“Proportionate reinforcement of European industry by all member states, otherwise we will soon not have an EU, but a Franco-German Union with many satellites”
The President of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance Alexis Tsipras, attending the preparatory Conference of the Party of Eurosocialists he made the following statement to the press representatives:
“Right now our thoughts are on the humanitarian tragedy in Turkey and Syria. The European Union must take the lead in sending humanitarian aid. This is not the time to keep in mind the sanctions on Syria that do not allow aid to be sent there. The EU must take the lead in a humanitarian and aid effort, this is the first priority.
“In our country now, Greece is unfortunately a central topic of discussion in the European institutions. The Mitsotakis regime is a central topic of discussion. Next week, the European Parliament in its plenary session will discuss the erosion of the rule of law in Greece by the surveillance and manipulation of the media. It is obvious that those who hypocritically told us that they want us to stay in the EU, have distanced us from Europe and the European acquis.
“Regarding the economic issues that will be discussed by the European Council, a very crucial discussion is the one that concerns the strengthening of European industry. This aid, however, must be done proportionally by all member states and not by those who have the ability. Otherwise, we will soon not have a European Union but a Franco-German Union with many satellites.
»More solidarity is needed. State aid is required to be given in the form of guarantees so that they are not registered in debt. The funds should be managed by the European Investment Bank and a radical revision of the Stability Pact is of course required.
»More solidarity is also needed in immigration, with a fair European Asylum and Migration Pact so that the countries of first reception do not take all the burden. It’s a common problem, let’s all manage it together.”
