Asked about the possibility of cooperating with other parties, the Minister of State stated that the government is claiming autonomy and that there is no room for political experimentation.
No more scripts early elections tried to put the Minister of State, George Gerapetritiswho although speaking to SKAI and the show “Unmatched”, said that the elections will be held at the end of four years, noted that the place can not bear to go to a pre-election period of one year.
«I’m afraid that this whole debate starts with a misconception. That we are all to some extent addicted to the rules of the political game being manipulated by all governments. That has changed. “The current government does not see the institutions as a pawn for its dominance in politics, for its own arrogant or influential attitude, but it sees it precisely as a constitutional framework.”he said.
And he pointed out that because there is this pervasive atmosphere about elections, there is one general poisoning of political thought not only of citizens, but also of politicians.
«When you hear every day that elections will take place, the biggest risk is to pass on to the collective subconscious that we will indeed go to the polls and have a long pre-election period. What the place can not stand is to go to a pre-election period of one year, because the conditions under which the political controversy takes place are toxic“, write down.
Asked about the possibility of cooperation with other parties, the Minister of State clarified that “we claim autonomy. Not out of political arrogance, but because we believe that we can offer to the country and above all we believe that the country needs a stable government. We can not go into a period of political experimentation. Stable governance means that there is a government that can have quick reflexes and can be cohesive».
However, if the people do not give autonomy to the government, Mr. Gerapetritis stated that what is required by the political ethics and the constitutional order will be done. «We will talk to those who may have a discussion about our program values. The prime minister said that he, who is the leader of the first party, will also be prime minister. At the second level, if there is no autonomy, there should be a programmatic agreement of principles. “write down.
We have worked out each scenario for Greek-Turkish
In front of Greek-Turkishthe Minister of State gave the assurance that the government is ready for any scenario.
“Our policy is a policy of principles and is not defined and influenced by inexpensive verbalisms. I do not want to make a prediction of how our neighbor will react and I will not bet on the neighbor’s threat. We process all scenarios. There is no scenario, from the mildest, that is, a simple rhetoric that raises the tone, to an offensive act on the field, which we have not worked out. I assure citizens that they must feel safe. Not because we are arrogant towards a powerful force, but because we are right on our side, we have an international alliance that turns against any form of revisionism. “stated characteristically.
He added that Greece, for its part seeks a quiet summer, without “rhetoric contests”, however, he stressed that “we are preparing and vigilant, but we believe in peace and it will serve”.
Reduction in fuel directly to the citizens
In terms in fuel aidthe announcements for which will be made next week, Mr. Gerapetritis stressed that it will be in the logic of targeted reduction. «The context is clear. It will not be a horizontal reduction in the price of fuel, but a targeted, immediate, aid to the citizens themselves to absorb part of the increase».
At the same time, he explained why the government is opposed to the reduction of fuel taxes, emphasizing that “When you make a horizontal reduction, it means that whoever has more consumption will have the greatest benefit.”
He clarified that the government wants to give a bigger dividend to the vulnerable and to reflect on the greater needs of the people.
“Instead of risking the budget, we maintain a stable fiscal mix and support those who really need it.”he mentioned characteristically.
