Mitsotakis: Mr. Tsipras remembered the elections to close his internal party wounds

by

The Prime Minister began his speech in Parliament with an attack on Alexis Tsipras, emphasizing that this is an awkward and dead-end motion of censure that highlights in practice his existential problem.

“1.5 months ago I predicted that the next bet is for SYRIZA to remain a second party instead of a third, and indeed its leader confirms me completely with an awkward and dead-end proposal of distrust that actually highlights its own existential problem. What else does this untimely initiative signify other than his desperate attempt to show that his space remains cluttered without his forces flocking to other parties? “And why did he now remember the elections that he rejected a few months ago, if not to close internal party wounds?”, Said Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Watch the Prime Minister’s speech live:

He stressed that once again Alexis Tsipras did what he knows well: To distort the truth by constructing a virtual reality of destruction. “Every sentence and two lies. “I have asked my colleagues to deconstruct one by one the lies you told today because you overcame your worst self,” he pointed out.

In the same context, he stated that “you did not fail to attack me with the well-known angry style with personal descriptions and to send divisive messages. You spoke of kneeling citizens begging you to rule again. “It is so, if you think so,” the prime minister pointed out.

Contrary to SYRIZA’s tactics, Mr. Mitsotakis stressed that the country is moving forward, emphasizing that neither lies nor other toxicity are needed.

“Citizens need realistic and creative thinking. Even when you insist on your election request, there was no mention of a convincing, comprehensive alternative. “Your speech was a malicious buzz of blind complaints,” he said characteristically.

He continued by emphasizing “what exactly is SYRIZA asking for? Condemn a democratically elected government to rule who? The one who for 2.5 years did not dare to hold a report on the causes of his defeat. He who has not changed any of the leaders of the leadership team, which was defeated by state. He who invokes as new a policy that has been condemned by the people as the hand-to-hand experience that the country has experienced since the change of government. This is not the first time that the official opposition has used parliamentary procedures to extract its internal problems.

Unprecedented crises during the two years of ND rule

The Prime Minister noted that this is not the first time you have reversed words to reverse reality. He used Shakespeare’s phrase “truth can be used as a soft glove that can be worn upside down. And the government is raising it not to respond to SYRIZA but to speak to the citizens about the real image of the country today. We do not have the mistakes of yesterday, but the challenges of today and the successes of tomorrow “.

As Mr. Mitsotakis said, all the actions of the government were developed in conditions of unprecedented crises without a recent historical precedent and institutional memory of managing such events, talking about the worst pandemic of the last 100 years and the biggest energy crisis of the last half century, but and for the extreme weather phenomena of Medea, Ianos, Elpida, earthquakes, fires, the hybrid attack on Evros by Turkey in March 2020 with the extreme instrumentalization of the refugee and the provocation in the Aegean.

“Lenin used to say that there are years when absolutely nothing happens and there are weeks that take years. Well, these weeks last nearly two years. We neither groan nor faint. Taking responsibility is for the difficult. “We managed to get through all these storms with the least possible losses,” he pointed out.

Bad weather management

As he said, the huge external challenges may have been difficult, but they did not change the country’s progress. “Greece is diplomatically and defensively stronger than ever, with society and the economy standing up to the outbreak of the coronavirus. Are we satisfied? I answer in the negative, but not because we are in the wrong direction, but because we do not all have the speed we need and this also applies to the problems we faced in the last snowstorm in Attica. I’m sorry that my apology was not understood by those who never learned it and never expressed it. It is not addressed to you, but to those who have suffered due to the operational inadequacy of the private sector and the organizational weakness of the state. “Those who are not accustomed to such practices should learn that apologizing to the prime minister is a political act.”

He clarified that such events should not be repeated and that the government has the courage to recognize its mistakes and proceed to the creation of a separate ministry, Climate Crisis and Civil Protection.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis pointed out the need for better coordination between the state and local government, the faster involvement of the army in such crises and the better formation of crisis management committees. “These are for those of us who make the lessons learned and serve them not on the basis of the cries of the party that has not found a word to say about the concessionaire. “Are you making a motion of censure that Attiki Odos did not close when in last year’s bad weather you blamed the government because it closed Athens Lamia?”, He noted.

Pandemic
In the battle with the cronovirus, the prime minister said that despite the heavy losses, the country is moving in the European averages, noting that in the severity of the Delta mutation, Greece was lagging behind in vaccinations.

“Today, thanks to the great efforts of the health world, 84% of adults are shielded. If we were at this percentage in September, we would have saved thousands of our fellow citizens. 91% over the age of 60 are shielded. “Slowly and steadily the cases seem to subside and the NSS responds to the pressure but we are not done with the pandemic”.

Finally, he stated that any failures do not nullify the huge work that has been done, as the ICUs more than doubled during the days of this government and from 560 that SYRIZA had delivered, now exceeded 1,100 and 12,000 health professionals were invited.

Novartis

Referring to the Novartis case, the prime minister spoke of the most miserable conspiracy of all time, spoke of a gang and an underworld that SYRIZA is embracing, and called on Tsipras to apologize.

“I do not have much to say about democracy with those who systematically targeted 120 top politicians. Not for the biggest scandal, as the infamous Rasputin of your time, your minister, used to say, but for the wretched conspiracy called Novartis that collapsed. With this underworld that fabricated fake elements, you are a hug. Two former prime ministers of ND, Mr. Samaras and Mr. Pikrammenos, 4 executives of our party were targeted in the context of the conspiracy. All cases were filed by Justice. When will you find the courage to apologize to them? Do it now if you have the courage. I interrupt my speech to apologize to them. You hung them on pegs in the most miserable conspiracy ever made. Sit now and lie down under the mask. Shame on you, shame on you, shame on you and you gave us sermons on the rule of law.
