[01] Tsipras: 'We have to go to early elections'ANA-MPA -- Main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) president Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday blamed Prime Minister Antonis Samaras for the atmosphere of tension, scare-mongering and destabilisation that had been created.Addressing his party's Political Secretariat, Tsipras said that "the government leads the country to an unprecedented dead end" and underlined the need for early elections. He said that "after the Paris fiasco and the Berlin fiasco now is the turn of the Washington fiasco to confirm the virtual reality of the 'success story' and reveal the dramatic failure of the Samaras government". Tsipras said that he asked the prime minister in parliament "to stop the tension escalation plans and the destabilisation efforts and called for elections held in a coordinated and orderly manner". "Instead, the prime minister preferred to extend the tension and the destabilisation scare tactics for another four months," Tsipras said. He also added that government officials are bringing back scenarios that place people's bank savings at risk and expressed certainty that "the government effort to undermine SYRIZA will not destabilise the country".
