Tsipras to MPs: Be careful what you say and how you behave

Speaking noon Wednesday at the meeting of the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA Alexis Tsipras appeared confident that there will be elections later this year and that the Greek people will have the chance again in their hands "to overthrow this vicious political scene."
 
During his speech Tsipras warned the parliamentary members of his party to watch what they say and how they behave, while referring to Tatsopoulos’ case stressed that "degenerative phenomena will not be accepted. It is more than likely that we will soon find ourselves with unprecedented tasks and requirements. We must be ready and conscious of how difficult our task is. We are volunteers and soldiers. Nobody is conscripted by force."
 
Commenting on Samaras’ speech at the European Parliament, Tsipras said the Greek PM "was proven to be lower than the circumstances, the requirements and expectations of the Greek people in front of the MEPs."
 
According to the SYRIZA president, "Samaras did not want to take the opportunity of presenting the problems of Greece, but to convey an image that contrasts with reality. Samaras’ government does not just wear out but is crumbling down."
 
He also said he would use all the possibilities offered by his candidacy for the presidency of the Commission on behalf of the Party of the European Left.
 
Tsipras sent a message to Angela Merkel and troika "to look for accomplices elsewhere." Referring to the discussions about the possibility of election being required to sign the continuation of the implementation of the memorandum, Tsipras said, "although I do not underestimate the intelligence of the German Chancellor to think that she will be so foolish, I have to give a clear answer to those who think that such reports create dilemmas."
 

Regarding the issue of banks, Tsipras requested an immediate check on bad loans, stressing that "nothing and no one will be forgotten. We will look over all the decisions and all those responsible will be summoned to answer."
