His faction PASOK will again become “the real alternative that the Greek people need” he emphasized during his speech at Rose this evening the president of PASOK – KINAL Nikos Androulakisaccusing K. Mitsotakis of “contempt for the intelligence of the Greek people”.

“We will put two feet in one shoe to those who think that we will accept what they ask of us”, he characteristically said at another point of his speech, making it clear that PASOK is not going to back down.

At the beginning of the speech theMr. Androulakis emphasized that PASOK in a few years will be the strong opponent again of New Democracy and the real alternative progressive faction that the country needs.

Mr. Androulakis referred extensively in his speech at economy and wageshighlighting that wages are only rising nominally and that incomes will decline in 2023 with whatever consequences this has for workers and the middle class.

“All the data show the impoverishment of the Greek people” noted Mr. Androulakis, emphasizing that in Portugal – which had similar data to Greece, the results were different.

“I’m sounding the alarm in a populist government with ties, which despises the intelligence of the Greek people and their real problems, daily increasing inequalities at the expense of the middle class” added Nikos Androulakis, who also referred to the dispute that has erupted between PASOK and New Democracy over their taxes, stressing that ND serves the few at the expense of the many.

At the same time, he explained that the taxation requested by PASOK-KINAL concerns dividends and not the profits of businesses, noting that the Mitsotakis government defends the interests of the few. “Their anguish is not the middle class, but the few who support them,” he added.

Mr. Androulakis he also criticized SYRIZA claiming that he has changed his stance on the taxation of surplus profits and dividends. “It is becoming clear who have stable positions and who are the sponsors of New Democracy and they are the ones responsible for Mr. Mitsotakis getting 40%” he added.

The president of PASOK – Movement for Change he repeated that PASOK is the genuine opponent of New Democracy, explaining their party’s positions on changes in VAT, tax-free parental benefits and the reduction of indirect taxes.

“The PASOK opposition will put both feet in one shoe, because we call things by their name” added Mr. Androulakis.
