The (not-so-)great debate: ND-SYRIZA can’t work together (vid)

All eyes were on the Greek political leader’s debate that took place on Monday, ahead of the snap elections set for September 20. With polls showing that neither of the two rivals are likely to secure a majority, both Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras and conservative main opposition New Democracy party head Vangelis Meimarakis wary of alienating voters.

ND leader asks “What is Tsipras trying to hide?”

Main opposition New Democracy Party leader Vangelis Meimarakis is holding a press conference at the Ioannis Vellidis Center in Thessaloniki.

“In 2012 we could have communicated and worked together to leave behind all that separated us so that the country could get out of its predicament,” he said.

Meimarakis: If ND first it will ask second party to join govt coalition

Conservative New Democracy party leader Evangelos Meimarakis was “liberal” in his disparagement of his main rival Alexis Tsipras on Monday evening, speaking during a late-night current affairs program, and days after a smattering of opinion polls have him catching up with radical leftist or even enjoying a very slim lead.

The conservative ND party loosens its tie, joins old and new at Rigillis St.
