Upon being asked to comment on Mr. Tolios’ statement that no interest will be paid during paying off the national debt, Mr. Samaras explicitly said that the opposition party is driving the country head-on to bankruptcy.

‘’They will drive us to bankruptcy’’, the PM stated clearly on his way out of Maximos Mansion at noon, Wednesday.
Responding to the question of whether he has heard SYRIZA executives’ statements and their refusal to pay interest and borrowing repayments, he replied : ‘’ I most surely heard of it last night, as it was well kept in hiding by Mr. Tsipras until then. This is a decision made in their conference, and it is one which commits them all to driving the country to a standstill of all payments and eventually to bankruptcy’’.

Mr. Samaras went on commenting the decision of their Congress which includes “no payment of interest nor making any amortization payments, which is binding on all. In other words to drive the country in default and bankruptcy”.
