From the crowded Eleftheria Square in his hometown, Heraklion, Crete, Nikos Androulakis closed the election campaign of PASOK-Movement of Change by speaking to a crowded and enthusiastic gathering of friends and voters of his party.

A gathering that, as reported by PASOK-KINAL staff members, had the atmosphere of earlier gatherings, certifying its dynamics in view of Sunday’s ballot by sending the message:

“On Sunday, June 25, we have only one choice: To win!»

He added characteristically: “On June 25, the real opponent of New Democracy is reborn. PASOK will be the force that will send Mr. Mitsotakis to the opposition. We will again, step by step, become the majority current in Greek society. We have a duty to reverse the associations that have divided our people and disappointed them.

To break the mechanism of fear and choice with the sole criterion of “non-optimal». It is time for the new modern Center Left.

This is our historical debt at the polls on June 25: From here, from Crete, let the river of Victory begin. No more 4 wasted years with a government whose arrogance will grow day by day. And an ineffective opposition. Toxic, irresponsible, without a vision for the country, acting as a golden sponsor of the New Democracy. This is the battle of PASOK.

It is the battle to have a strong credible opposition. A strong opponent of conservation, a strong opponent of the government of the New Democracy”.

Mr. Androulakis called on progressive citizens, whatever party they voted for in the previous elections, to “let’s walk together with humanity in the face of cynicism, with seriousness in the face of arrogance, with confidence in the face of uncertainty and with responsibility in the face of unreliability.” as he said and added: “Let’s make a decision to change together. A decision of social justice and national dignity. I invite you to take the effort into your own hands. Let’s all fight house-house, neighborhood-neighborhood in every city of the country until the last hour. There are only a few days left to achieve what our opponents thought impossible. To make our movement, the Democratic Party, a protagonist again. A genuine exponent of the anguish and dreams of the Greek people. The real opponent of conservation. The real opponent of worthlessness The real opponent of injustice“, thus expressing his optimism about the result of the ballot box. On the occasion of today’s 27th anniversary of the death of Andreas Papandreou, Nikos Androulakis said that he was the leader who reformed Greece.

He accused New Democracy of identifying itself with stability and responsibility, but it is deeply untrustworthy and he invoked the cheap benefit policy, as he said, the responsibilities for the accident in Tempe, the deconstruction of the National Social Security System and the undermining of institutions.

“Mr. Mitsotakis promises 25% increases in private sector wages in New Democracy commercials, but in Brussels he commits to increases of only 13%. As Mr. Skylakakis revealed, there is no “Messiah”. Unfairly, some people were waiting for Mr. Mitsotakis in the streets“, said the president of PASOK-KINAL, adding that he deceives the citizens and despises the real problems of the Greek people.

The attack of the president of PASOK-Movement of Change against SYRIZA was fierce, to which he attributed that “he denied all the easy promises he made just to gain power. Seismicism turned into a tradition of borrowers in funds They played with the institutions and attacked the independent authorities».

“Leave the field free to New Democracy. He did not hesitate to tarnish the values ​​of the left by fishing in the murky waters of the supposedly misguided Golden Dawn voters. Mr. Tsipras adopted the pre-election slogan “Justice everywhere», but on the ballots he has – despite the 13-0 conviction by the Special Court – his close associate, Mr. Pappa. Mr. Tsipras, you managed to make the New Democracy powerful and the progressive world of the country will not forgive you for that“, underlined Mr. Androulakis.

He explained the main axes of the PASOK-KINAL program, for Education, meritocracy, the field of Labor, strongly criticizing the ND for increasing the public debt by approximately 50 billion euros in the four years and leading to a sharp increase in the external balance deficit transactions.

“Against these dead-end policies of the New Democracy, we propose the development of Made in Greece, by redirecting the priorities of the Recovery Fund on the basis of a National Development Plan, which will promote the production“, write down .

He spoke about the inflation of speculation which the ND favors with its policy, while emphasizing that PASOK guarantees the big changes that the state needs, as it did with Diaygeia, the strengthening of independent authorities and the de-partisanship of the state with the choice of the Administrations organizations and Hospitals with an open international competition and a five-year term.

Nikos Androulakis on the issues of Health and Social Security and pledged how PASOK, which founded the National Health System, is the one that can regenerate it, a strong Primary Health Care system, allocation of 8-10% of the Recovery Fund’s resources, coverage of all vacancies in staff with permanent recruitment and inclusion of health workers in the heavy and unhealthy.

He made a special mention and in high tones about the bad loans and the attempt to stigmatize the representative of the party and State candidate, Dimitris Mantzou, criticizing the opportunistic attitude of SYRIZA, as he said.

“In the last hours, in his panic, the President of SYRIZA is trying to wash away his responsibilities. Your opportunism has been condemned, Mr. Tsipras, but you remain unrepentant. He is trying to offset a law practice out of the thousands that young lawyers do, with the Patsis scandal, who had a collection company and bought loans of 62.7 million euros for only 4.3 million. But he also wants to offset his own responsibilities, as he was which delivered loans of the Greek people worth 90 billion euros to the funds. It opened the back door for cooperative loans, like here in Heraklion, families and small and medium-sized businesses. He was the one who shamelessly voted against when PASOK introduced the law for the protection of the first home in 2010. Do you need another proof why you were and will be the golden sponsor of ND?»

He went even further by calling Mr. Tsipras a “champion of hypocrisy”, Nikos Androulakis underlined.
