Regarding Turkish provocation, Mr. Androulakis stated that: “Instead of having a policy that addresses Turkish provocation, Mr. Mitsotakis told NATO, adopting the Erdogan narrative on terrorism, that “we understand Turkey’s fears about terrorism ».
PASOK-KINAL’s president, Nikos Androulakis, called from Corfu for the regrouping of PASOK-KINAL voters, in order, as he said, “for the party to win the next national elections”, during his speech on Friday night in the “Garden of People”.
“Take the faction in your hands to make a PASOK open to society again, a PASOK popular movement, a PASOK that will struggle and fight every day for a better tomorrow. We have to make this PASOK, a party of social democracy, of democratic socialism that will be able to prove in every neighborhood, in every village with its political speech, that it has turned the page. So it is my goal that your children and grandchildren reorganize in the democratic party and like in 1974 we become the party of the younger generations. To come to the next parliamentary central elections, a choice of progress, consistency, a choice of dignity. Whenever the parliamentary elections are held, you can be sure that we will be winners” said the President of PASOK – KINAL to the gathered crowd.
Regarding Turkish provocation, Mr. Androulakis stated that: “Instead of having a policy that addresses Turkish provocation, Mr. Mitsotakis told NATO, adopting the Erdogan narrative on terrorism, that “we understand Turkey’s fears about terrorism ». But in Turkey it is not only terrorism that all of Europe condemns and that Europe and other parts of the world have experienced. Erdogan, like any authoritarian leader, calls anyone who disagrees with him an enemy of the nation and a terrorist. Dermitas, Kavala, journalists are still in prison. Is this narrative adopted by Mr. Mitsotakis?” he wondered, complementing the necessity of the arms embargo on Turkey.
The President of PASOK – Movement for Change emphasized the increased cost of living. “Today’s announcement by ELSTAT of June inflation of 12.1% confirms that the situation in Greece is now out of control” noted Mr. Androulakis, repeating the proposals of PASOK-Movement for Change to reduce the VAT on basic goods, reduce the social security tax and imposing a ceiling on the retail price of electricity. “There is no money, says Mr. Mitsotakis, but he is competing with Mr. Tsipras who will appoint more transferees” he commented.
“The Greek gives the largest amount of his income for rent. Since last summer I have raised the need for an extensive social housing program in the public debate. These houses are not given away. But they are given at a low cost to new couples to start their lives and to people with specific economic and social criteria. Why does Spain, Portugal and Italy do this and not Greece? The Portuguese put 26,000 houses in the Recovery Fund, the Spanish 20,000, the Italians 10,000, the Greek government 100. And Mr. Tsipras comes and holds an event the day before yesterday. When on his time the problem starts. Escalation of the cost of living in rentals begins in 2015 with the increase in short-term renting. Zero found the social housing stock, zero delivered it. And they come after the holiday to sell seaweed for silk ribbons,” noted Mr. Androulakis.
At the beginning of his speech, Mr. Androulakis offered his condolences to the Japanese people for the assassination of Shinzo Abe, the longest-serving democratically elected prime minister in the history of Japan.
At the same time, commenting on the political climate and electioneering of the last few days, he said that “daily it is proven that we have a government that is a theater of the absurd”.
“The prime minister denies early elections and instead of his ministers dealing with the accuracy that plagues the Greek people, they collect votes in their regions. The prime minister denies the elections, but the MPs give him dates from the tele-windows. The prime minister denies the elections, but every day he announces male and female candidates from the prime minister’s office,” said Mr. Androulakis.
The “arrows” of Mr. Androulakis did not escape either the President and the SYRIZA MPs, for whom he said that they are only interested in power”.
“We are not a small party of the center, as some aspire. Therefore, this party must grow, become stronger. We should not let the company of Mr. Tsipras spin the progressive world of the country. A company that operates with the sole interest of power,” he pointed out characteristically,
At the same time, Mr. Androulakis criticized the government, saying that “the staff state, in all major crises, proved to be staff chaos”.
