New Democracy's reaction to PM Tsipras' speech in cabinet meeting
"The first announcements of the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras demonstrate his inability to understand what exactly he is about to deal with," main opposition New Democracy spokesman Kostas Karagounis said commenting on the speech of the prime minister in the first cabinet meeting.
Karagounis said that those who were opposed to any reform, are now, as a responsible government, talking about the necessary reforms, but the announcements of ministers in key sectors demonstrate that they refer to the cancellation of the reforms already achieved, bringing Greece back to the past.
According to New Democracy spokesman, suspending the privatisation of the Public Power Corporation (PPC), the Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE), the Piraeus Port Authority (OLP) and regional airports along with the reappointment of surplus civil servants and the return of the asylum to the eternal students will lead the country to a rupture with the European partners, and the common sense, as the revenues already included in the budget will be cancelled.
"When Mr. Tsipras is speaking of a balanced budget, taking out tens of billion euro revenues, and at the same time he is announcing expenses of the same amount, he needs to inform people on how he will finance them, as well on the emerging risks regarding Greece's equal stay in the eurozone," he added.
"Unfortunately, Tsipras' new governance model is likely to justify our worse concerns," Karagounis concluded.
