New Democracy accused SYRIZA on Friday of trying to stoke public sentiment ahead of September, when the troika is scheduled to return to Athens and the government is going to have to complete the first phase of its mobility scheme.
The accusations are not as far-fetched as they sound. SYRIZA member and former parliamentary candidate for the leftist party, Andreas Karayiannis, who is very outspoken, recently wrote on his Facebook wall that during August, people should collect “rocks, clubs, bricks, marble, iron, rope and lighters to use in September to fight back against state violence.”
“SYRIZA is aiming to create general unrest and turmoil in the country in September in order to derail it from its course toward exiting the crisis,” a statement from the conservative party noted, calling on leftist leader Alexis Tsipras to immediately take a stand and oust Karayiannis.No such luck. SYRIZA responded by accusing the New Democracy party of taking Karayiannis’s words out of context and trying to divert people’s attention from their day-to-day problems.
How twisted is that?

How can someone take this out of context?
What are they smoking at SYRIZA anyway?
Obviously HellasFrappe is not the only force that sees this for what it is. Immediately after the news about the wall posting was made public, a preliminary examination was ordered by a Prosecutor from the Athens First Instance Court.
