The announcements made by European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi on Thursday were characterized by Greece’s main opposition SYRIZA as “an important decision that will be utilized by the next Greek government for the country’s benefit.”
“All those who spread fear and panic are debunked by Draghi’s statements,” SYRIZA said, adding that “the ECB President announcement on the launch of a government bond-buying program responded to the extremely restrictive policies by being in favor of quantitative easing and keeping a distance from the extreme neo-liberal voices, among which, unfortunately, is that of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.”
“Everybody knows what moves were made by the outgoing Prime Minister,” SYRIZA underlined, pointing out that Samaras had opposed quantitative easing instead of supporting it, in alliance with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
SYRIZA said it was worth noting that Samaras had intensified his scaremongering propaganda in recent days, anticipating that his imminent election defeat would be less extensive this way.
