“The new democracy despises the memory of the Greek people,” the ruling party’s Movement for Change said in a statement in response.

“He thinks he can rewrite history with his statement. He believes that citizens are forgetting the huge responsibility of his party for the bankruptcy of the country, which Mr. Tsipras tried to “wash away,” said Harilou Trikoupi. And adds:

“He is trying to erase the great reforms of the PASOK government, which single-handedly against everyone – inside and outside Greece – supported the country. He seeks to cover up “Zappias”, the banners of the right-wing “anti-memorandum” and populism. He has been trying for months now to equate the Democratic Party with the failed government of SYRIZA, delusions and experiments.”

“They “forget” that they are the same at all times, along with SYRIZA on the shore of deceiving the people. If Mr. Mitsotakis does not remember them, let him ask Mrs. Bakoyannis. It is now clear that New Democracy and its President personally have factional and familial syndromes with PASOK. We wish them all the best and soon,” concludes PASOK.
