For the Turkish provocation, he reiterated his position that an arms embargo should be imposed on its neighbor from Europe.
“This will be the first summer that the Greek will feel, because of the accuracy, a stranger in his place for a few days of summer vacation. The cost of living is unbearable in terms of everyday life, even summer vacations ” stressed the President of PASOK-Movement for Change Nikos Androulakisopening the meeting of the Political Council.
“Very often in matters of Energy, Mr. Mitsotakis accuses Europe of operating like a slow-moving ship and of not being able to wait any longer. At the same time, however, it refuses to take measures that the European Commission itself has proposed and that could help consumers in this difficult time. The electricity retail ceiling we are proposing is a European solution as it is included in the European Commission toolkit and does not need to be negotiated. “Contrary to the Government’s intervention in the wholesale, the cost of the solution is not clear, nor is the benefit to the citizen.” underlined Mr. Androulakis and added about Fuel Pass: “With Greece having the third highest price of gasoline in the European Union and the second lowest GDP in terms of purchasing power, the measures announced by the government for fuel pass 2 will evaporate in the coming weeks, as gasoline will go to 3 euros . It is indicative that in the first fuel pass the price of simple unleaded was at 2,075, while today the average nationwide price has exceeded 2.42 euros “. The President of PASOK-Movement for Change regarding the latest government bill for energy also noted that “the government with an amendment removes the safeguards that PASOK had introduced in the sale of important infrastructure. Procedures that reduce the control by the Independent Authorities cannot be followed “.
For the political climate that has been formed and prolonged ecology Mr. Androulakis commented:
“The Prime Minister, while in the previous period he made clear positions on the exhaustion of the four years, with the leaks from the Maximos Palace and the public interventions of the Ministers have created the feeling that we are going to early elections. The alibis they use to make the turn have no value. They have been downloading pencils for a long time. There is no government work. We are not fortune tellers, nor will we make paperwork about when the elections will take place. We are preparing for elections and we will be ready whenever they happen. It is inconceivable that the Prime Minister, on the one hand, tries to play it institutional by saying that he wants to run out of four years and, on the other hand, to prepare for elections. “It will be done”, “I want” was done very easily. This proves the inconsistency and a deep tactics in a particularly critical period for our national issues and for the economy. “.
Referring to the intensifying Turkish provocationthe President of PASOK-Movement for Movement stressed that a European plan is needed to prevent and not to appease, noting the arms embargo to the neighboring country. “Turkey is struggling to put words into resolutions in every forum it participates in, thus building a policy of revision. Greek foreign policy cannot become a field for some public relations to do in Brussels. I have not heard from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Tsipras, who is participating in a forum in which our party also participates, that they have a comprehensive strategy on how Europe will get a deterrent plan in relation to the appeasement plan. that has today. That is why from the beginning we asked for a council of political leaders to have this common strategy. “It is impossible not to fight in every resolution of the European Parliament, the European Council, NATO that there are no positions that will put pressure on Turkey to change its strategy.”
