Tsipras on ND’s first year of governance: One year everything wrong
SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras said that ruling New Democracy (ND) did everything wrong in its first year of governance, in an interview with the Sunday edition of Ethnos newspaper and estimated that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will make cuts to social spending and will cut salaries and pensions.
He criticised the government on the bill for public protests underlining that "The right-wing party can't escape from its phobic syndromes and revenge upon anyone it considers trying to question it. The raw intervention to the core of the democratic rights will turn into a huge fiasco".
Speaking of his party, Tsipras said that SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance's reformation will proceed to " a popular and mass party that will constitute the heart of the major progressive and democratic party of Greece".
On the Greek-Turkish relations, Tsipras said that the government's problem is "the lack of strategy against a Turkey that is more and more supported by the US and an EU that is sinking into introversion and getting more and more weak in the Mediterranean.
He claimed that "we must return to an active multidimensional and assertive foreign policy that will highlight Greece's role as pillar of peace and stability".
