The society expects huge changes, says PM Tsipras during the cabinet meeting

He referred to the need for huge reforms adding the result proves that the government can meet its targets through harsh negotiation

A cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras took place on Tuesday, with the discussions focused on the non-performing loans, the protection of the first residence from auctions and the measures that the government needs to take according to the agreement signed with the creditors.

The meeting took place following yesterday’s Eurogroup during which the positive climate was confirmed and the acceptance of the progress made in the implementation of the Greek program.

Regarding the Eurogroup meeting, he said that the result proves that the government can meet its targets through harsh negotiation.

According to sources, the Prime Minister referred to the need for huge reforms and underlined that it would be a catastrophe if the government just remained stuck to the implementation of the memorandum.

Mr. Tsipras said “The society expects huge changes and the government must, despite the huge difficulties, leave its mark on history by changing structures and attitudes” adding “Our aim is to make deep reforms and not just to win the communication game. Our reform effort will be directed to the public administration, the health system, the restoration of the labour relations, the tackling of black labour and the battle against corruption,”.
