The Prime Minister’s address on Wednesday unfortunately revealed that he does not realize his responsibilities as to where he is leading the country and the people with his choices. When thousands of pensioners were queuing up in desperation to withdraw a few euros from their pension, instead of apologizing, Mr. Tsipras trying to pass on the liability to the foreigners for the tragedy we are experiencing.
Mr. Prime Minister, understand that country is technically and substantially bankrupt due to your mistakes and your decisions. It is simply a matter of time until all bankruptcy procedures are activated, if you carry on acting like everything is normal.
Mr. Prime Minister, realize that you cannot lead the people to a divisive referendum, because you cannot or will not assume your responsibilities. Stop deceiving the people, calling them to answer a question they have already answered, but dare not admit. In your last letter you are openly asking for a third bailout, accepting almost all of Juncker’s proposals, at a time when you are calling the people to reject them so that you are in a better position to negotiate.
Mr. Prime Minister, thanks to your policy and negotiation tactics, you managed to lead the country to a catastrophic situation with the banks shut, the economy dad and the people agonizing about what to expect. You promise that the situation will be temporary and will quickly improve, when you are well aware that the day after the referendum may result in a situation from which there is no return.
Mr. Prime Minister, you insist that on Monday you may be in better position to negotiate with the Europeans, when you are well aware that you have no credibility and that a possible “No” – as everyone has warned, enemies and former friends alike – is a step towards leaving the euro.
Mr. Prime Minister, you promised the people hope and you led them to despair and hopelessness. Return to reality and understand the condition the country is in and listen to the desperate cries of the people. Time is running out and with it the few opportunities you have left to demonstrate that you are a responsible leader who will put the country and people’s interests above everything.
TO VIMA
