Greek main opposition New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras lashed out at the government on Saturday, saying it has torn down “all we had built over 2.5 years.”
Samaras deplored the reappearance of hoodie-wearing rioters, protest occupations of public buildings, “illegal immigrants everywhere,” incidents and even contact with terrorists.
“However, a country that in addition to its economic problems also has citizens living in insecurity and fear cannot get ahead nor stand firmly on its feet,” he stressed.
Replying to the criticism, Greek government spokesman Gavriil Sakellaridis accused Samaras of “once again investing in fear.”
“Trying to conceal the non-existence of any alternative proposal apart from the Memorandum, he chooses to resort to his known far-right rants,” Sakellaridis said, adding that “Greek society and democracy are not frightened but need a more serious main opposition.”
