Conservative party accuses Tsipras of “sloppiness” in alleged letter to IMF

The main opposition conservative New Democracy (ND) party accused the government of being unreliable following a press report in a Greek newspaper, according to which Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is alleged to have sent a letter to the IMF, warning the Fund of Greece’s likely bankruptcy.

“This recital of unreliability, by which the government went from ‘I will pay’ to ‘I won’t pay’ and eventually ‘I’ll pay’ cancels out our negotiating position, proves the sloppiness and lack of planning with which Mr. Tsipras operates,” said party spokesman Costas Karagounis.

He also called on the government to immediately publish the letter sent to Greece’s creditorsas well as any replies the government received.
