“In this small country, a prince has been ruling for 4 years, who when he became prime minister, like his father, thought he had become a king,” said Mr. Tsipras, responding to ND’s comments about the name of the cafe in Nea Smyrni , where the gathering took place
The “fairy tale of ND” and the events of the four years of the Mitsotakis administration were “narrated” by the president of SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras, in a speech in Nea Smyrni, where he met and discussed with citizens and shopkeepers on Saturday morning.
The reason for recounting the “fairytale of the ND” were the comments on social media that mocked the name of the cafe, “Fairytale with coffee”, in the square of Nea Smyrni, where the gathering of the president of SYRIZA PS took place.
Mr. Tsipras noted that the fairy tale of ND and Mitsotakis ends on May 21st, because “the Greek people will turn their backs on injustice, exploitation, discredit and corruption”.
The “fairytale of the ND” in detail:
“So I want to start with what I saw on my mobile while returning from Pyrgos yesterday. The government trolls made the cafe that hosts us an issue, it has a very nice title. It is called “Fairy tale with coffee”. And the regular storytellers told us that we will tell stories today. So I came today to tell you a fairy tale.
Once upon a time there was a country called Greece. In this little country its people had long since untangled themselves from royalty but had not untangled themselves from the habits of royalty. Two or three families ruled for many years. The prime minister’s father usually left his son behind to become prime minister and if he didn’t have a son, he left his nephew. The Kingdom was not lost at all. The family dynasty continued.
In this small country, a prince has been ruling for 4 years, who when he became prime minister, like his father, thought he had become a king. And in this country ruled by the prince, who thought he had become a king, everything is going perfectly. The world; He is happy. There is safety, justice. Employees do not know what to do with their salary. Retirees save. If you go to the supermarket you see happy faces. Housewives shop three times a day. At the gas stations they pour the gas. She is cheap. The small and medium entrepreneurs? Where you lose them, where you find them, is in the banks to get low interest loans and of course business is going very well.
Young men and women make their dreams come true. They go to the schools they want and live in their own home with the people they love and don’t go abroad. Everyone wants to live in this country.
Workers have decent wages and hours and no one oppresses them. And if there is a bad employer, there is the Labor Inspectorate to address it.
Democracy; Freedom of speech; We are first in all of Europe in freedom of speech. As you can imagine, every time the prince goes to a TV station he gets so much criticism, the last time he went he was asked if he likes dolmadaki. Such tough questions.
Polls always tell the truth and always fall in. While no one thinks of circumventing the Constitution, the rule of law. No one in this country is smart enough to do surveillance. Especially political opponents.
And of course above all there is safety. Let’s say this. There is no mafia. You can sit in the square of New Smyrna on a Sunday afternoon drinking your coffee, and you know that no gangster with a pistol will come and shoot the person next to you. There is security in this country.
And of course if you take the train you know that you will arrive on time and safely.
This is his country everything is fine. This is the tale of the prince who became king, this is the tale of ND and Mitsotakis. This is the fairy tale that ends on the 21st of May. The Greek people turn their backs on injustice, exploitation, discredit and corruption”.
