Wednesday (23/11/2016) to the members of SYRIZA, for the first time the prime minister has linked publicly to any failure of negotiation with the possibility of recourse to the polls.
The aversion of the prime minister, in his speech to the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA, put it on object on the table and that the possibility, even in an indirect way.
“In a possible failure of negotiations and of the second assessment, which may result in the elections, as earnestly requested by the To.D., such a possibility would be a perfect disaster for the economy”, said mr Tsipras, admitting in veiled terms that the deadlock in discussions with the lenders that may trigger rapid political developments.
A statement, in fact, the Finance minister, Euclid Τσακαλώτου came to strengthen the relevant scenarios. When asked (by the WSJ) if SYRIZA will launch a call for elections, he replied that “I don’t see SYRIZA goes to elections in 2017, unless out the worst case scenario for the debt and the recovery”.
And that’s the truth: as long As you don’t seem to end up in lenders, and partners in an agreement, the pending issue remains, the evaluation is delayed and everything is waiting for the Athens can’t move on.
Alexis Tsipras expressed the assessment that the differences can be bridged, but reiterated the unyielding attitude of the government especially in the workplace. The government shows, also, that there can be no agreement, since this involves new measures.
All of this practically means that in the Process of examining the idea of a plan b, an alternative solution i.e. in the case that the agreement which will be offered in Athens – if and when it is finally formed from the part of the lenders – is not a manageable social and political and is considered extremely painful.
This scenario goes by the name of… escape!
On the substance, it is confirmed that mr Tsipras is considering most seriously the scenario of a “disorderly flight” through early elections?
