Main opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday that Greece should take lessons from Cyprus on how to correctly implement the measures of its bailout program, following a meeting with the leader of the Democratic Rally party, Averof Neofytou, in Nicosia.
“It’s a particularly important day for Cyprus, as today’s Eurogroup will confirm the country’s exit from the memorandum after three years of systematic effort,” Mitsotakis said in joint statements to the press.
He continued to say that, unlike Cyprus, Greece “is still in the grip of a third program, from which it is not expected to come out soon,” adding that it is therefore “extremely important to take lessons from Cyprus and see what our Cypriot brothers did correctly and most importantly, how they implemented consistently a program by telling the truth to people, how they created a bipartisan consensus on necessary reforms and how they achieved fiscal consolidation without increasing taxes.”
