“I pledge on Sunday night to be the president of all if you give me this opportunity, either those who voted for me or those who did not vote for me,” said PASOK leadership candidate Nikos Androulakis at a large rally in Rhodes.
“Some did not believe that this process would lead 270,000 citizens, progressive democrats of all generations, to take an active part last Sunday. Their participation is the hope, their participation is the compass. PASOK is back, Mr. Tsipras and Mr. Mitsotakis are losing their sleep and that is the message of last Sunday. We are here again together, without the old divisions, united, knowing that we must not repeat the mistakes of yesterday “, stressed Mr. Androulakis, commenting on the turnout at last Sunday’s ballot box and the perspective it creates.
Against ND and SYRIZA, “we are coming to become the center-left again, which will again oppose the right wing and not a party like SYRIZA, which was born of the crisis and is a weapon in the hands of Mitsotakis, his wickedness and his populism. “In this dipole of discord and misery, the Democratic Party is reborn and will be the next governmental choice of the Greek people, so that the people have a progressive, realistic, programmatic choice,” he added.
“Social democracy is returning because the pandemic has highlighted its necessity,” Androulakis said. “The needs give birth to the parties, the needs for a welfare state, equality, dignity, social justice, are here and we must respond to them. These needs regenerate the Party and make it strong. I ask that we all carry this historic responsibility on our backs together next Sunday. So I call again here in Rhodes and the 270,000 democratic progressive citizens who honored us and gave us hope, to come again, to meet, and together to fight for the next parliamentary elections. “
Mr. Androulakis asked for “a clear mandate of renewal, a clear mandate of unity. A unit that I will not allow anyone to play with. No one will play again with the unity of PASOK and the Democratic Party. I say this because our members, our friends, all, were hurt by the behaviors of old protagonists. Unity will no longer be the convenience of the old protagonists. It will be a unity of the base, the program, the values, and the principles of PASOK and the Democratic Party “.
Regarding the next day, he commented that “no one will have special behavior, we will not be a party where paratroopers will land in critical positions. We will be a party of internal meritocracy that will respect all its executives, whatever choices they make. I will never again allow anyone to make our members and friends scoundrels of central government decisions. “Each of our positions will be a product of consultation and internal democracy.”
