Tsipras at 2022 state budget debate: 'You failed, economically & morally'
SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Alexis Tsipras slammed the government and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during the final day of the parliamentary debate on the 2022 state budget on Saturday.
Addressing the premier, the main opposition party leader said he "failed, not only in terms of the economy, but also morally."
Continuing, Tsipras added that "not only your so-called executive state proved insufficient [...] but your biggest problem is that your government -and you personally- tried to reap political gains at a time of crisis and pain, during the public health tragedy and the financial hardship, and attempted to create a false triumph, an illusion of success based on lies and propaganda."
With his criticism focusing on the government's management of the coronavirus pandemic, Tsipras said "reality is bleak for the people who will perish, when they could be saved instead."
