The way in which SYRIZA is attacking the Coast Guard, on the occasion of the shipwreck outside of Pylos, was described as unethical by the candidate for Member of Parliament B3 South Athens Sector of the ND and former minister, Takis Theodorikakos.

Speaking to SKAI and on the show “Morning” with George Autias, Mr. Theodorikakos noted that “in the last few days amid the electoral desperation of SYRIZA, we see a political discourse unfolding on his part that provokes the Greek people”, stressing that the tragic shipwreck took place in international waters and that the coast guard officers did their best and rescued more than 100 migrants.

“We see SYRIZA attacking in an immoral way. These people bleed every day. Just as SYRIZA and Mr. Tsipras attacked the Greek Police last summer in our own country, with the lies about the famous 5-year-old little Maria, who never existed, they are now attacking the officers of the Coast Guard. The officers of the Coast Guard, as well as the officers of the Police at our borders, at sea and on land, are there to guard them. Because there are borders. The Greek border will never again become a wild vine like it was under SYRIZA, where a million illegal immigrants crossed. They are there to uphold International Law and protect human lives. Our Police and Coast Guard have saved thousands of people. Because our first concern is the protection of human life”

In response to a question about the Fence on the Evros, he said that it will continue and be completed within three years in the length of 140 kilometers so that our borders will become inaccessible.

“It is sad that SYRIZA says that it is proud of its immigration policy, when 75% of the immigrants who went to Europe passed through Greece. The worst of all is that these people give us a show of humanity. Those who built Moria and Idomeni with 5,000 unaccompanied and unprotected children? We guard our borders, we enforce International Law, we protect human lives. That’s what the Coast Guard did. This is what the Greek Police do. This is what the Greek state is doing. And this is an additional reason that I believe that the Greeks, with their massive participation next Sunday, will give an even greater victory to the ND and to Kyriakos Mitsotakis, because a strong self-reliance is a condition of stability and security for the country”.

Concluding, Mr. Theodorikakos estimated that ND will have a new increase in its percentages next Sunday.
