Alt. Def. Minister Isichos says his resignation is 'at PM's disposal'
Alternate Defence Minister Kostas Isichos said his resignation from the cabinet was "at the prime minister's disposal" after his 'no' vote in Parliament in the early hours of Thursday morning, contrary to the government line.
Speaking on the private television channel ANT1, he said that SYRIZA's Parliamentary Group has the "self-awareness, experience and culture to contain differentness" at a crucial time for the country and for the people.
"In this sense, I say that I am at the prime minister's disposal as regards my place in the government but it is self-evident that this government has my whole-hearted support in following the programme that is compatible with its commitments."
He underlined that Tsipras' government can count on his vote of confidence whenever this is needed, while noting that an MP's conscience "does not only express himself but also the collective conscience of all those that have fought against the memorandums all these years."
