The task we are called to serve is great but we must be optimistic. All the members of K.O., with camaraderie, we will stand up and work for the Greece that each and every Greek deserves. To turn our consistency and collegiality into wealth. Always guided by the interest of the social majority. Because we are united and inspired by timeless and universal values ​​such as justice, democracy, peace, solidarity, sustainability and initiative.”
