This is our first post of the new site KOLOTOUMBA.com dedicated to promises made by politicians that have gone the other way, hence kolotoumba (somersault in Greek).

Here is what Mr. Papadimoulis, member of the European Parliament for SYRIZA, had declared in 2012 regarding SYRIZA’s possible cooperation with the right-wing party of the Independent Greeks (ANEL).

There is not a chance in a million to collaborate with Kamenos’ Party in a Government scheme, because the Independent Greeks Party (ANEL) belong to the right-wing “apartment building”.

Outcome: SYRIZA forms its first government with members of ANEL in the Cabinet.  ANEL chief, Panos Kammenos, is sworn as Minister of Defence.
