“To Potami” founder and leader Stavros Theodorakis will explore possible post-election cooperation in a bid to aid in the composition of a majority government.

Theodorakis, a well-known television journalist and current affairs show presenter, said that anyone who “sentences” the country to yet another round of problems will be “criminally irresponsible”.

He clarified that his party, which means “river” in Greek and is currently polled as coming in third or fourth in the Jan. 25  elections, will pursue major political agreements without asking for ministerial portfolios.

Speaking to the Thema newspaper, he says he’s in direct contact with Alexis Tsipras, however, he clarified that cooperation is not simply the product of good personal relations.

Theodorakis emphasized that there are certain leftist SYRIZA members that “make correct observations when referring to the past”, while a cacophony of proposals for the future lacks sense.

He concluded by saying that New Democracy and PASOK have failed and that even their most diehard supporters are looking for something new.
