ND says government using disagreements between lenders to shed responsibility

Main opposition New Democracy (ND) on Tuesday slammed the government about its comments on the ongoing negotiations with the country’s lenders, saying it’s surprising they have only now realised that there are disagreements within the troika.

ND spokesman Costas Karagounis said these differences have existed for years and criticized the government for wasting time and opportunities and finding a new pretext for not submitting the omnibus bill to Parliament.

“It cites internal differences in the troika, but the real reason is the internal differences in their party,” Karagounis noted, adding that “Greece’s agony remains” and the “economic paralysis continues because of the government’s inability to understand what’s going on and take the necessary decisions.”
