[01] FinMin Tsakalotos rejects Grexit fears after Britain's vote to
leave EU
The impact of Britain's vote to leave the European Union on the Greek
economy will have to be examined carefully, but there's no issue of a
Greek exit from the Union, Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said on
Sunday, during a speech at SYRIZA's central party committee.
Commenting on the results of the UK vote, the minister said it will
"create ambiguities and uncertainties for the European economy", but
may also open a debate on centrifugal forces.
He said he agreed with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, that on the
question of more or less Europe, the response is "we need a better and
more democratic Europe".
[02] Brexit vote is the result of a democratic deficit in the EU, says
gov't spox
Britain's vote to leave the European Union is the result of the arrogant
behavior of a bureaucratic decision-making center, as well as of a
democratic deficit in the Union and a bad handling of the economic
and refugee crisis, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili said in an
interview with local Thessaloniki newspaper "Thess News" on Sunday.
"The decision of the British people to leave the European Union may not
be pleasant, but it is wholly respected. I consider it the strongest
alarm bell on the EU's path we've had to date," she said.
"These are the results of the democratic deficit, the bad handlings in
the economic and refugee crisis, but mainly of the arrogant behavior of
a bureaucratic decision-making centers," she added.
