Tsipras remained steadfast in his controversial plan to hold a referendum on the bailout demands of creditors, as eurozone finance ministers discussed a request from Athens for new financial aid. During the televized address to the nation Tsipras said that anyone equating a no-vote with a return to the drachma is 'telling lies,' and repeated his call for people to vote against the measures.

Alex Tsipras’ Extremely CANDID First Interview With Greek Public Broadcaster Since The Banker’s Coup

Tsipras: Europe already changes

Submitted by: failedevolution.blogspot.gr

The Greek PM, Alexis Tsipras, in his first interview with the Greek Public Broadcaster (ERT) after the recent coup by the European financial dictatorship (EFD) against Greece.

Key points:

— The night of negotiations was a bad night for Europe, under conditions of blackmail.

— The stance by the negotiators was a stance which did not honor Europe.

— Our partners exhibited a vindictive stance but despite the tough measures the whole deal will secure Greece inside eurozone.

— Our intention was to support the most vulnerable social groups even with these tough measures.

— Europe can change despite today’s bleak picture.

— You can accuse me that I believed in the necessity of staying in the EU, but not that I lied.

— European partners had a hardened stance of revenge when I announced the referendum.

— In the European Parliament I realized how deeply the Europe is divided. The political conflict in Europe will be a well known fact soon.

— Many inside and outside Greece want this government to fall. Extreme conservative circles in Europe don’t want a government like ours with a different ideological orientation.

— Germany, Holland and some other countries wanted the IMF in the deal to pass it through their parliaments.

— I can’t say anything for sure before the signatures are sealed on the new agreement.

— The vision has been defeated for now, but history has many turns. Europe already changes. Financial Europe marked only a Pyrrhic victory against Greece.
