SYRIZA was unable to provide answers on the cost estimate for its proposals

"Obviously, they have nothing to say about the cost estimate for their proposals," government spokeswoman Sofia Voultepsi said on Friday, commenting on a relevant response by main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) concerning the party's economic proposals announced by its leader Alexis Tsipras in his address in Thessaloniki's TIF earlier in the month.

"They couldn't give an answer to us or to the criticism they received even from their own," Voultepsi noted. "Everybody knows that they will lead to new colossal deficits, new mandatory loans, new debt increases and new memorandums," she added.

"The answer to their questions, as regards how quickly we were able to calculate the cost of their proposals, is easy: it wasn't that hard! We would gladly show them in detail, one-by-one, why they have their numbers hopelessly wrong, so that they won't make such blunders again," the government spokeswoman said.
