Productive Reconstruction Minister Lafazanis: National and popular solid front

We will insist on the write-off of the largest part of the debt, stated Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis in an interview to Agora newspaper and expressed his certainty that the government will succeed "what is necessary is a national and popular solid front".

"SYRIZA's programme gives no room for discounts and cancellations, it will be applied to the end" he noted and revealed that one of the first draft laws he will bring to parliament will refer to the cancellation of the slicing of selling of the so-called 'small' PPC along with the cancellation of selling of the Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE).

"I stated that PPC's slicing in big and small and the selling of the latter will be cancelled. I stated that any further privatisation of PPC will stop. I underlined that the state will retain PPC's majority ownership and as a public company will be reconstructed and will operate will exclusively developmental, productive, social and environmental criteria" he underlined.

Lafazanis clarified that "the sell off of the state assets and of the public companies are not compatible with a Left government and reiterated "End to troika and memorandums in Greece and gradually and to the implementation laws. From the first day the government has entered into a strong anti-memorandum course which will be completed regardless of how many clashes and contradictions with the domestic and European establishment and with the most aggressive circles of the financial capital are needed" .
