“We will fight in every part of Greece so that this neo-Nazi formation not to find a place in the Parliament” the president of PASOK-Movement for Change Nikos Androulakis pointed out on Thursday from Kalavryta for the Kasidiari party

Mr. Androulakis emphasized that PASOK-Movement of Change voted for the relevant amendment “in order to stand in the way of the neo-Nazi criminal organization, which wants to take part in a democratic political system through prison. I want to send a clear message from this place of martyrdom: The laws exist but it is also the will of the Greek people. And because we have seen a lot in previous years, the Greek people must get in the way with their vote and not to give the opportunity to enter the Greek parliament for people who stained their hands with the blood of Fyssa, people who are apologists for Hitler and those who bled Greece in Kalavryta and other places of martyrdom. Memory is a guard. Democracy is a guard and we, the Democratic Party, whose DNA is the struggles and sacrifices of the Greek people, will fight in every part of Greece so that this neo-Nazi formation does not find a place in the Hellenic Parliament,” he said.

Speaking to friends and executives of PASOK-Movement of Change, Nikos Androulakis prioritized policies for the new generation.

“For the homeland to stand up, the new generation of our country must stand up. For the Greek children to stay here, to have opportunities, to build a life of dignity, to have families. Otherwise, the country will collapse, demographically, economically and socially,” he noted, making special reference to the social housing program proposed by PASOK-Movement for Change, as well as the investment in the welfare state and in policies that reduce the cost of living.

“If Mr. Mitsotakis thinks that we have a presidential democracy and his alternative is Mr. Tsipras to blackmail the vote of the Greek people, we stand in the way of this mechanism of fear and give hope and perspective through a responsible social democratic program which has two main goals: A competitive productive economy and a strong social state” said Mr. Androulakis.

PASOK

Commenting on the decision to “freeze” bank interest rates, the President of PASOK-Movement of Change pointed out: “New Democracy is pleased, because interest rates are “frozen” for a year for some borrowers. For a year the banks have record profits and propose taxation of surplus profits. There cannot be the biggest difference in Europe between the interest rate on deposits and the interest rate on mortgages and Mr. Mitsotakis making Pontius Pilate. To allow them to make billions in profits and a few weeks before the elections suddenly the banks announce measures why? To confirm what we have been saying for so many months? That the priority of the ND government is to serve the oligarchs and not the majority of the Greek people? If Mr. Mitsotakis thinks that he will buy off with these cheap communication games a Greek people, who see that the health costs are the third highest in Europe, that the schools have been discredited, that the universities are in dire straits, that he has collapsed the welfare state, that inequalities have increased and it comes to the parapente to say what? Now he became prime minister, a few days before the national elections?’

Referring to the primary sector, he insisted that “we cannot talk about agri-food without targeting products that are competitive in international markets, in our PDO products, such as feta”.

He repeated the proposal of PASOK-Movement for Change for one strong primary health care network. “During the pandemic in European states, primary care was the breakwater of COVID. That’s where they went for vaccines and medical services, so that the big hospitals continued to offer services to cancer patients and people with serious illnesses, rather than the collapse of preventive medicine. That’s why we support a strong primary care network to reach the standards of other European countries.”
