New Democracy will do 'whatever it takes' to prevent SYRIZA win, says minister

New Democracy candidate and outgoing Health Minister Makis Voridis has insisted that his party would do “whatever it takes” to prevent SYRIZA winning the general elections on Sunday.

Speaking at a small gathering in Aspropyrgos, Voridis made reference to the 1946-49 Greek Civil War, fought by pro-government and pro-royalist forces against Communist rebels, in his opening remarks.
