The main topics discussed during the meeting between the Greek Prime Minister, the president of PASOK and the Minister of Finance, were the completion of negotiations with troika and the movements in the  geopolitical chessboard in the Eastern Mediterranean which will give political advantage within the Greek government.

The government connects the two issues which however have a common denominator, which is no other than the need for Greece to remain a stabilizing factor in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean, at a time when Turkey creates instability.

Further, the government contends that developments confirm the need for a stable government,  dismisses the proposal  to convene a Political Leaders meeting or a meeting between  Samaras – Tsipras.

According to an associate of the Prime Minister ” In a critical situation the opposition is only interested in elections which will create political instability. It is obvious that as long as they don’t withdraw the request, there will be no common ground”.
