The square of Nea Smyrni was visited at noon on Saturday the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakiss, where he greeted and talked with citizens. Speaking to friends and officials of the party, Mr. Androulakis emphasized that Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Tsipras were saying that we have no seats, but it turns out that their own seats are only the chairs for which they are anxious. So we have other priorities.”

He underlined that PASOK, since 1974, has built everything that is right in this country, at the level of the social state, meritocracy, transparency, ASEP, Diaygeia, NSY, public universities, infrastructure, subways, airports.

As he said, “the National Health System established by PASOK is collapsing in the hands of Mr. Mitsotakis. We, who did it, have a duty to regenerate it. That is why we commit to the citizens, that we will take, not 2-4% from the Recovery Fund like New Democracy, but 8-10% to make a strong primary health care network. Let’s give serious financial incentives to health workers to stay in Greece and stop our doctors from going abroad”.

Nikos Androulakis then commented on the issue of the university police, wondering why New Democracy, instead of doing the obvious, sets up toxic confrontations, in order to do what suits it and appoint a few more”. At the same time, regarding admission to higher education, he stated that “the life of a young person cannot be judged in an exam, crown – letters, with all that this entails for his future, for his perspective. We are talking about a national high school diploma. The national baccalaureate exists in many European countries. It stops the school becoming an outlier and the burden falling only on tutoring, and the school thus acquires the character it deserves.”

Regarding the burning issue of housing costs, the president of PASOK-KINAL accused Kyriakos Mitsotakis of “practicing politics for citizen-clients and not social policy with social criteria” while he repeated the positions of PASOK-Movement for Change for “construction of new homes and incentives reconstruction of older buildings, aiming at a pool of 150,000 homes that will house thousands of new couples at low rent. It is critical for our demographics, for social justice and addressing inequalities. We are talking about another model of social housing, following the mature examples of Austria, Germany and southern countries,” he said.

Regarding the 120 installments to EFKA and tax authorities, he proposed a 30% reduction of the initial amount when these are met. “New Democracy comes out and says it did it. Ask those around you how many people were able to join the 120 installments and you will understand to what extent Mr. Mitsotakis despises you,” said Mr. Androulakis.

The president of PASOK-KINAL, Nikos Androulakis, emphasized the importance of political ethics and noted:

“I don’t hear any journalist asking Mr. Mitsotakis if he agrees with me on the issue of meritocracy. We want new change, meritocracy, transparency, and I really want them to answer: Are they committed to this after May 21, or will they continue to have the state as loot to set up games at the expense of the public interest?”

“So what’s the issue? Who is prettier? Who makes the best TikTok with his wife and dog? Or who provides solutions for the Greek people in the social impasses? I will not get into the game of polarization and cheap communication. I have a duty to speak frankly, with realism, with the sole motive of a better life for all Greeks. This is the value of politics and not to communicate for the sake of communication”, pointed out the president of PASOK-Movement of Change.

“Trust us because we have a high index of both reliability and knowledge to build the Greece of the real 21st century and not the Greece of the parastate, wiretapping, graft, discord, toxicity, parastatal mechanisms on social media that level personalities, human rights and separation of powers”, concluded Nikos Androulakis.
