SYRIZA leader calls the political forces to clarify their position...

Main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras on Saturday underlined the need his party to dominate politically and to take advantage of its victory in the euroelections and within this framework to undertake initiatives towards the national agreement, during his address to his party's central committee.

He charged the government and prime minister (Antonis Samaras) for "humiliation of the parliamentary institutions and scaremongering" and reassured that SYRIZA will not follow this path.

He stated that his party is at this moment the most powerful and organised political force of the country, that it is a political force that secures the stability".

Ahead of the start of the procedures for the election of President of Republic, Tsipras called all the political forces as well as the independent MPs to state their position clearly.

Despite the fact that he did not rule out the possibility of rapid political developments he underlined "we can say with certainty that the presidential elections will be a landmark for the country" because as he said "the government has not the parliamentary majority to elect the new president which would allow it to continue its disastrous course".

Tsipras said that SYRIZA should not be trapped in the so-called ideological clarity adding that authority means "the ability to create a majority with axis our programme" and pledged that he will insist on the need of a wide political, social and national agreement.

He said that the government has dried along with its success story's bubble and charged Samaras and Venizelos that " in order to undermine SYRIZA, they do not hesitate to undermine the country's stability" adding that the prime minister did not have the boldness to demand what the programme he co-signed foresees: that after the achievement of a primary surplus he will start the discussion for the debt's sustainability".

The main opposition leader predicted that "probably the markets will be hostile towards Greece for a long period" adding that the markets are playing their own games and opined that only after a substantial debt relief they will stop being hostile".

Referring to the developments in the Balkans and in the Middle East, Tsipras charged Turkey's stance on Cyprus Republic's EEZ saying that "it consists a despicable violation of Cyprus Republic's rights enshrined by the international law. He also expressed his concern over the recent developments in Dervitsani, Albania, noting the need for immediate action against the nationalist tension in the Balkans that is against the efforts for cooperation and solution to the problems of the area.
