Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called the leader of main opposition party New Democracy, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, yesterday in an attempt to reach consensus and define a national stance on refugees and migrants issue.

However, a few hours later Mr. Tsipras lashed out at Mr. Mitsotakis, who is in favor of a common stance on refugee issue.

The prime minister said that he plans to convene a meeting of political leaders before the extraordinary EU summit to be held on 6 -7 March.

Mr. Tsipras talks about national consensus, but at the same time he continues the political confrontation referring to corruption and economic program issues.

Yesterday, Mr. Tsipras presented to the Parliament a letter of Walter Borjans on the “hesitation”, as he claimed, of the previous government to cooperate with North Rhine-Westphalia on “possible indications” of Greek tax dodgers.
