“This is the first time that a motion of censure has been tabled, not because the government has a problem with society and citizens, but because the official opposition has a problem with society and citizens,” said Education Minister Niki Kerameos. The real reason, which pushed the official opposition to use the most powerful parliamentary weapon at its disposal, is despair.
“Polls show you are falling, your voters are flirting and you are in danger of finding a third party. You are in despair and trying to reverse the reality,” said Ms. Kerameos, noting that what the main opposition party claims about Education is typical. of this mentality. As he said, ten days ago SYRIZA said that the reason why the schools are opened is because we do not have the possibility of distance learning.
“Absurdity in all its glory”, he remarked and stated the three reasons that SYRIZA invokes the proposal of distrust towards the government, the pandemic, the accuracy and the management of the bad weather, emphasizing that everyone is removed from the reality itself .
As the Minister of Education characteristically stated “SYRIZA proposes distrust for mismanagement of the pandemic in a government that more than doubled the beds in the intensive care units, strengthened the NSS with an additional 14,000 doctors and nurses, gave incentives to individuals, proceeded to deal with the unprecedented health crisis with the consequence that the NSS can withstand and cope with these difficult conditions “.
Regarding the reason for dealing with the accuracy cited by SYRIZA, Ms. Kerameos stressed that it is obvious that this is not the reason as the government has allocated 1.75 billion to deal with the effects of the energy crisis in addition to the 43 billion spent to address the economic impact of the pandemic and the overall support of citizens. “What kind of lack of financial support and what kind of economy are you talking about, you who set up an entire country in the queues of banks for 60 euros. These are the owners of SYRIZA,” she said, addressing the official opposition wing.
Referring to the third reason, cited by SYRIZA in the motion of censure, that of failure to deal with bad weather, Ms. Kerameos noted that she forgets that as many times as the government was called to face crises, the consequences were tragic with loss of life. “We do not abdicate our responsibilities like you. In the unprecedented intensity of bad weather, the coordination and efficiency was not what it should have been. “Better cooperation and more effective response. The bar is high and society has high demands on us and we will always try to meet,” he said.
Regarding her area of ​​responsibility, the Minister of Education accused SYRIZA of being annoyed by the fact that during the bad weather in those areas where schools could not be taught live, the distance learning process operated with the massive participation of the educational community and with a smooth transition. He cited as an example the lessons of yesterday, during which e-learning was applied at a rate of 98.4% in the closed sections. To this end, the Minister thanked the educational community for its consistency and adaptability. He also blamed SYRIZA for adding another inaccuracy when he claimed that the ministry insisted on not closing schools on Mondays and Tuesdays, while the local government has the power to decide on schools in times of bad weather. “The schools were well closed and the distance learning was well implemented,” he said, concluding by blaming the official opposition for the permanent denial, saying that when the schools are closed they want them closed, the schools are closed and they want them open.
Finally, the Minister of Education, when she came under fire from the opposition, responded regarding the withdrawal of the controversial video of the Greek prenatal education company that she intervened to be recalled when it was found that she had to retire, while clarifying that it was not a mandatory program program.
It was preceded by strong criticism from the parliamentary representative of SYRIZA, Ev. Tsakalotos, Nadia Giannakopoulou from KINAL and Thanasis Pafilis from the KKE, who accused the ministry of obscurantist and medieval perceptions with a focus on the content of this video.
