The opposition leader, Antonis Samaras, from the New Democracy Party supports the Greek governments agenda.
The greeks need another disbursement from the Eurozone, this time 8 Billion of euros. The Eurozone is not willing to give the money to greece unless they recieve a written letter in which the opposition signs and agrees the reforms. This is a precautionary measure that the Eurozone is taking. In February of next year elecetions will be held in Greece and the Eurozone doesn't want a change in its economical agenda in the case of a change of government.
Antonis Samaras wrote and signed a letter adressed to European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, IMF head Christine Lagarde, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi and Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the Eurogroup of euro-zone finance ministers. In the letter he said: The Party "Fully supports the targets of fiscal adjustments". Is this cooperation between parties in Greece or is it just because he wants the money for when he becomes everything would be easier? We can see it from two different point of views: Antonis Samaras has a main objective to help the Greeks, and the way is to cooperate with the opposition. The other is that Mr. Samaras knows that if they dont went that support of the Eurozone my Mid-December Greece will have no money, and in February when he becomes Prime minister it would be much harder to manage.
What I see is a combination of both, he wants a brighter futuer for Greece but also for him. Now he is leading the opposition and he seems to be the favourite of the greeks for February and he is also cooperating with other oppositors and the Greek Central Bank to "step up the pace of reforms".
This image of a cooperation among opposit parties we would have never seen it unless we live a delicate situation. I would like to leave a question for you to think. Cooperation among parties are only in rare cases when there is a extreme situation, should the cooperation among parties be constant?
