“Only a few days separate us from the critical, final battle. The election contest of June 25. And what is judged is above parties, persons, communication strategies, mistakes and omissions. It is decided who will rule the country. With what policies and by what means? The lives of many are judged in a few words. The lives of people of toil, creation, spirit”. This is what the president of SYRIZA-PS says, Alexis Tsiprasin a lengthy social media post addressing the world call for conscription with SYRIZA to “match” for “preventing right-wing omnipotence”.

“Will health, education, well-being be a right or a privilege? Will there be dignity, or indecency at work? Do we want a state for the citizen, or a booty state? These are the big dilemmas of the ballot box. Our people are called to answer these. This is what we want to bring to the center of the confrontation”, notes Al. Tsipras and continues: “There are two opposing programs. The ND program that foresees speculation everywhere. In hospitals, universities, energy, transport, water, infrastructure. We have seen it put into practice over the past four years. The precision, the obscene profit, the centenaries of the pandemic, Tempi, the looting of public funds, show what will dawn on us if the ND wins these elections. And indeed with omnipotence, as he seeks. The SYRIZA program, which inextricably links development with protection, security and prosperity for all, is the only answer of democracy, justice and social cohesion”.

He emphasizes that “there is no third option”. As he argues, “the smaller parties of the democratic space proved, unfortunately, inferior to the circumstances, wasting the historical opportunity of simple proportionality”. “And while SYRIZA, with a sense of responsibility, has admitted its own mistakes, which contributed to the painful election result for itself and society, they insist on the same policy, which damages the popular strata. This is exactly what the ND seeks, a fragmented and weak opposition,” adds Al. Tsipras, underlining that “thus the burden falls on us”. “Just like yesterday with the bankruptcy, so today, let’s get Greece out of the impasse. To do everything to keep society standing. Man to man and house to house to claim the last vote. Convince democratic citizens that only a strong SYRIZA and not a fragmented and civil opposition can prevent right-wing omnipotence. To block ND’s plans. To protect the social majority from what is coming. To keep alive the hope and perspective of a democratic and fair governance”, he emphasizes.

“I invite you all to this difficult but beautiful fight. Standing, cool, determined, let’s fight, with the competitive traditions of the progressive world and the values ​​of the Left as a compass. To speak, to listen, to convince, to unite. Our work, the work of each and every one of us can change and will change the associations that want to appear unchanged. More determined, more united, more serious than ever, we will fight this crucial fight. We know from our own experience that the only matches that are definitely lost are those that are not won. So let’s fight this fight with faith and self-confidence, until the last second, until the last vote”, Al’s post concludes. Tsipras.
