Zoe: Tsipras should have asked for another mandate before he signed memorandum
Combative Parliament President Zoe Konstantopoulou, now days away from the end of her tenure due to snap elections, launched into a stinging attack against her former SYRIZA comrades during an appearance in a TV newscast on Thursday.
“It would have been honorable for him (former PM Alexis Tsipras) to have asked for the Greek people’s mandate before he voted for the memorandum”.

Combative Parliament President Zoe Konstantopoulou on Saturday mostly confirmed her split from radical leftist SYRIZA, the ruling party in the moribund coalition Greek government, during a meeting with Panagiotis Lafazanis, who has emerged as the leader of an anti-bailout and far-left party from the SYRIZA breakup.
