[01] SYRIZA to soon present realistic 'parallel' programme to creditor
agreements, Gerovasili says
ANA-MPA -- SYRIZA will soon present a "parallel, realistic and adapted"
programme that will not conflict with the bailout agreements signed by
Greece but counterbalance their harsher repercussions for the weakest
sections of society, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili said
on Tuesday.
"There are commitments to which we have agreed and will
support. Nevertheless, we have a parallel programme that will run and that
we believe will counterbalance the harshest repercussions, especially
for the weakest, which we have an obligation to address because we have
promised this to the Greek people," Gerovasili said on the radio station
'Real FM'. She noted that this parallel programme was "beyond the
negotiation" and would be based on feasible and clearly stated goals,
which would be doable, realistic and not clash with the terms of the
agreement. "We are entering a pre-election period, therefore there is
no issue of negotiation on the parallel programme," Gerovasili added.
She dismissed proposals made by main opposition ND leader Vangelis
Meimarakis for a cooperation government to avoid snap elections as a
"last communications tactic" that was not realistic. The government
and prime minister considered resort to elections essential, in order
to receive a new and strong popular mandate, and did not consider a
single-party majority in Parliament out of reach, she said.
