The left platform of SYRIZA criticized Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for backing down on Monday’s Eurogroup negotiations and asks for rift with creditors. The party’s left platform –led by Minister of Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Panagiotis Lafazanis — sent the message through its website. The message contained harsh language and referred to creditors as “new colonialists who blackmail Greece.” It said that they push the country to a “new Memorandum” with the same austerity measures the previous government had agreed on. SYRIZA’s left platform also criticized Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis for accepting the condition that Greece will not take any unilateral actions regarding the humanitarian crisis. Finally, the message said that the creditors blackmail Athens by threatening financial asphyxiation that will lead the Greek government to accept all the Memorandum austerity measures. They suggested that the Greek negotiating team clashes with creditors.
