Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Evangelos Meimarakis attacked the government on the omnibus bill of non performing loans which was “submitted in the middle of the night on emergency procedure after agreeing with the lenders on its translation”.

“The government proved again how much it deceived the Greek citizen in order to steal his vote. Because, unfortunately, starting from today thousands of Greeks are facing the risk of losing their home through foreclosure” said Mr. Meimarakis and underlined that new taxes will be imposed and thousands of job positions are threatened”.
