[01] New Democracy will abolish law on TV licences, its parliamentary spokesman saysNew Democracy will abolish the law on TV licences even if the State of Council does not cancel the tender, main opposition parliamentary spokesman Nikos Dendias said in an interview with Agora newspaper."Our position does not change. Even if the State of Council does not cancel the tender - which is highly unlikely - the law on TV licences will be abolished," he said. Dendias disputed the government's optimism on the state of the economy, noting that "the government follows a policy mix which is impossible to lead, even in the medium term, to an improvement of the economic situation." On bad loans, he estimated that there was room for negotiation to avoid their transfer to funds. Regarding the debt, he said that no serious discussion can be made before the German elections adding that the debt relief issue was included in the Eurogroup resolutions of 27/11/2012. [02] Kouvelis sees Tsipras' call for cooperation positiveิhe head of the Unifying Movement of the European Left Fotis Kouvelis considered the invitation of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for cooperation of the forces of the broader Left positive."We ought to assist the effort for change in Europe and recovery of the country," Kouvelis said in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA). Moreover, he stressed the need for rallying as many progressive reformist forces as possible and overcoming the differences of the past. Kouvelis underlined that the SYRIZA government took the responsibility to take the country out of the crisis and the memoranda. He also said that the economy stabilises and has been gradually recovering while stressing the importance of fair growth. Focus should be given on weaker citizens that have been affected by the crisis, he noted. Referring to the refugee issue, he said that Europe needs to deal with it in a unified and organised way as well as with commonly accepted solutions and not accept unilateral actions. The full interview is available in Greek at ANA's website. Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
