Tsipras: We’ve started unraveling the memorandum regime

For the next four months, government will give a constant daily battle, said the Greek Prime Minister

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Thursday referred to a daily “battle” for the next four months, speaking to this ruling SYRIZA party’s secretariat.

During an extensive debate on the new loan agreement extension and negotiations between Athens and its creditors, Tsipras reportedly ticked off the government’s objectives during negotiations, namely, to:

-To move rapidly towards sweeping reforms to combat tax evasion and corruption and to restructure public administration

-To implement a mandate to exercise governance of the country, starting with the abolition of the memorandum

– To maintain and increase what he called a “broad and unprecedented popular unity”, by implementing the backbone of SYRIZA’s pledges to the weakest socio-economic classes

– To utilize Greece’s “geopolitical dynamics” in favor of the government’s bargaining power
