“We need to disassociation euro and referendum. We are not saying that we will conduct a referendum to approve the agreement, but if negotiations are to be delayed for a long time, then people will decide” he said. Regarding the possibility that partners might connect any referendum with Greece remaining in the eurozone, he expressed with confidence that Germany “would not put at risk the Mega – project of the euro due to Greece trying to protect the wages of its people wages”.

Mr. Pappas stated that a SYRIZA government would estbalish a new agreement and claims the Greek people vote to strike down the agreement that Antonis Samara’s government prepares with the troika. “Our government has a say in our country’s issues”, he said .

Yesterday Mr Pappas when asked what SYRIZA government will do, he noted : “Exiting from the eurozone is not an option for us. If people elect us, we will not raise a currency issue, but if troika tries to impose the agreement on us, Greek people will be asked and they will decide”.
