Nea Dimocratia leader after meeting with Venizelos

11 May, 11:50

(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, 11 MAY - The proposal of an "ecumenical government" including pro-EU parties brought about by the leader of Democratic Left Fotis Kouvelis "is very similar to ours and should be taken in due consideration." To sum up, this is what the leader of Nea Dimocratia Antonis Samaras stated today, while he was talking with the members of his party's parliamentary group about the meeting with Pasok leader Evanghelos Venizelos which took place earlier today. Yesterday, Venizelos started to carry out negotiations aimed at forming a new government.

Kouvelis' proposal, Samaras added, "is similar to ours, because, among other things, it is based on three main points: Greece's permanence in the European Union, the revision of the Memorandum and participation in the government of Syriza (Coalition of the Left)", led by Alexis Tsipras. However, Samaras concluded by saying that it's about time for Syriza to accept its responsibilities if it aims at being part of the government.
