Gabriel Sakellarides

The Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) is readying its new government following the party’s recent election triumph – for the second time this year after its first election win on January 25.

Government spokesman Gabriel Sakellarides indirectly verified rumors of new taxation, stressing that they will be characterized by social justice and will be based on development. He stressed that people who have paid for the crisis all these years will not be the ones paying these taxes.

Liquidity and the 2-billion euro “black hole” in the primary surplus were tabled in the meeting between Alexis Tsipras and Yanis Varoufakis in Maximos Mansion.

“There is absolutely no problem with liquidity” stated the PM right after his meeting with the FinMin, Euclid Tsakalotos and Gabriel Sakellarides.

The ‘marathon’ discussion of the government council included subjects such as the Eurogroup decision of Friday, the possibilities it entails, as well as the list of reforms to be sent by the government on Monday.
