Tsipras to EU, European model be valid for Greece
Pm sent a letter to Tusk and Juncker before Rome summit
24 March, 10:22"In these 60 years, the Eu consolidated achievements that aim towards the protection of the fundamental rights of the peoples of Europe, including the right to employment and social protection. This right is constrained in my country. Greece has been in programs of economic adjustment for the last 7 years, in the name of which a situation of exception from our common European acquis, has been implicitly imposed", Tsipras affirmed. Greek Pm added that "we fully respect the commitments we undertook for the necessary budgetary adjustment and the restructuring of the economy and the labour market. Nevertheless, we cannot understand demands that go beyond these commitments. This demand leads to an unjustified delay of the conclusion of the second review of the Greek economic program. I ask for your support in order to protect, together, the right of Greece to return to the standards of the European social model". (ANSA).
