[01] Tsipras says ‘no cooperation with ND', asks voters to give
SYRIZA majority
ANA - MPA -- The leader of SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras, asked voters on
Friday to grant his party an absolute majority in the upcoming elections,
while stressing that his party will not cooperate with New Democracy.
Speaking during an election rally in the northern town of Komotini,
Tsipras described ND leader Vangelis Meimarakis as a "representative of
political anachronism and vested interests that brought the country to
the current dire financial situation."
"We ask the Greek people to reinforce us because we don't have the support
of the big interests, we are only accountable to you and together we
will move forward the effort we started," the leader of SYRIZA told the
crowd gathered.
Responding to repeated calls by Meimarakis to cooperate after the
elections, he noted that the leader of New Democracy keeps changing his
mind about what he wants. "On the one hand he says he wants to cooperate
with SYRIZA even with Tsipras as prime minister and on the other hand,
he says he doesn't want Tsipras for prime minister that he's fed up
with his retractions, that ND will win with such a percentage that in
the next parliament it wil have the absolute majority of MPs," he noted.
