New Democracy Criticizes Govt for Negative Climate Toward Greece

Main opposition New Democracy accused the government on Friday of creating a very negative climate for Greece in Europe. “The truth that should worry the government is that the statements of top officials from the whole political range of the European Union show the very bad climate that exists for Greece,” New Democracy spokesman Costas Karagounis said, presenting as an example statements by European Parliament President Martin Schulz, European People’s Party (EPP) President Manfred Weber, European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici and Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem. Karagounis also pointed to the “scolding” Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis received during the Eurogroup in Riga, Latvia. “Everything else is for the domestic audience,” the spokesman said and asked: “Will SYRIZA berate all those within the party who argue in favor of returning to the drachma, when the government is supposed to be negotiating our stay within the Eurozone?” (source: ana-mpa)
