Gov't spokeswoman lashes out at SYRIZA parliamentary group spokesman Lafazanis
Government spokeswoman Sofia Voultepsi charged main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) of "upsetting the markets", in comments responding to statements on Monday by SYRIZA parliamentary group spokesman Panagiotis Lafazanis.
Voultepsi noted that Lafazanis said in an interview to private Mega TV on Monday that his party will not accept financing for the country to which commitments will be attached. Among other things, he said that his party would abolish the memorandum unilaterally and its related laws through a law voted in Parliament, demand a writeoff for the greatest part of the debt (saying "they owe us, we don't owe them"), disengage from any guardianship and not follow "the boss," as he called the markets.
Voultepsi said Lafazanis admitted that the consequences by implementing the SYRIZA programme could be painful. "These painful consequences are the exit from the eurozone, the confiscation of bank accounts and finally bankruptcy. This is where SYRIZA's catastrophic policy leads. And indeed the new inflationary one-thousand-drachma banknote will have Lafazanis' portrait on it," Voultepsi added.
