The Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras argued that “we have submitted a realistic plan, we have made concessions” in the speech he delivered, shortly after arriving at the Ministry of Education, for the conclusion of the Panhellenic exams.

Greece knows the difference between a government that negotiates hard and one that simply approved the creditor demands” he added, underlining that “Greece and the Greek people are demanding justice”.

Furthermore PM Tsipras reported that by accepting the “realistic plan for exiting the crisis”, Greece’s European partners will “put an end to scenarios of a division in Europe” and “the decision lies with the political leadership of Europe”.

The dilemma is either a realistic prospect of exiting the crisis, or a prospect of division” and explained that his government’s goal is to give the Greek people a vision and dignity. Mr. Tsipras concluded that he was “confident” that the European political leaders would adopt a realist approach.
