ND Leader Samaras: Exit from the Crisis Still Possible Without Any Sacrifices

New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras addressed on Saturday a party meeting on the migration issue at the port city of Patras, Greece. The former prime minister noted that the migration problem is a reason for which an agreement that will safeguard Greece’s presence in Europe, becomes even more necessary. Samaras accused the government of stopping the country’s effort to exit from the crisis which was as he said on an exit course before the general elections, and estimated that the exit is still possible without more sacrifices but with political interventions that will give a breather to the people. “We have succeeded in receiving a precautionary support line” said Samaras adding “during our governance a salary or pension payment issue never occurred. We have sent away these ghosts” he said adding that “these ghosts destroy the country’s image.” Referring to speculations on early general elections he said “Elections mean mandate for the drachma. Even if they (SYRIZA) win them, they will tell you the same, ‘we will continue the dialogue from where we have stopped.’ Elections mean drachma and that will be our catastrophe. We will prevent it and we will press the government to change policy. The country needs prospect and hope.” He continued by saying, “we were not scaremongering, we were telling the truth. SYRIZA told a lot of lies.” Moreover, Samaras estimated that “we can exit for good from the memorandum and the crisis provided we change policy” adding that “if the good course was not interrupted we would have already got out of the crisis.” (source: ana-mpa)
