Two 24 hours before the official start of the pre-election period, tomorrow Saturday, the prime minister from the platform of the ND Political Committee raised the critical dilemmas of the elections, calling the entire center-right faction to rally in order to fight the hard battle of achieving a high percentage in polls on 21 May, which will be a qualifier for a government of self-reliance in the second elections. “Self-reliant ND for a strong and self-reliant Greece. Away from the burdens of paralysis from an incongruous governmental cooperation” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said at the beginning of his speech.

Before “cutting the thread” of the official pre-election period and during a break from the tours he is carrying out around Greece, in the presence of ministers, parliamentarians and ND party officials, the Kyriakos Mitsotakis he set the tone from the “headquarters” of Piraeus for the fight that is now entering the final stretch, in order to mobilize the entire party apparatus that will also activate the ND voter base, calling them “fighters”. “All of you will put into practice the slogan for stability, continuity and consistency in the trajectory of national development,” said the prime minister, emphasizing the words “stability, consistency, continuity” which he said encapsulate three great conquests.

In fact, according to information, a meeting of the prime minister has been planned for the next period with all the former MPs of the party who are not candidates in order to actively contribute to the electoral contest so that they too can contribute to the effort.

Her clear goal SW and the Prime Minister himself remains the comparison and not the conflict, as repeated by the Political Committee of the party, stating that he prefers “comparison to conflict, so that the citizens can objectively weigh everything that they have conquered in the last four years, in contrast to what they they suffered under SYRIZA. But also to decide with a clear mind who can manage and overcome any unforeseen crisis and who constitutes a crisis themselves”.

After the statements of the two leading members of SYRIZA, Yiannis Dragasakis and Euclid Tsakalotou, who appeared positive about the possibility of forming a government of the defeated after the May elections, the prime minister sounded the alarm to undecided voters and to PASOK voters in particular , stressing that such a possibility can be verified if the numbers allow it. “The ND’s opponents will not hesitate to form a coalition,” he said and recalled that “from TIF I had spoken about this theoretical scenario of political monstrosity. Everyone admits it. The risks are many and it is something that every voter should be concerned about. The one who will want to vote for PASOK and then see Mr. Tsipras as prime minister and Mr. Varoufakis as finance minister,” he noted, emphasizing that there is no room for loose votes or protest votes and the result of May 21 will determine who will govern.

On the way to the polls, the prime minister is expected to emphatically raise the dilemmas of the upcoming elections, highlighting at every opportunity and from every “step” the government work of the four-year ND government and seeking comparison with the government SYRIZAfocusing in particular on the economy, which Piraeus and the Maximos Palace consider the strong card of the ND governance, but also on the issues of security, foreign policy and modernization of the state.

Today, the prime minister will visit the Regional Units of Argolis, Arcadia and Messinia, where in the morning he will attend the signing of the contract for the Argos-Nafplio road connection with the A7 highway and then he will visit Mycenae and Nafplio. At noon, he will go to Astros Kynourias, where he will attend the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the Second National Assembly, and then he will also visit Megalopolis.

In the second year, the communication policy of Piraeus is expected to focus on the program of the next four years 2019-2023 with the spearhead of the economy with better salaries in the public and private sector, cheap housing for young people and modern health. Next week, after all, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will present the ND program for the next four years, “for a strong Greece, with 5 clear priorities” as he himself stated.
