The president of PASOK-Movement for Change was a guest on the show “It’s not possible” (T/S Alpha) at noon on Saturday. Nikos Androulakis. On the occasion of the tragic shipwreck off Pylos, Mr. Androulakis referred to immigration-refugee where he underlined that “Europe must invest in the stability and prosperity of African states so that these people, who are moving because of the problems of climate change or fearing terrorist organizations like Boko Haram, can go to a neighboring country. And not to give thousands of euros to a slave trader and lose their lives either in the Sahara or in the Mediterranean. So, it is critical to create islands of stability within Africa. There is no other way to deal with the problem.”

As for him the role and responsibilities of the EU, Mr. Androulakis noted: “Europe, in its institutional part, must become fairer. You cannot say that only the country where someone submits an asylum application is responsible for granting it, so Greece or Italy. We, as socialists, propose that when someone enters Europe, the asylum application should be made in all the countries of the European Union. In cases where the crisis is positive, there should be a permanent resettlement mechanism for all countries based on criteria of population, economic situation, unemployment, so that there are no social tensions.”

The president of PASOK-KINAL characterized mocking the celebration of the New Republic for the proposal of the European Council regarding the revision of “Dublin III”. “In the text of the European Council, the relocation mechanism for the entire European Union concerns 30,000 people, when last year 960,000 applications were submitted. Well, Europe is doing the minimum in terms of solidarity towards the first admission countries. Therefore, it wants another management model both institutionally and geopolitically” emphasized Nikos Androulakis.

On the discussion of possible operational liabilities he reiterated how “the responsible minister should say exactly what Greece’s actions were from the moment the government became aware of the specific life-threatening situation of these people so that in the internal field of politics, there is no confrontation that does injustice to our country , but also to answer the questions posed by international media. Citizens must be informed from official lips.”

Nikos Androulakis expressed his anxiety “that Greece does not slip into the hands of maintenance, disrespect of institutions. And this is not a personal matter, it is a patriotic matter, it is a matter of principles and values”on the occasion of the wiretapping case.

“I want the Greek people to know one thing: I am not going to accept behaviors that insult the country and the faction. And I’m not going to put water in my wine on that one. I know very well that there is a crisis of credibility of the Greek people – and especially the younger generations – regarding politics. They consider parties to be purely clientelistic, philandering mechanisms. How some always want to sit in a chair. With my presence, with my work, with my public behavior, with my choices, I want to prove that there is another path, a new political ethos” emphasized Mr. Androulakis.

“I find it unthinkable that parties have online gangs to deconstruct the political opponent and spread fake news. I felt it in my skin with the wiretapping case. Some people from the New Republic called me an “agent of China and Turkey” and after months Mr. Mitsotakis came out and said: “It was not a national danger”. He didn’t say it, however, when the parastatal internet systems controlled by the New Democracy insulted my political status. And on the other hand, Mr. Tsipras was saying: “he is caught”, “he will get along with New Democracy because they are holding him with wiretapping”. And finally, it turned out that I, with my struggle, am fighting against conservation, while he himself, with his political discourse and strategy, was a “golden” sponsor of New Democracy” concluded .
