Given New Democracy’s insistence that any handouts must not jeopardise fiscal stabilisation, the government wants to draw a line between, “conservative” and “progressive” political forces

'The government should allow Greek Police to do its job, because it is being hindered by the incompetence and indifference of SYRIZA ministers,' ND said in a statement

Whenever Mr. Tsipras finds things difficult politically, and whenever merciless events reveal his nakedness, he marshals the rhetoric of hatred and division

The last thing that the government must do is shut itself in its own microcosm – of cabinet reshuffles and of the announcement of fiscal measures at the Thessaloniki International Fair
