Potami party criticises SYRIZA for using state resources to promote 'no' vote
The opposition Potami party on Thursday denounced ruling coalition leader SYRIZA for "using the Greek state as an undisguised propaganda machine" in order to promote a 'no' vote in Sunday's referendum.
"The government, in a state of absolute panic, does not hesitate to convert public administration that is paid for by all tax payers into its 'fief' and recruiting it in favour of a 'no' [vote]. This is a typical example of the totalitarian mindset of those in power," a Potami announcement said.
Among others, it criticised the use of the finance ministry's amphitheatre for a pro 'no' rally, with Alternate Minister for Adminsitrative Reform George Katrougalos as main speaker, a call by the General Secretary for Gender Equality Fotini Kouvela at a seminar partly funded by the NSRF to vote 'no', as well as the official state website for the referendum using state funding.
