SYRIZA MP Kostas Lapavitsas argued that the memorandum of understanding should not be referred to as an «agreement” merely to avoid using a “bad word”, in a Tuesday morning interview for Mega Channel.
The MP noted that “we had an agreement on the 21st of July, now we have a memorandum” and commented that the negotiation procedures were “incredible”, adding that he cannot even describe them.
When asked about how intends to vote in Parliament, Mr. Lapavitsas stated that he will first carefully read what will be publicized and evaluate it. Mr. Lapavitsas stressed that he will not vote for something that he has not read.
Later on he explained that his party was elected based on its anti-bailout rhetoric and program. The new austerity measures and bailout agreement, according to the SYRIZA MP, follow the same approach as the measures that have ruined Greece for the past five years.
