Gov't spokeswoman: Markets reaction frightened SYRIZA
Government spokeswoman Sofia Voultepsi on Monday in an interview to private Mega TV attributed the negative markets' reaction to main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras' statement that he will not recognise any commitment of the current government towards the country's lenders.
Voultepsi said even SYRIZA was frightened by the markets' reaction and was forced to change its stance.
The government spokeswoman defended the government's line that a debate on the 'day after' should open because the European support programme ends in late 2014 and only the IMF programme that ends in March 2016 remains.
Regarding the presidential elections, she noted "at the end of the day when all the details and the information are available, the government will have the 180 votes needed for the election for the President in order for the country to be saved."
