On the main topic concerning the discussions Mitsotakis – Erdogan spoke the government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis speaking on the show “Mismatches” on SKAI.

Transferring what the Prime Minister said in his speech to the UN General Assembly, “Greece’s permanent position which is identical to that of Cyprus speaks of illegal invasion and occupation” adding that “under no circumstances can we accept the solution of the states” and stressing that it is “at the core of the claims to find a solution in accordance with the decisions of the UN Security Council for a bizonal federal republic”.

“That’s clear,” the government spokesman added “essential patriotism is done with actions, with specific references where it makes sense mainly outside the borders” to meaningfully add how “not like some who show a lot of patriotism inside the borders and when they go outside they show the opposite”.

For the next day in SYRIZA Mr. Marinakis noted that “I hope we get a non-toxic opposition, not to have confrontations for example over the alleged abolition of 8 hours, to agree on the basics and disagree seriously”.

For immigration, he emphasized that the issue was also raised by the prime minister at the UN as there is pressure. “The issue needs to be tackled holistically, the network of traffickers needs to be hit,” he said.

Subsequently, the government representative argued that there is no question of restructuring, when in fact, he argued that it is a global problem and referred to income increases, tax reductions, while also referring to the measures announced by Mr. Skrekas to crack down on profiteering.
