Kammenos accuses Greek gov't of colluding with bankers

During an election rally in the northern city of Kozani at the weekend, the leader of the Independent Greeks (ANEL) party Panos Kammenos accused the Greek government of orchestrating a "rigged game" with the help of bankers, in an effort to terrorize voters in the forthcoming January 25th general elections. The accusations came right after Greek systemic banks requested access to the Emergency Liquidity Assistance-ELA facility.

The ANEL leader reiterated that about four months ago all four systemic Greek banks successfully passed the European banking stress tests, proving to be financially healthy.

     "What happened during these four months? Who lies and when do they lie?", wondered ANEL leader.

He noted that "it's the same government and [Athens] College gang, who in May 2012 threatened the Greek people that wages and pensions wouldn't be paid if they didn't get elected".
