“I pledge to respect full program of the party which won the elections.” So the prime minister greek Alexis Tsipras began his keynote speech to the Parliament in Athens. The new leader of Athens, on Tuesday will collect the vote of confidence, then reassures the countrymen on the fact that it will not give in to “ blackmail ” the other Eurozone countries, led by Germany, who ask him to to back down on the most important – and costly – the program of Thessaloniki, as the increase in the minimum wage . “The road to the reconstruction of our country will be long but it will make our dream Actually,” continued the number one SYRIZA addressing the deputies. “We will build a Greece economically independent and partner at the same level in the European Union and the eurozone.”

On the contrary, calls for a new agreement-bridge with lenders until June to renegotiate its debt. Greece wants a sustainable agreement and, to be honest, I’m sure we reach it. ” “In the negotiations – he added – there are not only the technocrats , but also other factors. And these are the greek people and other peoples of Europe “
Launch commission of inquiry on the memorandum,” Samaras has made the country blackmail “ – As for the memorandum, Tsipras announced the forthcoming establishment of a parliamentary committee of inquiry, “not to make claims on the document but to let justice prevail.” The thesis of the new government is that the predecessor Antonis Samaras has deliberately wanted to “leave behind scorched earth”, “make Greece blackmail and to derail the new government. For this he asked the extension of the aid program for only two months and not six as he could do. “
The horizon of the government in 20 tweets – In less than two hours, the official Twitter profile of the young prime minister appeared more than twenty messages with the key phrases of the speech but also further clarification and “chirps” direct to Greek nationals: “It ‘s impossible to serve the debt if our partners insist on ‘ austerity . Need a negotiated honest that does not condemn the Greek economy and society in a recession without end. ” And again: “Austerity has not only depleted our people but deprived of the right of choose “. “A new social contract with Europe is necessary not only to save the company but also to stop deflation and recession,” he also wrote the staff of Tsipras.

They will also be restored to their collective labor agreements and minimum taxable annual 12 thousand euro under which you do not pay taxes. With regard to social security, Tsipras has ruled out further cuts to the pension and increases in the retirement age. “The first priority of this government is addressing the major wounds of the bailout, face the humanitarian crisis as we had promised to do before the election.”

Decrease of 40% also police dedicated to the safety of the building. Also as part of measures to reduce the running , the state television New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television will be reorganized from scratch.
Task Force Ministerial against tax evasion – On the front of the fight against widespread evasion tax, “put in motion a mechanism of control to monitor the lists of the evaders “. A special Task Force of the Finance Ministry led by Varoufakis investigate the great escape in Liecthenstein, on the infamous list Lagarde – a list of 2 thousand illustrious Greek evaders who have transferred 25 billion of euro in Switzerland – and on other lists of Greek nationals who have laundered money abroad. Approximately promised tax relief, Tsipras announced the abolition of the property tax (the Enfia) and replacing it with a law that will put in the viewfinder only great property property.
