George Papandreou: ND and SYRIZA can not offer vision and realistic proposal |

by

“Some do not believe in an open society, they do not recognize the people as sovereign, but they believe in a closed democracy, a Greece controlled by them, with the citizens dependent, manipulative, controlled. And they try to serve their own interests in various ways. We have seen the work before. In any case, only Democrats and progressives can and will respond to the fabricated impressions. And it will be, as always, a catalyst. “

This was noted, among others, by the former Prime Minister and MP of Achaia of the Movement for Change, George Papandreou, starting his speech at a political rally that took place today at noon in Agrinio.

As the candidate for the presidency of KINAL added, “it is a great pleasure for me to start from here, from Western Greece, together, this effort, to strengthen our party, to overturn the data that make us all sad, for to put an end to what keeps us stuck in yesterday, but also to a paralyzing balance, which despises the potential of the Greeks, a customer perception that devalues ​​the comparative advantages of the country and holds hostage the healthy productive and creative forces of Greek society ».

Referring to the period when he was prime minister, George Papandreou stressed that “the great economic crisis that we inherited, the great crisis of credibility that Greece had due to the policy of ND, we were forced to take difficult measures” and added: “They hurt the Greek people, they hurt us and me personally. We made our hearts stone in order to avoid the worst. “Our complete economic collapse, our exit from the euro that would threaten both the economy and our national protection.”

“Today, however,” he continued, “the importance of the principles, values ​​and ideals of the great democratic progressive faction is highlighted again, today that the leaderships of the right SW and the left SYRIZA are unable to offer hope and perspective, because the men of ND remains deeply conservative and clientele, and SYRIZA proved to be the best student of this game “.

He also accused ND and SYRIZA of “showing their inability to offer a vision and a realistic proposal that will move the Greeks and the country forward, with confidence and security in a complex and challenging world.”

He also blamed the government, saying that “instead of participation, transparency and consultation, especially with the new recovery funds and the new generation, it manages huge amounts of the Greek people, in a clientelistic, unworthy way.”

Speaking about the role of KINAL, he underlined that “in the face of the challenges of the time, no one can walk unsuspectingly, with his luggage full of perceptions, mentalities and behaviors of yesterday”, adding: “We are called to face today and the upcoming crises. We are called, however, to have the national ability to cope with these developments, to establish democratic, functional institutions, with transparency and accountability, guided by man and the common good. In other words, to continue the great changes that characterized our course as a faction and to clash with the wrong texts of a State imprisoned in old mentalities and practices “.

At the same time, George Papandreou noted that “what people now expect is a new social contract, green and sustainable, which guarantees rights, a dignified life, health, education, work, access to the digital world, protection from all forms of inequality, but and due to circumstances, climate justice “.

Speaking about the internal party elections, George Papandreou said that “these elections are not just an internal party process, but must become a celebration of democracy, creating new conditions and dynamics.”

At the same time, he stressed that we must “make the crisis a lever of change, for our party and for Greece, to build a progressive party that will respond effectively, with vision and realism, to its debt history, which will propose a progressive governance proposal in the conservative, a proposal that will respond effectively and effectively to the conservative bipolarity maintained by the leaderships of ND and SYRIZA “.

Afterwards, George Papandreou will go to Nafpaktos, where, according to the announced program, he will visit the labor center and meet with the management and representatives of the employees.
