“When again a second time in calamity. We burned in 2015, suffered and learned, let’s not burn in 2023″ the prime minister emphasized on Friday Kyriakos Mitsotakis speaking at a ND party event in Munich about the election at stake.

The prime minister repeated that the central dilemma of the upcoming elections is “if we go forward or if we go back” and in a scathing style he referred to the image of SYRIZA president Alexis Tsipras earlier today on a tractor in Karditsa.

“Today I saw the image of Mr. Tsipras on a tractor just like ten years ago. Nothing has changed, the same and unchanged SYRIZA in terms of the degree of mockery towards the Greek people”.

“It’s also easy to bet a lot when you know you won’t win the election,” he reported. The prime minister repeated that the first ballot box is the one that will give the message of the strong and self-reliant ND and in a ambivalent tone he addressed the gathered saying. “You had Alexis Tsipras as prime minister for four years and now Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister for four years, which of the two do you prefer?”

The prime minister also gave a brief account of the government’s work so far and invited those present to give a loud round of applause to the women and the men of EMAK who, as he said, were from the first moment in Turkey to support the Turkish people in an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.

“Some people told us that they would come to our islands at night. Finally we went at night to help, because this is what our humanitarian duty dictates. We drew red lines and made it clear that we are not taking a step back in defending our sovereignty and sovereign rights.” underlined the prime minister.
