During yesterday’s debate on the omnibus bill, the opposition unleashed a fierce attack on the government of Alexis Tsipras.

The debate was focused on the moral issues of the left government and the MPs of opposition parties responded to the transparency issues posed by government representatives, especially following the scandal with the undeclared assets of 1mln involving SYRIZA’s minister Giorgos Stathakis.

The new heavy tax measures, the new Code of Ethics of banks which paves the way to auctions in first residence, and the upcoming reductions in pensions were the top themes of opposition parties.

Moreover, opposition parties New Democracy and PASOK had a strong conflict on the issue of FYROM name that came up after the leader of the Golden Dawn revealed a letter sent by Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias on October 12 letter to all parties.
