We are at the brink, DIKO spokesman, Fotis Fotiou stated today. “Either we take action or we collapse. Unless we want to be in the position of Greece or Italy, under the most adverse economic conditions of the euro area”, he said within the framework of a press conference.

“It is not a scaremongering. Or a blackmail. It is the sad reality unfortunately that we have to face. The appeal to the bailout mechanism must not be an option. Otherwise, it will be too late”, he noted.

“It will be too late for the economy, too late for the people, too late for the country. Because in one month we will not decide for ourselves. Others will decide for us, without us”. He added.

“We urge the government, the political forces and the social partners once again to stand together on the occasion. Away from obsessions of the past, planning and petty politics, to draw together a comprehensive package that will get us out of the current impasse. And those measures should be immediate, effective and must give solutions to the structural problems that our economy faces”, he said.
