Newsroom

The main dilemma of the upcoming general elections is if the country will move on with safety and with all the Greeks or it will risk its return to the fiscal derailment and IMF's supervision, said Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras during his visit on Saturday to the island of Rhodes.

On the result of the euroelections, Tsipras said that after three difficult years, he understands the people's displeasure that wanted to send a message adding that he is examining the mistakes and failures. However, he said that the character of the national elections is totally different from the euroelections and explained that the character of the national elections exceeds the ideological lines expressed in the euroelections and has to do with the next day for Greece, for the people and for the next generation.

"The main dilemma, independent even from the parties' proposals, refers to the country's future" he said adding that "on July 7 the ballot will be empty and it is us who will fill it".
