New Democracy (ND)

Evangelos Meimarakis, leader of major opposition party New Democracy (ND) repeated that forming a government was still possible, in an interview to Skai TV, Tuesday. The leader of ND said Tsipras is holding the elections so that he can lose and ‘run away’, while he accused the Greek PM of representing economic interests.

Major opposition party leader of New Democracy (ND) Evangelos Meimarakis returned the mandate, Monday morning, he received from Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos Friday, after failed attempts (something totally predictable) to form a coalition government from the current political groups in the Greek parliament.

UPD-

Main opposition New Democracy (ND) president Vangelis Meimarakis employed past descriptions used by ruling leftist SYRIZA party — when it was in the opposition — to ask whether “coup instigators” and “criminals of Europe” gave us the money to remain alive?

Now, wouldn’t this be special?

A main opposition New Democracy (ND) deputy on Tuesday tabled a question requesting an inquiry into whether a “well-known” government minister withdrew …200,000 euros from a fixed-term savings account days before capital controls were imposed!

Main opposition leader New Democracy (ND) leader Vangelis Meimarakis, while mostly expressing a conciliatory tone, emphasised on Friday that the country was in a much better conditions six months ago, before a leftist SYRIZA government came to power.

Greek PM Alexis Tsipras was received by the country’s president on Wednesday, immediately after he returned from a tumultuous two days in Brussels and Strasbourg — where, amongst others, he was served with an ultimatum by creditors to achieve a bailout deal.

New Democracy (ND) president Antonis Samaras announced his resignation on Sunday evening in the wake of the landslide “no” vote in the same-day referendum .

The former prime minister said that ex-parliament president Vangelis Meimarakis will take over the post as a transitional party president until a party congress is convened to elect a new ND leader.

Greek PM Alexis Tsipras is expected to make his “political solution” pitch to Eurozone partners-cum creditors in Riga on Thursday evening, on the sidelines of a EU summit in the Latvian capital.

The main opposition conservative New Democracy (ND) party accused the government of being unreliable following a press report in a Greek newspaper, according to which Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is alleged to have sent a letter to the IMF, warning the Fund of Greece’s likely bankruptcy.
