elections
In
yesterday's interview to the journalist, Sophia Papaioannou, Alexis
Tsipras said that he is open to coalitions after the snap elections,
but he excluded to cooperate with the 'old political system' as he
said.
'If we
have 151 MPs we will seek cooperation, as it happened with the
Independent Greeks and Panos Kammenos. I'm not going to bring from
the window all those who the people threw from the door on January
25th. I can't cooperate with Meimarakis' party [New Democracy], nor
with PASOK or Mr. Theodorakis' party [River], which, in my opinion,
does not represent something new', Tsipras said.
Obviously
Tsipras tried to exorcise the plans of the Brussels-Berlin axis, according to which, SYRIZA
will form coalition with neoliberal parties like River. However, the
first phase of the plan succeeded through the split o SYRIZA. Under
current circumstances, a probable scenario would be that SYRIZA may
win the elections marginally and the Independent Greeks stay out of
the new parliament. What will Tsipras do then? He implied that he is
not willing to cooperate with Popular Unity, the new party of his
former partner in SYRIZA, Panagiotis Lafazanis. What are his options
then?
