“SYRIZA united the country and handed it over as a housekeeper. It took effort to do this, but it was done,” said Ms. Tsapanidou
It is not relevant, three days before the elections, to discuss what a political leader will do if he loses, emphasized the press representative of SYRIZA, Popi Tsapanidou, speaking on the show “Today” with Dimitris Oikonomou and Akis Pavlopoulos in .
“We are a few days before the elections, scenarios of this type are for long after. We will also see by what percentage someone loses, but that is for later, not for now” he said and continued specifically about Alexis Tsipras: “He has such support from the people, is it possible to open such a conversation? You don’t put something like that on your agenda when you have the polls in front of you in three days.”
And he added: “Alexis Tsipras took SYRIZA and turned it into a party of power.”
Regarding the phrase of Mr. Mitsotakis: “You win, you stay. You lose, you leave” Ms. Tsapanidou commented: “Will Mr. Mitsotakis decide what will happen to SYRIZA? Mr. Tsipras was elected by his party two years ago”
With reference to the SYRIZA program and its costing, Mrs. Tsapanidou emphasized that the criticism made by Mr. Mitsotakis is to terrify the people.
“SYRIZA he presents his program in detail, he has been working on it for 4 years, he presents it to the world. It is costed and realistic, it scares Mr. Mitsotakis because it is a program that covers the needs of the world and will bring relief.”
He added that the SYRIZA program is priced at 5.5 billion euros per year.
“SYRIZA united the country and handed it over as a housekeeper. It took effort to do this, but it was done, SYRIZA managed to unite the country. On the other hand, the ND cannot collect the house’s belongings, its party owes 400 million” said Mrs. Tsapanidou.
He went on to say that the conditions in the last four years were not the same as the years when SYRIZA was in power: “During the pandemic, the EU had opened up funding, the budgets had been relaxed, all the states were financially supported,” he said.
He criticized the government for the NHS, saying that the pandemic was an opportunity to support the health system, but instead of supporting the NHS, “hospitals are full of people, you wait months to have surgery. Is this policy on the right track to meet the needs? If the health system wanted to be strengthened, the government would have made moves. We aim to meet the needs of citizens”.
Finally, when asked if the predictions of the opinion polls can be overturned, Mrs. Tsapanidou replied: “They have also fallen abroad, in Cyprus, in Turkey. Societies are changing at a rapid pace and these polls are not keeping up. I prefer to look at the quality elements and the world outside”.
