    ANA/MPA---"Some SYRIZA deputies have made their choice to pass to the opposition and to create a new party that will oppose to SYRIZA with banner the return to the national currency and this forces the government and the prime minister to take political initiatives," Europarliament Vice President and SYRIZA MEP Dimitris Papadimoulis stated on Thursday speaking to private MEGA TV.

    Papadimoulis expressed his certainty that "SYRIZA, the government and most of all Alexis Tsipras are more popular to the people than in the current government and this will be proved through democratic procedures."

    "We are experiencing the chronicle of a division foretold for a long time," he said adding that "his comrades' decision to divide SYRIZA is a very wrong decision which will be judged by the citizens."

    [02] ND accuses PM Tsipras of opportunism

    ANA/MPA---Main opposition New Democracy on Thursday sternly attacked Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accusing of him that his strategy and the prevailing rumours for early elections undermine the Greek economy.

    According to ND sources, "Tsipras' dangerous opportunism is endless and is against the country. Tsipras' actions target exclusively Mr. Lafazanis" and accused the premier that "an in-party problem that he could have solved, as he promised, has become an obsession with unpredictable repercussions to the country".

    [03] FinMin Tsakalotos urges Greeks to bring back their money to the banks

    ANA/MPA---Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos speaking in parliament on Thursday referred to a series of factors that will restore the credibility to the Greek banking sector.

    Tsakalotos urged Greeks to trust the banking system and return their money to the banks. He referred to the government's mistakes but explained that mistakes are always made during hard negotiations. However, he said, there is a legacy and "I think it helped European social democracy to realize that some things need to change in order for the eurozone to be saved."

    Regarding the possibility of elections, he underlined: "It won't be the same case as in 2012 because now there is an agreement and there is a framework for the recapitalisation of banks."
