Stavros Theodorakis

Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis met with centrist Potami (River) leader Stavros Theodorakis at the government headquarters, Maximos Mansion, at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Theodorakis said that he discussed all possible scenarios regarding the negotiations with Greece’s international creditors.

Fofi Gennimata took over as the first female leader in PASOK?s history on Monday after comfortably seeing off her two male competitors to secure the presidency of the beleaguered Socialist party.

Opposition leaders reacted to Sunday’s abrupt end of negotiations in Brussels between the Greek government and creditors, with New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras referring to a “threat” entailed with a Eurozone exit and a return to a national currency.

Political party leaders took turns at Parliament’s podium on Friday for an off-the-agenda session on the “Greek issue”, with centrist Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis addressing the legislature after PM Alexis Tsipras and main opposition leader Antonis Samaras.

Theodorakis called for the government to deal with its “internal opposition” and seek a national consensus.

“Potami” party does not accept many of the things that seem to be requested, or are actually requested, by lenders according to party leader Stavros Theodorakis. Mr. Theodorakis requested that the Greek people and the political world be filled in on what the Greek government is aiming for. On the other hand “the Greek government must tell us what it’s asking of the Europeans.

To Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis said Thursday that his party would back any agreement between the government and the institutions, while PASOK chief Evangelos Venizelos suggested that PASOK would be willing to be part of the coalition responsible for implementing this deal.

Greece's fourth-largest party, pro-EU To Potami, on Thursday pledged to back a new deal between the country and its creditors that could face a rocky ride through parliament.

"Whichever agreement comes to parliament, all To Potami lawmakers will vote for it, without haggling, because the country needs oxygen," party leader Stavros Theodorakis told Skai TV.

Opposition party leaders in Greece heaped more criticism on the ruling radical leftist SYRIZA government over the weekend, as the latter was holding a “soul-searching” central committee meeting with opinions vacillating between “pain compromises” with creditors, to uncompromising “rift”.

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has raised a fresh furore by telling a newspaper that he taped a confidential meeting of eurozone finance ministers, drawing criticism that he was undermining Greece's efforts to secure aid from lenders.

The Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) is 21% ahead of the main conservative opposition party according to an opinion poll by Macedonia University on behalf of SKAI TV measuring voting intent.
