ANEL two-day party congress ends (adds)

The two-day opposition Independent Greeks (ANEL) party congress ended on Sunday with a unanimous decision not to vote for the new president of the republic in parliament

Closing the 2nd ANEL party congress, party leader Panos Kammenos said "none of the party MPs will vote for the new president of the republic" and predicted general elections by the end of March, noting that "those who cannot handle it should get off the ship now".

He said that he will defend the "red lines" he has drawn and underlined that he is in favour of a constitutional revision.

"It is clear that I will do what's best for the Greek people; see if with another government things will go better or not," ANEL MP Panagiotis Melas said in response to a relevant question by ANA-MPA after the party congress ended.

Earlier, Melas did not vote for his party's motion "not to vote for a new president of the republic in parliament" but, at the same time, he did not express disagreement with the proposal in question when the congress chairman called on anyone with a different opinion to express it.
