The authoritarian downhill and the hypocrisy of the government are bottomless, main opposition SYRIZA said on Monday, citing Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ statement in 2011 that the civil mobilization of employees is a “Junta method.”

However, the government opted once again for that method in the case of Public Power Corporation (PPC) employees, SYRIZA noted in a statement.

In contrast, SYRIZA, defends democracy and proposes a referendum on the issue, it added.
