Mr. Mitsotakis blasted the Greek PM calling on him to withdraw the amendment. “I personally call on you to protect the prestige of the Parliament, I call on you to tell the PM to withdraw the amendment”, he said. On his part, Mr. Tsipras attacked the leader of ND stressing that his party should be in favour of the amendment since he professes to support entrepreneurship.
