Gov't slams opposition parties for stance on parallel programme, walkout from Parliament
Government sources on Wednesday strongly criticised the main opposition New Democracy party, as well as PASOK and Potami, for their stance on several economic policy issues and for walking out of Parliament during the committee debate on the government's 'Parallel Programme'.
"It is now clear...that they are vying for the role of the 'domestic troika' and that they refuse to discuss anything apart from memorandums and austerity," the sources said.
Earlier, sources in the government had pointed to an interview given by European Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis to a German news agency and his references to a "European solution to the Greek programme" and said this showed up the Greek opposition parties for the stance they had adopted and their refusal to support the government.
