The Secretary of the Central Committee of SYRIZA commented regarding the prime minister’s speech in Parliament on the surveillance case that his answers did not cover “not only SYRIZA, but not even its own executives”

Kyriakos Mitsotakis “is the orchestrator and protagonist of the Greek Watergate, the one objectively responsible for the illegal surveillance. He is an isolated prime minister on the verge of collapse,” she said Rania Svigou in an interview with the newspaper “Macedonia tis Kyriakis”.

The Secretary of the Central Committee of SYRIZA PS commented regarding the prime minister’s speech in Parliament on the case of surveillance that his answers did not cover “not only SYRIZA-PS, but not even its own executives”, citing the “differences of central and emblematic figures for the ND”. “He reached the point, both in parliament and in his speech to the cabinet, of peddling conspiracy theories, about ‘foreign forces’ trying to destabilize the country, through the revelation of this dark affair,” said Ms. Svigou, characterizing Mr. Mitsotakis as “dangerous for stability and democracy, and harmful for the international position of our country”.

He noted that “progressive parties must assume their responsibilities, vis-a-vis society and history”, stressing that “it is now understood that there are no equal distances between progressive and democratic forces, and a government that clearly tells us that everyone and all we are potentially being watched by the secret services.”

Referring to the upcoming presentation at the TIF of the SYRIZA-PS program, she said that “Alexis Tsipras will present a progressive and radical program for the future of the country, which will include deep cuts and reforms in the state and institutions, just like another model development, socially just, ecologically sustainable, oriented towards the reduction of inequalities”. A central role in the SYRIZA-PS program will have, as he added, “a set of effective and necessary, immediately applicable measures to deal with the multifaceted energy, economic and accuracy crisis”.

Regarding the aid measures taken by the government to deal with the energy crisis, Mrs. Svigou accused it of “subsidizing the energy waste with taxpayers’ money, protecting the cartels, refusing to even use the Commission’s toolbox” . He noted that at the moment when Macron in France is nationalizing EDF, “here the public interest in PPC was sold off” and that “while Spain and Portugal claimed and obtained an exception to their pricing, Mr. Mitsotakis gave 2.2 billion euros to private energy providers”. “Because”, as he argued, “it operates with neoliberal obsessions, in favor of specific interests, and daily leads to even greater impoverishment of Greek society”.
