Ik sluit mijn bijdrage aan dit EU-verkiezingstopic inzake Griekenland af met de eerste reactie van de duidelijke overwinnaar Alexis Tsipras van SYRIZA na zijn gesprek van hedenmiddag met de hoogste staatsfunctionaris van GR:
"13:50 Emerging from a meeting with President Karolos Papoulias, Syriza leader Alexis Tsirpas reiterates his call for national elections in Greece. He said the election is an historical political upset, has produced new power balances, and his party has a clear 4-point lead over New Democracy. He said the government parties have lost a combined 11 points since 2012, and this would translate into 94 MPs in elections, down from the 162 elected in June 2012. He said a "great disharmony" exists between the popular will and the parliamentary make up, meaning parliament has no legitimacy to pass new measures or elect a new president in February.
Basically, Tsipras is saying that Greece has a democratic anomaly. He is demanding "elections to restore democratic normalcy in an organised and smooth way". The government will now be under perpetual opposition oversight, a hostage to the opposition, from which it will need approval for all major decisions.
"In political and in life, you have to know how to win and lose," he said.
He said Samaras should not not proceed with new measures, should not appoint the new governor of the central Bank of Greece or Greece's new European commissioner, or privatise beaches or environmentally sensitive areas without Syriza's approval."
