Negotiation and agreement are 'exclusive responsibility' of the government, ND says
The government is exclusively responsible for the negotiations and the final agreement that is signed with Greece's creditors, main opposition New Democracy spokesman Costas Karagounis stressed on Thursday.
"This is, in any case, confirmed by the joint announcement of the political party leaders," Karagounis pointed out, adding that ND was waiting to see the agreement first.
"Until now, we have seen cultivated optimism succeeded by disappointment many times," he said.
At the same time, the spokesman said that the national consensus was happening "officially and responsibly."
"Responsibly means without meaningless insinuations and pettiness, of the kind that the immoderate government partner is prone to," Karagounis clarified. If the prime minister wanted an agreement - which is something ND hopes for, he should first get the ministers that openly repudiate an agreement "in line," he added.
