The support ofexpressed the Euro-group of Socialists and Democrats to the President of PASOK-Movement for Change Nikos Androulakis, noting the need to change towards political choices with social justice and equal opportunities for everyone in our country.

Specifically, the Head of the Euro-group of Socialists and Democrats Irace Garcia Perez pointed out:

“As President of the Socialists and Democrats of the European Parliament, I would like to say that this two-day visit to Greece gave us the opportunity to get to know the reality of this country, which needs change for young people and women. There must be a clear transition.
We need a government much closer to the citizens, which will solve their problems. And obviously we are here to support our comrade and President of PASOK Nikos Androulakis, who without a doubt will become an excellent leader that the country needs to make the changes that are necessary. To provide political solutions in a progressive, pro-European manner and close to the citizens.
For a fairer, more social and more equal Greece”.

On his part, Mr. Androulakis stated:

“I want to thank President Irace García Perez who together with the presidency of the European Socialists and Democrats met this two days in Athens to support the effort that PASOK is making before the national elections.

A little while ago we were at the Acropolis Museum to support the just demand of the Greek people for the repatriation of the Parthenon Sculptures to Athens from the British Museum.

Unfortunately, this meeting took place under the shadow of the tragic accident in Tempe that claimed the lives of 57 of our fellow citizens.

We have debt in Greece to build one reliable state which will guarantee the public interest. A strong liberal democracy, which will respect human rights and a resilient economy, which will reduce inequalities and give perspective to younger generations.
All this time, we are trying to turn this anxiety into politics and action. I am very happy that we have you on our side and I believe that we can succeed in having a strong Greece within a Europe that will guarantee a better future for all European peoples”.
