Main opposition New Democracy accused Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Saturday of trying to take credit for the achievements of the previous government of Antonis Samaras. “The 2-billion-euro package [of EU funds] announced by Tsipras is the well-known result achieved after the negotiations of Mr. Samaras at the end of 2013, which was eventually agreed on for the period 2014-2020 from the same European budget,” party spokesman Costas Karagounis said. The spokesman also said that a large number of these funds have already been earmarked for specific social needs. “The government should focus on absorbing these funds within the year and by front-loading 2015, instead of taking credit for work which has already been done,” Karagounis added.
