Samaras: Gov't has fooled society

The SYRIZA-ANEL government has fooled Greek society and the nation is now facing a dead end, main opposition leader Antonis Samaras told MEGA Tv on Wednesday.

     “We’re at a dead end; the government has fooled society. At this point it has to clash either with our creditors, or with itself,” the leader of New Democracy said.

According to him, the people’s mandate was to avoid a Grexit, but that uncertainty has returned after the elections.

     “If the government doesn’t pay what it owes to the ECB and the IMF the possibility of a Grexit returns,” he said.

The leader of the conservative party slammed the government on a number of issues, including the economy, migration, public order and especially on the way it handled the issue of convicted terrorist Savvas Xiros, noting that it jeopardized Greece’s relations with the United States which is the only power supporting the country in its negotiations with its lenders.

Moreover, he also said that since the February 20 agreement, the government has not tabled any proposals.
