There were journalists, married couples with children and residents of the alternative metropolitan area of Exarchia Square. The green party is strengthening its positions of a pro-European party, but like SYRIZA, it does not support the Memorandum of financial assistance. The main reason for not accepting the agreement for financial assistance is that Greece has agreed with the condition of having a primary budget surplus of within 4.5% for the next 20 years after the first stage of the recovery programme. "It has not been reached by any European Union country, and Greece could hardly achieve it," said the environmentalists and added that the signing of this contract ensures Greece’s exit from the euro area countries, because it cannot keep its promises.
Their motto is "We have to change ourselves to change Greece." They insist that the only way for the country to stand on its own feet is to return to production. "This can happen on a new sustainable basis", say environmentalists. They argue that Greece has enough resources and if it utilizes them effectively, its economic growth will recover very quickly. Environmentalists are adamant that the country has not reached the bottom only because of poor government in recent decades but also because of the lack of real opposition. They urged voters to give them an advantage to revive the Greek parliament and make it independent from the old opposition practices.
