We did not create MeRA 25 to become ministers of Mr. Tsipras, the secretary of MeRA 25 emphasized to SKAI and the show Today Yannis Varoufakis.

“The (discussion on) cooperation with Tsipras ended much earlier, and we ended it. We who believe in simple analogy, we love it, we value it, we want to honor it in practice,” he said.

According to the head of MeRA 25, “if Greece had a constitution like Germany’s, we could sit for 3-3.5 months with Merkel as acting chancellor. Here our Constitution tells us three days, you cannot have a serious discussion. For two years we invite to sit around a table.”

We, clarified Mr. Varoufakis, “said that in the end this agreement is not possible, since the SYRIZA leadership tells us, well PASOK cut it off from the beginning, the leadership said “come after Sunday” that is, to get any ministry”. “Well, we are not interested, we did not create MeRA 25 to become ministers of Mr. Tsipras,” he said characteristically.

“We wanted an open pre-election dialogue… Let SYRIZA decide whether they want cooperation or not. For two years now, Alexis Tsipras himself has been talking about cooperation
SYRIZA, PASOK, Day 25. If they want to work together, they should talk to us.” he interpreted.

“We are very proud of Dimitra”

Mr. Varoufakis noted that he has been scientifically working on the issue of “Dimitra” for over 20 years… “It was in our pre-election program in June 2019 and a permanent position of our party”.

“The Dimetra system is something we are very proud of. It is the future of digital transactions worldwide. It’s the future. It is good to have this discussion” insisted Yanis Varoufakis.

According to Mr. Varoufakis, “if you were a firefighter and they told you that you were playing with fire because you have a forest firefighting plan… If you were a general and you were accused of being a warmonger because you have a plan because you have a plan in your drawers if Turkey takes Kastelorizo. You’re not warmongering, that’s your job. In 2015, Varoufakis did not close the banks, Mario Draghi did. It’s like accusing the doctor who signs the death certificate of murdering the victim. The killer is Mario Draghi. “The article I speak provocatively about blowing up the banking system was published in the international press about the global and especially the American banking system,” he clarified.

Tsakalotou’s proposal

As the head of MERA 25 mentioned, the proposal of Euclid Tsakalotos for local currencies only with “Dimitra” it clicks. “The idea of ​​local currencies is a very old idea. It works in Switzerland, in countries like Australia, it is of limited importance. But it is possible, for example, in an area like Northern Greece, or Thrace or Epirus, to create a system like “Dimitra”, but based on the municipality of Ioannina, for example transactions with local currency, which means that you keep value in the area, helping to make more transactions in the place, not a bad thing. But that has to be built somewhere. A “Dimitra” system could be used for this. Others are of limited importance in front of the importance of Demeter”.
