Tsipras: “Besides liars, they are dangerous and must leave”

The president of SYRIZA reiterated the political importance of the elections of 25 May whereas "will prove a landmark for our generation. And, to a large extent, will determine the fate of the next". In a new attack against the government in response to the Medium Term Program 2015-2018, Tsipras said "except liars, they are dangerous and must leave" and added: "How could they finish the memorandum and the austerity, when the new Medium Term 2015-2018 provides austerity measures until 2018? On public spending, salaries of public servants and supplementary pensions. As on the tenure of cuts. Their medium-term proves them to be liars. That's why we say: Besides liars, they dangerous and must leave".

Tsipras also launched an attack against fellow candidate for the presidency of the Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, because of recent statements on Cyprus, by noting: "Juncker, candidate for President of the European Commission from the European People's Party, was quick to comment on Cyprus, in an effort to create a positive profile in the Greek and Cypriot people. It seems that he treats citizens as goldfish with weak memory that have already forgotten that Eurogroup and the policy of Merkel, who support him, threw Cyprus in fire. Why he, as President of Eurogroup until January 2013, pushed, as much as he could, Cyprus towards the nails of lenders. Why he had described imperative the "haircut" of deposits in Cyprus. And now wants to present himself as the protector of Cyprus".
