Venizelos: No to Further Austerity Measures

”The presence of representatives from the Troika in Greece should be continued in order to avoid problems of communication”. Speaking to a press conference this evening, Greece’s Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos explained to reporters the decisions made concerning Greece’s public deficit at the European summit and ruled out any adoption by the government of further austerity measures.
”With the accord made yesterday,” Mr Venizelos said, ”liquidity for Greece’s banking system has been guaranteed,”.
The Minister went on to explain how the sixth tranche of eight billion euros will be paid before mid- November and he also attacked opposition parties for the stance they have taken on the agreement attained, speaking of ”national and political short-sightedness”. Mr Venizelos reaffirmed that Greece has to continue along its path of structural reforms. Asked whether the government was planning any fresh austerity measures’, Mr Venizelos categorically ruled them out.
”The people of Greece have already paid the price they had to pay: now we have to apply those measures enacted so far in a thorough way”.
