The government and the prime minister lied to the Greek society and his deputies, main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Vangelis Meimarakis told Parliament in the debate leading to the vote on the omnibus bill early on Thursday morning, while stressing that his party is the one to guarantee the country's European trajectory.

During debate on the bill related to prior actions demanded by Greece's lenders, Meimarakis clarified that although his party would vote for the bill, it would not agree to other issues, such as those of education or health.

The danger for the country has not passed, as Greece's lenders are expecting the next bill on Wednesday, this coming week, he said, and charged the government with blackmailing the opposition and with lack of courage to vote and apply the agreement.

On February 20 the government negotiated and signed that it would not take unilateral actions, Meimarakis said, and as for the Europeans' attitude, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' government was treated better than ND was in the last six months of 2014, while the prior administration's plan was better than the one presented now after six months of delay.
