Answering a journalist's question on the developments in the negotiations, Ev. Venizelos said:
The relief we feel, because the country avoids the destruction which its government threatened it with -five years after 2010- cannot hide the fact that we have reached this point in the worst possible way.
The lost five-month period has vastly raised the bill.
The Greek people are called upon to be submitted to recession measures. As I have said, the Hardouvelis email seems like child’s play compared to the list of measures agreed by Mr. Tsipras’ government. And we are still not finished.
It should be understood that the only solution to the debt is to follow in the footsteps of 2012. The government is finally obliged to admit a historical truth that it has slandered and concealed.
We wish for a growth package to be received, but these are Community and national funds that exist and which the government has abandoned in the last five months.
