“We don’t go to the elections with “ifs” and assumptions, we go with conditions. The Greek people are mature, they know us all well and they don’t expect to get to know us four days before the elections. He knows that Mr. Androulakis is a devotee of the indefinite with this unthinkable for the “unknown X” Prime Minister of the country, which in my opinion is also an institutional misstep. Mr. Tsipras, on the other hand, with his ambiguity. The only clear thing they are fighting about is who claims the “paternity” of 1981, which by the way is closer to 1940 than 2023. Citizens, going to the polls, will assess the conditions for a strong Greece. This is the ballot box before us, the crucial and important ballot box is this Sunday, May 21″, emphasized in an interview the Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister and candidate for Member of Parliament of Fthiotida, Yiannis Oikonomou.

At the same time, Mr. Economou emphasized that “the Prime Minister who will be there to pick up the phone when called upon to manage a refugee crisis, like the one managed by Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Evros, is important. The Prime Minister who will make the decisions to strengthen the country with defense deals and armaments programs, in a southeast Europe that will never be at rest, matters. The Prime Minister who will be called upon to propose and implement policies such as the Recovery Fund, the cap on natural gas, to play a leading role at the European Union level in the context of the modern threats that the country feels, is important. The Prime Minister who will be there to set evaluation conditions and push Greece to change – maybe not at the rate we would like everywhere, but it is changing – is important. Kyriakos Mitsotakis has proven that he can carry this burden. Our people have an irrefutable presumption about what everyone did and said while they were in power.”

Mr. Economou also commented at Open that “two common points are what unite the opposition spectrum of SYRIZA and PASOK. The first common point is the hatred for Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the second common point is the description of a reality that has nothing to do with Greece today. We have never claimed that all problems are solved and everything is rosy. They could not be rosy in a hurricane of global crises. However, no matter how we do it, Greece is neither a third-world dictatorship, nor an unfree regime in the press, nor does it present at the level of society and economy what they support. In education, 25,000 teachers were appointed after 12 years, in health we supported the NHS to deal with the pandemic.

The devotees of consensus and simple proportionality – because we don’t believe in simple proportionality, we didn’t hide it, we believe that there is no political raw material – how can they not agree on anything within 40 days of the pre-election period and in two days they will? This “we say one thing before the elections and do another thing afterwards” is in itself an insult and an insult to the citizens’ intelligence. The Prime Minister will be the Leader of the first party, the one the citizens will choose as Prime Minister” he concluded.
