The Minister of Labor Panos Skourletis estimated that there will either be early general elections within 2015, or a special purpose government may be formed.
Mr. Skourletis, who appeared on ERT, argued that the government’s majority in Parliament was a stake and as such, either general elections would be called later in the year, or a special purpose government would be formed, with the support of the opposition parties, in order to implement the agreement.
“Europe is punishing us. We are not trying to make the deal look better, we are clearly saying it: this agreement does not represent us. I cannot easily accuse anyone who cannot agree to this agreement” he noted, before calling all government MPs who voted against Friday’s measures in parliament to resign.
When asked about the consequences of a possible ‘Grexit’, the Labor Minister noted that the Greek people are inevitably being forced into a violent impoverization, the greatest ever experienced by any people, while underlined that geopolitical issues may arise.
