SYRIZA

The SYRIZA-Independent Greeks coalition is rushing to make citizens believe that the country is returning to normalcy and that due to its goodness it is handing out money and hiring pledges right and left.

The Prime Minister’s Office has chosen not to respond to questions that have arisen regarding Manolis Petsitis.

Greece will stay at the tail end of eurozone states, and Greeks who are in the lower economic brackets of salaried employees will remain the poor relatives in the family.

Those parties which were condemned by the government as constituting the “old” political system left their old bad habits behind, and the “new regime” copied all those habits in a bid to ensure its political survival.

Political normalcy requires clears rules of the game. It means that a government does not live and breathe only with elections in mind, without setting their date.

Alavanos said that the social benefits and handouts announced by Tsipras are a pittance in comparison to wage and pension cuts and the disastrous effect of over-taxation.

By all appearances, there is an emerging current in the ruling party that favours early elections even before the local and European Parliament Parliament elections

On the crucial question, “Which party will bring economic growth?” New Democracy leads ruling SYRIZA by a whopping 30 percentage points.

Simitis has unwittingly been transformed into a symbol of resistance against all those who, armed with fake news and fetid propaganda, dream of becoming the Maduros or Erdogans of Greece.

Acts of violence besmirch and desecrate an anniversary that should be an occasion for a democratic rallying cry, and not division.

The aim of the criminalisation of politics is obvious, to perpetuate suspicions about the activity of SYRIZA’s political opponents, and especially those who represent the centre-left.

The government has polarised the political system. It has attempted to divide society. It has manufactured enemies. It has sent messages of intolerance.

Kammenos has publicly linked Soros “irredentist groups in Skopje” to which “he has contributed billions”, an to the 'slanderous attack' against the minister regarding the management of funds earmarked for refugee

The outline of the over 7,000-word proposal was presented by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in an address to his parliamentary group on 30 October, and the main issue that was left open was the provision for the election of the President of the Republic by Parliament.

The promised abolition of the bailout memorandum with one article in one law was nothing less than a promise that life would return to pre-crisis levels.

The leadership of the justice ministry had pre-announced the prosecution of politicians stemming from the Novartis scandal. Another minister told a SYRIZA party organ that “some people have to be put in jail for us to win the elections.”

The government attempted to persuade public opinion that the auctions involve only debtors who are able to pay but do not, and that the properties being auctioned off are all villas and mansions.

What would Greece receive in return by turning the country into a US military base? How would it be shielded in terms of defence?

A prime minister who veers between the role of a Machiavellian orchestrator, and of a passive observer who simply urges or allows ministers to engage in mutual political extermination, does not serve his office.

You feed the public with an alleged “clean hands” approach, even as you are setting up new vested interests

That reality of daily auctions of foreclosed properties was not what SYRIZA and the Independent Greeks were promising before they came to power.

“Citizens feel insecure even in the centre of Athens,” New Democracy said in a statement, which comes on the heels of the death of a 25-year-old university student during a mugging on Philopappos Hill

'The ENFIA real estate tax is so unjust that it cannot be corrected, and it must be abolished,” SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras had said at the Thessaloniki International Fair in September, 2014

«Θα πρέπει να καταστεί εξαρχής σαφές: θα πάμε συμφωνημένα για ένα ενιαίο και συνεκτικό πολιτικό κόμμα και όχι για μια ομοσπονδία κομμάτων, έναν συνασπισμό», τονίζει ο δήμαρχος Αθηναίων και υποψήφιος για την ηγεσία του νέου φορέα της Κεντροαριστεράς, Γιώργος Καμίνης, με συνέντευξή του στο Βήμα. «Ο κόσμος σήμερα», προσθέτει, «ζητεί καθαρές και σαφείς λύσεις: επιθυμεί […]
