The leader of New Democracy (ND) Antonis Samaras on Thursday said an agreement has to be sealed to ensure Greece’s funding and economic recovery, following a meeting of the European People’s Party (EPP) in Riga, Latvia.
“An agreement, in other words, which will safeguard reforms and continue privatisations,” Samaras said, adding that “it’s not possible to rebuild the vast state that went bankrupt and to fund it with new taxes which cripple the economy.”
He also said Greece needs a growth agreement and a change of policy to exit “the dead end created by the government and the daily lies of the government propaganda”.
