ND leader Meimarakis says Varoufakis should be held politically accountable

Tsipras cannot risk country for internal politics

Vangelis Meimarakis, the leader of major opposition party New Democracy accused Greek PM Alexis Tsipras of brinkmanship in an interview on Greek TV Tuesday evening. Meimarakis said Tsipras cannot risk the country’s future by calling elections in order to solve his internal party problems.

On the issue of former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis’s ‘Plan B’ which saw the public light recently, he said New Democracy would demand those responsible to be held politically accountable. He made it clear that he would pursue all political responsibilities but not legal ones. Continuing he said that if Tsipras was aware of the plan he is either dangerous or incompetent.
