“Heraklion has been at the heart of our venture since 2016, when we founded DiEM25, after the betrayal of the people and the capitulation of SYRIZA to the Troika in 2015,” said the secretary of MeRA25 Yanis Varoufakis speaking today Monday in Heraklion.

“In 2019, it was one of the regions that voted NO again in the Parliament, with the election of a MeRA25 deputy. That is why we now say, in 2023, first time Rupture! This difficult road is the road of hope” said the secretary of MeRA25.

“These days I remembered something said by Mahatma Gandhi: “First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you defeat them.” In 2019 they ignored us. They didn’t pass, we entered the Parliament. In this election, they tried to fool us with “how many Demeters a skewer” nonsense. This didn’t happen to them either, the people know the value of our proposals. And now they are fighting us: the oligarchy channels, led by Mr. Marinakis, are boycotting us. They fear the power of our ideas, the subversive power of our radical proposals. We continue because we know that the next phase is that of Victory!” said G. Varoufakis.

“There is no doubt that all of us we will have a party when Mitsotakis leaves from Maximus? Of course we want it! But we are a party of the Left, we are not allowed to be satisfied with the defeat of Mitsotakis: We have to crush the whole network of entanglement and corruption whose disgraceful profit is supported by all the memorandum governments. If Hercules, the Energy Exchange, the Superfund are not abolished, we will never see progressive governance,” he said.
