In an interview with private “Skai” TV in the morning of Sunday, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras attacked Alexis Tsipras, the leader of the main opposition SYRIZA party, by accusing him of supporting an economic system – that of Venezuela – that has been proven ineffective time and again.

Mr. Samaras characterized the main opposition party as a modern day “Tower of Babel” where every member has a different idea about what their program should be.

Moreover, he accused Mr. Tsipras of only being open to cooperation with anti-EU parties like KKE and ANTARSYA, noting that calling SYRIZA a pro-European party can is a “joke”.
