For fake news spoke the candidate for president of KINAL, Nikos Androulakis commenting on SKAI and the show “Simera” yesterday’s reports of George Papandreou to SKAI and Sia Kosioni that as PASOK secretary his fellow candidate had participated in a party -Venizelou for appointments with client criteria.
“In the 4-2-1 system (s.s. with which the executives of the parties of the old political system were appointed to the State), the former prime minister stated that I was the secretary. It does not make any sense. The Samaras-Venizelos co-government took place in the summer of 2012, while I was elected PASOK secretary in the spring of 2013. At the conference where I was elected secretary, I was elected on one condition. That those who entered the 4-2-1 system by PASOK executives are excluded from any party position. This was done on my own initiative, because I disagreed with this system. “It is unthinkable to make such fake news,” he said.
Regarding the issue of the veto on EU accession, Mr. Androulakis noted “to stop this fake news”. As he explained, when countries join the EU, unanimity is needed. “It’s nothing to do with what I’m saying. The accession veto does not change, it is a building block of the Union. What is changing are issues of sanctions, human rights, is the so-called qualified majority. But here there is something more serious. What I say, the former prime minister also said. There was the negotiating team when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs and we were trying to change the European Constitution then, where even with articles of that time in the foreign press he is in favor of the qualified majority. We agreed then. “Now there is another point of view from Mr. Papandreou,” he pointed out.
Responding to George Papandreou’s accusations that he represents the old party and does not bring an air of renewal to the party, he stressed that the renewal is a matter of political behavior, political ethos, and proposals. In fact, he described himself as a proud Social Democrat.
He added that his victory wants to be peaceful with conditions that will make the party strong the next day. “This is the compass for me. Strong PASOK, strong faction. “The old practices that hurt our members and friends and brought discord do not concern me and I will not follow them,” he said.
Regarding the Prespa agreement, he expressed the view that it was an agreement that was not complete, noting that it was not done in national terms of conciliation. “It is a lame agreement and it is unprecedented to call the country and its people different. But if the memoranda come and the agreement is implemented, we can not not vote for them. “But if it is not implemented on the other side, we will not vote for them,” he clarified.
I have not contacted Loverdos
Asked if Mr. Androulakis spoke with Andreas Loverdos, he said that he has not communicated and will not enter into any behind-the-scenes negotiations. “I honor my fellow candidates and I honor them in this way as well. We will speak in public “, he underlined and added that the support of all his fellow candidates is welcome. “I am not addressing only those who voted for me, but everyone and I pledge that if they give me this opportunity, if they honor me next Sunday, I will offer them an open party, a social democratic party, a strong party, a party of meritocracy and transparency.” he stated.
Regarding whether George Papandreou can play a role in KINAL the next day, he stated that “everyone will have a role”, while regarding his representation in Parliament, he pointed out that it will be resolved institutionally. “The president who has been elected will make a proposal and we will make an institutional decision in the parliamentary group,” he stressed.
He added that he wants his party to become a ruling party. “I want to re-elect a prime minister, I want to help the Greek people turn the page. “The Greek people do not deserve either the culture of Mr. Mitostakis who continues the same customer behaviors or the populism and the divisive treatment”, he pointed out. He clarified that what hurt PASOK voters in the past, they will not see it again and promised to guarantee the unity and perspective of the party. “We will bring a new generation to the forefront showing respect for both our history and our executives,” he said.
However, he made it clear that those who left the party for λόγ chair reasons would remain outside the party. “It is a matter of value for those who left our party in difficult times, not for political reasons, but for the sake of a chair, not to be together,” he said.
PASOK is back
The winner of the first round of the KINAL internal party elections, stressed that he did not expect to receive such a high percentage, but clarified that the crucial thing was the huge turnout of the people. “If you imagine that ND, which had 5 times higher percentages than us in the parliamentary elections and had a turnout of 410,000 and we 270,000, shows a very great dynamic. “This will be a dowry and a deposit the next day as well,” he said.
He stressed that PASOK returned and when asked if the name of the party would be changed, he replied that “our voters are raising the issue of the name and the symbol. We will respect it and we will make all the changes we need to honor our symbols, but also the people who came and helped “.
Regarding whether he feels confident about his victory in the second round, Mr. Androulakis stated that the result is not discounted and that it is a battle that starts from scratch, noting that he will make the same political campaign on the same terms. “I do not want fruitless confrontations, I am not interested in discord. “I am interested in honoring the 270,000 people who voted, to go united to bring a very large percentage in the next parliamentary elections,” he stressed.
What has hurt them in the past, we will not see again. I will be the guarantor of the unity and the perspective of the party. We will bring a new generation to the fore by showing respect for both our history and our executives.
Finally, regarding KINAL’s finances, although he clarified that he does not bear any responsibility for what happened, he noted that his priorities are to call all creditors and settle the party’s debts.
