The president of the left party SYRIZA Alexis Tsipras, speaking to the Greek newspaper ’’ Kiriakatikh Eleftherotypia’’ , asked for the election process of the new President of the Republic to be expedited.
“The challenge lies right before us. If he is so sure that he has the right number, let us not wait for February. However, when you refuse to have a Parliamentary session at the request of 139 MPs in the case of PPC and you don’t hesitate to violate the Constitution itself, just because you’ll lose the Parliamentary Declared Confidence, it is funny to invoke that you have secured 180 members for the presidential election “.
“I do not think there will be any serious person willing to act as a modern ‘’Tsirimokos’’. Besides, if national elections don’t precede the Presidential election, which is a most likely occasion, then the presidential election will not judge the candidate himself .It will determine whether this governing political coalition of destruction can and should endure, “says the president of SYRIZA.
