Main opposition New Democracy spokesperson Costas Karagounis on Monday left open all possibilities as far as it concerns the party’s stance towards the agreement between the Greek government and its creditors.
In statements to ANA-MPA, Karagounis spoke of a rather negative negotiation climate that is the government’s responsibility. He estimated there would be no agreement at today’s Eurogroup meeting adding that the government’s options are either a painful memorandum with 14 billion euro measures or a disorderly default.
“Instead of concluding the latest review and continuing on the safe path that New Democracy had started, the government puts the party interests above the national ones.”
“We have been asking for an agreement from the very first moment and as time goes by, the government is being led to a worse compromise,” he said and added: “In any way an agreement with tax increases will take the Greek economy a step back.”
Asked on how he sees the following day, he said that an agreement with tax increases will hurt the recovery while a failure will lead the country close to collapse.
