“People with their vote have legitimized the memorandum. The people are the one who set political developments, what is moral and what is not, what is acceptable and what is not” Giorgos Tsipras, cousin of prime minister Alexis Tsipras and General Secretary of the Foreign Ministry said via Facebook.

“The people gave us a second chance. Despite what happened, they gave us an opportunity to get things completed as we promised. And this is why we have a huge responsibility to succeed, not to disappoint them” he added.
