In an announcement released on Sunday evening, main opposition SYRIZA party rejected Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ public call for consensus and his proposal to broaden the government’s composition until the next national elections, to take place by the end of 2015.

“Mr. Samaras, having realized that he will not be able to secure the 180 votes needed to elect a President for the Republic, decided to reiterate today his already known suggestions, interspersed with plenty of attacks against SYRIZA”, said the main oppositions announcement.

According to SYRIZA, the Prime Minister is afraid of the judgment of the Greek people which he finally won’t be able to avoid.
