Communist Party leader Koutsoumbas slams government for imposing third memorandum
Communist Party leader Dimitris Koutsoumbas on Wednesday slammed the government for signing the third “barbaric” bailout, while noting the absence of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras from parliament, during a debate on the omnibus bill that includes the prior actions demanded by Greece’s lenders.
“From the slogan ‘there is money’ by [former PM] George Papandreou we arrived to the barbaric memorandum … of 2015. From the [government’s] Thessaloniki programme when [PM Alexis] Tsipras said ‘we’ll tear up the memorandums’ to the memorandum number three,” Koutsoumbas said, while noting Prime Minister’s Tsipras absence from parliament.
He also said that the people will pay the price for “Tsipras’ miserable memorandum” adding “unfortunately for you, the fairy tale of the tough, proud negotiation is over. No one is convinced.”
