George Papandreou spoke on SKAI TV and the show “Simera” about the distortion of what he said about the allegations of irregularities in the first round of the Movement for Change elections, emphasizing that next Sunday’s electoral procedures must be flawless. ».
“I was very clean and I am really excited that the media distorts what I say,” said Mr. Papandreou, noting that something similar happened with his phrase “there is money”.
He said that he, like all his fellow candidates, received complaints about problems in the process, something that was confirmed by the competent body and asked to be investigated in view of the second round. He even added that he is the custodian and guarantor of the process that he started in 2004.
The battle has not been decided – It is the second half
George Papandreou estimates that the battle for the leadership of KINAL has not been judged as now is the second half with a different stake.
The people added, in this second round they will choose not the candidate they like best, but who can lead the party, to grow it, to make it a strong majority force, to have international prestige “but to be able to fight and in Parliament”.
The battles are not fought from Brussels
He characterized a substantial disadvantage that if Nikos Androulakis is elected “we do not have a presence in Parliament” as he said, the great battles are fought in parliament, an important stronghold of democracy and are not fought by Brussels.
He insists on the role of Androulakis for 4-2-1
George Papandreou insisted that Mr. Androulakis had a role in the behind-the-scenes negotiations for public appointments between ND, PASOK and KINAL in 2012, although his fellow candidate denied it, saying that he was not the party secretary at the time.
He may not have been a secretary, “but he was authorized and did this thing together with Papamikikos from ND”, said Mr. Papandreou and added:
“To tell you the truth, I do not know if he was a secretary then or a little later. He was the man who played this role. Why did I mention it? “Because I fought when I took over as prime minister and member of parliament for ASEP and for meritocracy.”
If they came to vote from ND or SYRIZA, they certainly did not support me
Responding to those who claim that SYRIZA voters voted for him in order not to elect Mr. Loverdos, he replied that if in the KINAL elections they actually came to vote from SYRIZA or ND, they certainly did not support him.
“If they came from ND to support a candidate and if they came from SYRIZA to support a candidate, I am absolutely sure that neither ND nor SYRIZA supported me. They do not want me. Why; “Because they believe that I can oppose, grow the party and of course win elections,” he noted.
I will repatriate forces from SYRIZA
George Papandreou promised to take electoral forces from SYRIZA repatriating forces that left PASOK and characterized any discussion about cooperation as inappropriate and untimely.
“We are different from ND and SYRIZA. “We will give an alternative to the Greek people, that is why the people voted for us,” he said.
What is the answer to Andreas Loverdos’ “destroyed me”
Regarding the statement of Andreas Loverdos that he destroyed him when he decided to run in the elections, Mr. Papandreou said that he had no such intention, that he understands his pain that is human and that he is sure that he will be together in the big battles of the next day. .
I will support Androulakis if I lose – The unity in my dna
However, he assured that if he loses in the second round of the elections, he will help and support his party from any angle. The unity, he added, I have served, I am the man of the faction, it is in my DNA and I have proved it.
