Europe because he cannot persuade anyone with his scaremongering of a possible Grexit. Mr. Samaras was accused of investing in three things: deposits outflow, Grexit fears and unsustainable debt.

Mr. Tsipras noted that the scare tactics have come to an end thanks to the European institutional officials, European governments, the international press and top international economists. He said that Mr. Samaras and the “darkest European perpetrators of austerity” are the only ones that “insist on the fairytale with the dragons.”

SYRIZA party headquarters released a text of 5 pylons and 12 points responding to Mr. Samaras claims, stating that there was an attempt to “trick citizens as had been done with Zappeia 1 and 2 with 18 points of negotiation prior to the elections of 2012. Mr. Tsipras pointed out that 2015 is not like 2012.

Furthermore, he reiterated that SYRIZA is aiming for a majority government to reflect democracy, the people’s will and the power for a debt negotiation with the country’s international creditors.
