AMNA--New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras lashed out at the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) party, and outlined the wager of the new elections on June 17, addressing a meeting of his parliamentary group on Thursday just before the parliament that emerged from the May 6 general elections was sworn in.
Samaras warned that there can be no laxness, that "the battle has become, which we will wage with faith and love for the country, a front of determined Greeks".amna
"We will win this battle with unanimity in our positions and contact with the party so that there will be a uniform word against the slogans of populism," he added.
Samaras said his party did everything it could to avoid new elections, noting that "the battle concerns whether Greece will remain in Europe as Europe changes, or whether we will find ourselves out of Europe".
