confined in the government’s function. Venizelos has already turned against Yannis Vroutsis for the delay in bringing a setting for the unemployed and indirectly to Yannis Stournaras for not finishing with the land parcels taxation. Underlying the conflict between political leaders are polls showing New Democracy and Samaras earning points and both of his governmental partners lose. The two parties are expected to want policies that will credit some rate of success to them as well.
