If there is a political scandal – or at least weighty political responsibility – it involves mainly the 2004-2009 period of the Karamanlis administration which SYRIZA did not wish to investigate

The government is trying to keep the case in the news as a scandal even though it appears to be the biggest case of scandal-mongering of the last years.

This situation allows the government and media which have been assigned the role of publishing leaks to continue their scandal-mongering and political exploitation of a judicial case.

The government of Mr Tsipras wanted To Vima and Ta Nea as propaganda tools in its hands, the booty and symbol of occupation of the broader democratic part of the political spectrum.

Tsipras again defended his move to introduce direct proportional representation, as well as SYRIZA’s proposal for popular election of the President of the Republic when there is a deadlock in Parliament.

In his address to his parliamentary group yesterday, the Prime Minister demonstrated that the only policy that he serves faithfully is that of division and polarisation.

Bravado, threats, and targeted attacks can no longer shore up the morale even of SYRIZA’s narrow party base.

The government has no right just for the sake of keeping its hope alive to marshal means that undermine the smooth functioning of democracy.

The government’s room for manoeuvre is limited if it wants to receive a tranche of about one billion euros from the profits of eurozone central banks on Greek bonds.

With the same ease that Mr. Tsipras governed with the populist right and still relies on it he now sees his coming electoral defeat and is trying to transform himself into a radical socialist.

'The unheard of effort of Minister Pavlos Polakis to influence the administration of the Bank of Greece and me personally regarding how we carry out our duties constitutes a flagrant institutional aberration.'

'The sooner the general election is held the better, so that this degenerate situation which does not benefit the country and harms Greeks can end,' said ND's spokesperson

Tsipras scraps parliamentary rules change following charges from the opposition and the press that he is being blackmailed by his ex-junior coalition partner.

Political uncertainty predominates, resulting in the entrapment of and threat to the economy, as Mr. Tsipras would concede.

Kotzias said a mudslinging campaign has been unleashed against  him and against the responsibility of a politician to resign when he disagrees.
