President of New Democracy party Vangelis Meimarakis received a mandate to form a government by the President of the Hellenic Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos, stressing that he will make use of it.

In a short dialogue of the two men before the cameras, Meimarakis said he would immediately request a meeting from the president of the Greek parliament to investigate whether there is trust in whatever form of government.

“We will examine whether there is tolerance or trust for the setting of a government with another member of SYRIZA as Prime Minister, since Tsipras does not want to”, he said.

He also announced that he will request a meeting with the President of PASOK Fofi Genimmata.

“Elections do not help the country”, he said and stressed that the possibility of them serving other agendas and political interests is under examination.
