ND, Central Union to participate in leaders' meeting; KKE, PASOK say no
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras spoke on the phone with the interim leader of New Democracy (ND) Ioannis Plakiotakis in order to inform him on the meeting that is expected to take place on Saturday, at 12:00.

"Tsipras, despite the fresh popular mandate, has declared itself unable to govern and implement the fake pre-election promises" and clarified that New Democracy, as a serious and responsible political force will meet its institutional role and attend the political leaders meeting on Saturday.

Communist party (KKE) secretary general Dimitris Koutsoumbas will not participate in the political leaders meeting, according to sources.

On the other hand, the leader of the Centrists Union Vassilis Leventis has reportedly replied positively to the call.

"I will not participate in a meeting on the social security system," PASOK leader Fofi Gennimata noted. According to party's sources, Gennimmata has made clear that she totally disagrees with the agenda of the meeting and especially the issue of the social security system.
