Opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Sokratis Famellos on Tuesday said that the PASOK and New Left parties were "failing to rise to the occasion", adding that they are not meeting the demands of the citizens.
Speaking to MEGA TV, Famellos said that the majority of Greeks want the parties to reach an agreement so there are solutions against Mitsotakis' government. "SYRIZA took an initiative and we said we are ready to discuss, we presented a package of 10+1 proposals but PASOK and New Left did not rise to the occasion, there was a refusal or delay in mounting a progressive response."
He also referred to the issue of high prices ahead of the Easter holiday, stating that "the small pay increases announced by the government do not match the real cost of living.
"Even middle-income citizens are struggling and can't make ends meet.... The high cost of living eats up the small increases in salaries [announced by the government]."
