Minister of Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Panagiotis Lafazanis stated that he will not approve of a deal which will mire Greece, and that the country will not surrender to its lenders, thus throwing himself in between the deal that the Government is trying to achieve with lenders.

The Left will not dirty is hands in a neoliberal deal against workers’ rights. Mr. Lafazanis clarified that SYRIZA will not be a test tube for the EU’s and the IMF’s plans since “the country has not one, but many alternatives in keeping to the memorandum deal in other forms”.
