On the issue of the negotiations between his former ‘comrades’ in the SYRIZA government with the EU ‘Quartet’ institutions he denied there were any real talks going on, but a kind of friction between the EU partners and not a real negotiation like in the recent past. ‘Now we are moving towards the full implementation of the memorandum’, he said.
