Economou:The gov't guarantees democratic normality and Greece's steady orientation

Government spokesperson Yiannis Economou opening his briefing to the press on Thursday by noting that "in February 2015 (main opposition SYRIZA leader) Alexis Tsipras, during the presentation of the programme of his first government, said in the Greek parliament that "we are every word of the country's Constitution". As I have said before, those who choose to lie need a good memory so as to remember what they have said, because the citizens remember and remember very well." 
He also referred to the "triggering of scandals" to eliminate political opponents.  
"We wonder whether Mr. Tsipras knows even an ounce of history," Economou said, adding: "Doesn't he know that all those who harmed democracy over the course of our political history have started with arguments of deviation and an attack on parliamentarianism in an attempt to delegitimise the operation of parliament?".
He also said that Tsipras will remain "desperately alone" in the downhill path and the downward slide he has chosen, noting that the government ensures and guarantees democratic normality and Greece's steady orientation.
