“In 15 days the nightmare ends, the long-awaited change comes, SYRIZA wins the elections and the way is opened for a government of progressive cooperation. Wherever I am in our country, the message is one, ‘no more, this far’. So far with the discrediting, targeting, indifference, arrogance, profiteering, nepotism, injustice”, said Alexis Tsipras, speaking in Lamia, in the People’s Square.

The president of SYRIZA PS argued that “for four years now, this government has failed in all the critical things”, in the pandemic, in the energy crisis, in the crisis of accuracy. “Grifting is the signature of the Mitsotakis government,” he said, adding that “4 years ago they ordered the people better jobs, better salaries, better pensions and a staff state. Where did all this go 4 years later?”

“This is where the middle class, in whose name Mr. Mitsotakis won the elections, has come to live on vouchers. There is a pass everywhere, but in the end you can’t go anywhere with Mr. Mitsotakis’ passes”, he commented. He also spoke of the government’s “achievements” “in relation to the breakdown of the rule of law, illegal surveillance, 108 briefing, direct award and closed tenders of 10 billion, the salaries of the blue golden boys”. He added that “the staff state has become the biggest joke, it scares the citizens.”

Mr. Tsipras mentioned that the government also devalued public health, saying that in the public hospital of Lamia “we left 111 doctors, today there are less than 100. In ’19 there were 7 pulmonologists today there is one. There were 10 doctors in the emergency room, today only 4.” “This is the Mitsotakis policy, everything public leaves to be abandoned and discredited to feed the big private interests,” he said.
