President of SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras ruled out trying to form a government with another party if his faction did not win the May 21 elections.

“If SYRIZA comes first, we will have a progressive government.” “I say no to a government of losers,” he said. “I’m sure of it, we don’t buy groceries here. “Citizens should know that electoral victory is a necessary condition for progressive governance,” he stressed.

He added that the dilemma raised by PASOK-KINAL President Nikos Androulakis regarding the face of the Prime Minister would not exist if SYRIZA became the first party and a progressive government could be formed.

“When Mr. Mitsotakis talks about self-confidence, he means that he will go to the second and third tiers. However, I see that he is now turning around and saying that he will use the mandate,” added the President of SYRIZA. “We say that in all European countries there are cooperative governments,” he said in an interview with the STAR TV channel.

The President of SYRIZA also stated that he does not know what proportions will arise after the elections, and to what extent the support of Janis Varoufakis or even the KKE will be required.

For an amendment for the Casidiari party

Alexis Tsipras has sharply criticized the government for the new amendment for the Kasidiari party, pointing out that SYRIZA is not going to vote for it. “We do not consider the decision a second mistake,” he stressed.
