His “arrows” were fired again by Yannis Ragousis to the president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis on the occasion of the agreement on its merger Attica Bank with the Pankritia Bank.

Speaking to OPEN Mr. Ragousis pointed out that “SYRIZA should not vote against the merger agreement between Attica Bank and Pancreatia Bank if it wants to be called a party of power”, as it is a “beneficial agreement” as he specifically stated.

“SYRIZA was a party of power, ruled Greece and expects to rule Greece again. When you are a party in power you must, especially in matters of major importance, you must not position yourself with an oppositional bias” and gave the example of defense spending.

Referring, in fact, to the developments in the banking sector, he argued that “the first is that this is a very serious issue for Greek society and economy”.

“We remember the bankruptcy case of Lehman brothers in 2008. My opinion is that Attica and Pancreatia, if this agreement does not proceed, then there will be two Lehman brothers in the foundations of the banking system,” he added.

“The SYRIZA president’s “whoever doesn’t like it, leave” is a very serious problem”

Asked to comment on what happened at SYRIZA’s COES, he stated:

“The problem was created from the moment the president of SYRIZA took the position with this well-known phrase. If this was a bad human moment, let it be said and explained as such. If this was a political position that says that anyone who dares to express a different opinion in the future will be thrown out of the party, then the problem will be present and it will be very serious.”
