In an interview with Kathimerini on Sunday, Alexis Tsipras once again rules out the possibility of seeking to form a government if SYRIZA is the second party, while he expresses the belief that the citizens will not take into account the gallops.

He also expresses the opinion that simple proportionality can lead to a sustainable government of cooperation and adds: “who will take the responsibility and the cost under any pretext, to lead the country to the second and third elections that the ND seeks?”.

He notes that no one is excluded from his proposal for governmental cooperation “except the ND, Mr. Velopoulos’s party and the extreme right”.

When asked about Pavlos Polakis, he replied that SYRIZA is a democratic and pluralist party: “We don’t all have the same views and the same style”, he emphasizes, adding that recognizing mistakes, even in public, distinguishes them from intentions and sees their negative effects on collective action, it is an act of elemental responsibility.

“And it is much more substantial than a pretend apology,” he says characteristically.

Asked about the fence in Evros, Alexis Tsipras says: “Obviously we will maintain it, but we will not stop at that. We will claim the protection of our borders on the basis of international and European law”.
