Panhellenic Socialist Movement

PASOK leader Fofi Gennimata lashed out on Saturday against the SYRIZA-led coalition and opposition New Democracy, essentially describing them as two sides of the same coin.

Former Socialist minister Yiannis Ragousis will on Wednesday be launching a new political movement, or would-be party, at a press conference in the Gazi district of central Athens.

Former PASOK minister Nikos Athanassopoulos died on Saturday at the age of 93, it was confirmed on Easter Monday.

Born in 1923 in Neohori, Arcadia, Athassopoulos studied law at Athens University and went on to reach the level of deputy prosecutor of the appeals court.

President of PASOK Fofi Gennimata responded to the accusations of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stressing that the financial data of PASOK were released at the initiative of the same party and asked Alexis Tsipras:

The leaders of the opposition who participated in the political leaders meeting held on Friday morning were shocked by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ statement. According to sources, he admitted that he “cannot separate the refugees from immigrants”.

“SYRIZA, Podemos – venceremos” chanted Podemos’s Pablo Iglesias into the microphone back in January 25, on the golden days of the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA). Greece had voted to “tear the bailout” and the anti-austerity sentiment was high. It was believed that an anti-austerity movement would rip-roar through Europe beginning in Greece with SYRIZA.

Back then, Iglesias had said:

The political leaders’ meeting will take place on Saturday, at 12:00 focusing on the refugee issue, the social security reforms and the revision of Constitution.

PASOK leader Fofi Gennimata spoke to the national broadcaster ERT and said that she is in favour of the agreement and cooperation of many political forces stressing that “the story of the parliamentary majority is an illusion”.

“What our country needs is plan, cooperation, work and care” she added.

Radical Left Coalition Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, head of the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government’s Left Platform, is urging Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to recoil from the agreement before austerity legislation makes its way to Greek Parliament.

Leftist SYRIZA MPs toed the party line on Monday and ratified a controversial law eliminating ? maximum security prisons in Greece and essentially opening the jailhouse gate for a notorious terrorist.
