The deal, although averting Athens’ seemingly imminent exit from the currency union, forces Greece to adopt a series of unpopular austerity measures in exchange for a third financial package.
"We are not going to raise the question of replacing the Prime Minister. Even if there are changes in the cabinet, the Greek people voted for the Prime Minister, and he has to stay," George Vlahos said.
Commenting on the possibility of holding snap parliamentary elections in the event that lawmakers reject this week’s bailout deal later in the day, Vlahos expressed hope for "normalization" to avert such a route.
"Elections do not always bring resolution to problems. We need to face the problems, and the Greek people voted for the Government and the Parliament to face them," the opposition lawmaker told Sputnik.
