Citizens trust New Democracy to make their lives better in critical areas, such as safety, health, their education and their earnings, he stressed speaking to SKAI and the show Today, the parliamentary candidate with the ND in Fthiotida, Giannis Oikonomou.

“Citizens chose in the first electoral contest based on trust in a governance proposal, which guarantees the perspective they need. Citizens vote to make their lives better. Security, health, their education, their wages are the factors that will make their lives better in a troubled world and at the same time they want to see the Motherland have a clear, clean line in the international scene, with a strengthened geopolitical footprint . Much more so when we have in front of us a revisionist force, such as Turkey,” said Mr. Economou.

Mr. Economou then blamed the opposition for its stance on major national issues.

“We have an opposition, which on major issues concerning our country’s national issues – either directly or hybridly – the first thing on their mind is how to blame the country. From the first moment of the wreck, either by implication or direct accusations, SYRIZA officials – even Mr. Tsipras himself – could not find half a word to say about the smugglers before saying anything.

» It is nationally harmful to put water in the mill of those who want to accuse the country of tactics, which are not consistent with humanity and international law, either out of ignorance or out of opposition.

Does today’s and apparently tomorrow’s – the elections haven’t taken place – official opposition in Greece really believe that the country’s government is letting – or much worse, driving – people to drown? Are we serious? We have so many differences, but what exactly do they tell us?

Why don’t they speak plainly to the world to dismantle our own argument as well? Do they believe that ‘the Coast Guard strips people and drowns them’, the Official Opposition is telling the Greek people that those who voted for you with 41%, are letting people drown?” emphasized Mr. Economou.
