During a press conference at the 79th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) on Monday, the Communist Party (KKE) secretary general Dimitris Koutsoumbas said that both the coalition of New Democracy and PASOK and main opposition SYRIZA are trying to deceive the people.

KKE Secretary General accused the three parties of trying to entrap the citizens and divert their attention from their real problems to the question of which government will better negotiate with the troika.

Referring to Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and Government Vice-President Evangelos Venizelos’ announcements at TIF, Mr. Koutsoumbas said they were “provocative” for the working classes.
