The government’s responses to current issues.
The briefing of the political editors by the government representative Yiannis Oikonomou is currently underway.
The government spokesperson started the briefing with a reference to the Novartis case. As he said, the government is separated by an abyss in the perception of justice from SYRIZA. As he said in his statement last Friday, he neither made personal references, nor discounted court decisions. The court will decide. The government, he said, will wait for the judgment of the justice that referred those it judged and for the reason it judged. “Mr. Tsipras insists on keeping silent about the ten political opponents he targeted. Justice has already ruled on the nine. His close associate is referred for interventions. Mr. Tsipras cannot remain silent.”
At the same time, Mr. Economou also referred to tomorrow’s anniversary of the referendum, saying that it was one of a series of destructive actions that cost the country a fourth, unnecessary, memorandum. Mr. Tsipras intended to turn Greece into a pariah place. 18 billion euros were lost. The Don Quixotes of SYRIZA fought with windmills and this cost more than 100 billion. The country remained in the memos for another four years. They had sought loans from Russia and China, which closed the door on them.
