Greek Opposition Leader Theodorakis: ‘If Tsipras Fails, We’ll Be Ready’

The current SYRIZA-ANEL coalition government is not in a position to implement any European agreement because it does not have the potential to do so, Greek opposition “To Potami” leader Stavros Theodorakis said at a party meeting late on Tuesday. Theodorakis underlined that the majority of SYRIZA and ANEL members do not believe in social reforms and the European perspective while he did not rule out the possibility of elections within the year. Furthermore, Theodorakis also gave an interview to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “The governement is not able to implement the reforms that the country needs. Even if we reach an agreement with the institutions, the current government will soon create another rupture with the partners,” he said. Theodorakis also added that “recently, Greek politicians are experimenting with the feeling of falling from a cliff,” while he made it clear -once again- that his party is prepared to help SYRIZA if the governing party makes a suggestion that will benefit the country. However, he stressed that he is not planning to take part in the coalition government. Finally, he stressed that “if Tsipras fails, we are ready. We have a negotiation group consisting of influential people from Greece and abroad. We will make it work.”
