Tzanakopoulos did not deny that "some of the lenders do not want the Left to be recorded as the political force that will get the country out of the supervision and they constantly come up with demands with political and not purely economic focus"

"The government will promote interventions to support the people of labour, multiply the initiatives with aim the strengthening of democracy and freedom and proceed to the restoration of the social state with the few resources at our disposal" underlined the government spokesman.

On the negotiation, Tzanakopoulos referred to "a compromise based on mutual concessions... a manageable compromise, which may open the way for the exit from the programme and the supervision" he said adding that "despite IMF's irrational demands" we are now "on the final stretch".

Finally, he reiterated the government's position that the measures will be implemented "only under the condition that at the end of the programme in the summer of 2018, the mid-term measures for the Greek debt will have been already activated".
