About the “invasion” of Panagiotis Lafazanis on the crucial council of political leaders in 2015, after the referendum as well as the phone call that then Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had with Russian President Vladimir Putin, former Minister and MP.

In an interview with One, Mr Pappas said that he was accompanying Mr Tsipras and describes: “Indeed this phone call was made (Tsipras – Putin). Lafazanis had a feeling that some There would be an alternative to funding (from Russia). This was not confirmed by any treaty and the Council of Political Leaders continued, which I think is also a declaration of intentions and reflects another picture of the public sphere. “ he said first.

As Mr. Pappas pointed out, Alexis Tsipras was not isolated on the Council of July 6, “He finds understanding and there is convergence that we must claim an agreement with funding. “

‘Panagiotis Lafazanis was steady with exit the euro and pushed to accept the Schoeble proposal Get 50 billion liquidity and leave the single currency. In this context, obviously – I was not ahead of the discussion he had with Alexis Tsipras – I realized that he told him that From Russia we will be able to fund‘he noted.

He then stresses that ”the phone call (between the two leaders), was far from reality. I say it kindly as possible. ”

To the contacts of the then government with Russia, Mr Pappas said that Mr Tsipras had officially visited the country.

He then noted that there was a crisis within the government: ‘There was an intra -governmental crisis which was strategy and it was deeply For a piece of Government executives used to say that she had to stop she The process, to leave the single currency and continue. Alexis Tsipras took her historical responsibility – And with him those who served this choice- to the country is left in Europeto give the battle to adverse correlations and We have been rightly justified”

As he added to the Council of Politics Leaders, “things were launched” and “the expectations of the great powers of that time were not with the general economic upheavals. No one had such priorities. ”

According to Mr Pappas, the thought of not having an agreement and to leave the euro, “it was not in Tsipras’ strategy and this was valued.”

“I get angry when I hear Konstantopoulou say that Tsipras committed dishonesty. Ms Konstantopoulou went down to the elections after Mr Lafazani and received 2.8%. What can we do that the people chose SYRIZA to move from there and down? Those who say that it was dismissed and turned it into yes to yes, hide that they were held after elections and one strategy and the other were valued. If the people wanted to leave the euro, they would have voted on one of the parties we were saying to leave the euro. There were these options‘he noted.

What Prokopis Pavlopoulos revealed about Lafazan’s “invasion”

Mr Pappas’ statements were made after the revelations made by the former President of the Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos In the show “In front of the Annual”.

As Mr said. Pavlopoulosabout two hours after the start of the Council of Political Leaders, Mr Lafazanis went to the Presidency of the Republic and asked to see Alexis Tsipras.

“The door opened and I was told that Lafazanis came and wants to talk to Tsipras who told me to stop to see what was going on. I saw that the meeting lasted. As I learned, Lafazanis told Tsipras that with this method the “no” will be “yes” and ignored a proposal made by Russia. That the Putin wanted to help Greece with money and if needed to cut coin to leave the eurozone”

Then, as Mr. Pavlopoulos describes, “I told Tsipras that he should communicate. Lafazanis handled things that I was ignoring and I couldn’t imagine. The two went to the office of the Secretary General of the Presidency and Tsipras contacted Putin who declared complete ignorance. And that’s not what I say, he says, as Hollande describes in his book, that one or two days after they said to him “because you may have heard that I am involved in Greece, I don’t know who gets involved, I have told them to stay in Europe“
