[01] PM Tsipras: We have the pressure but also the political momentum
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Thursday speaking to a cabinet
meeting attributed the delays to the IMF and its initial fiscal and
labour demands.
"The IMF did not succeed in fully meeting any of its targets," according
to government sources.
The agreement is "defendable," he said and gave the signal for growth.
The same government sources said that he accused main opposition New
Democracy (ND) of its stance and underlined that it (ND) is now at a
very difficult position.
Addressing his ministers he said that "we are under pressure as a result
of the austerity but we also have the political momentum, which we need
to use so that the Greek economy skyrockets."
He also noted that "this development may lead to a political success
and to a new victory in the general elections" adding that "for this
reason we need a great political counter-attack. A counter-attack with
substance and not one made for communication reasons because this is
what will lead us out of the memoranda and the supervision."
