“In these elections, the truth won, common sense won, unity won”, the new government representative Pavlos Marinakis said to SKAI and on the show “Kalimera” with Giorgos Autias.

“If one could remember a typical phrase that described what we experienced on the other side, it was what former minister Ms. Ahtsioglou had said, normalcy is never an opportunity for the left. Greece began to return, with many difficulties, with great sacrifices of the citizens, with patience but also with concrete reforms”, noted the government representative.

Asked to comment on the resignation of Alexis Tsipras from the presidency of SYRIZA, Mr. Marinakis emphasized: “The result of the elections was so great and honorable that it shaped the balance, so strong was the mandate that the citizens gave to Kyriakos Mitsotakis that our only concern is to implement our program, continue to solve problems and continue to stand by the citizens, whether they voted for us or not. Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the Prime Minister of all Greeks, this is our goal. There is neither time nor room to have a confrontation in the internal party of another party, which we absolutely respect”.
“From there on, because history is not good to repeat itself, we hope together with Mr. Tsipras that the bilingualism of SYRIZA and the toxicity will leave”, added Mr. Marinakis pointing out that Alexis Tsipras “did not put in his place none of the party officials who spoke toxicly”.

Also, the government representative underlined that “We paid very dearly for the upper and lower square. We are following the developments in SYRIZA as the second-ranking party. For us, such a procedure would have been done four years ago at least. In the ND there is a logic, Kyriakos Mitsotakis has also said so. Whoever loses is out. And in fact, we also have direct intra-party procedures, internal criticism. We will not teach the other parties. We will deal with our house and the very heavy program we have and the many obligations we will implement”.
