Tsipras: Main parties 'covering for each other'

Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras dismissed changes made by the government to laws for prosecuting ministers, saying that the changes were mere window dressing and did not essentially change anything. 
 
"The law on the responsibility of ministers is in reality a law for protecting ministers and did not just fall out of the sky. It is a construct, a creation of Pasok and New Democracy, like the articles in the Constitution that, unless they are revised, do not allow any essential modification of this law," he stressed. 
 
He called for an "end to the hypocrisy" saying that those responsible for the law had acted to conceal from the Greek people just how many billions of euros had been directed into party coffers and into the pockets of their friends and party functionaries.
