“All the forces of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance will go united in the tough battle of the self-governing elections. This is the essence on which we must focus”, said the press representative of SYRIZA-PS, Gifts Augeri, speaking to Parapolitika 90.1 FM.

At the same time, on the occasion of the publication of the newspaper “Yeni Safak”, according to the relevant press release of SYRIZA, “he criticized the silence on behalf of the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs”, asking for answers. “Is the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs aware of the publication by “Yeni Safak” according to which Greece has stopped arming islands? If he knows it, does he deny it?” underlined.

Speaking of municipal elections, to the question of whether some people can blame the new president of the party for any negative result, Ms. Augeri emphasized that “the issue is, and it is also the big political dispute, that society should not be blamed. Society should not be charged for these choices.” “Let Thessaly not be charged for its choice to vote again for Agorastos, let Volos not be charged for its choice to vote again for Beo”, he commented. He noted that “the question is what choices local communities will make. With this in mind, Greek men and women should vote on Sunday. Because they vote for their lives and their daily lives.”

Asked about this, she said that Dimitris Kouretas (candidate regional governor in Thessaly) “is a remarkable scientist who has both experience and knowledge in local issues” and that “SYRIZA-PS supports every force and every effort that will promote changes in favor of everyday life of our fellow citizens – against neoliberal policies, and far-right, neofascist formations”.

Answering a question for the criticism of the ND against the president of SYRIZA PS, Mrs. Augeri commented that “the ND government has lost its compass with the storm of production of policy, substance and images by the official opposition”.

He added that “unfortunately the life of our fellow citizens is lifeless because of the policies of the ND but also those he supports in the local government”. “These images are highlighted by SYRIZA-PS, and Stefanos Kasselakis – while he has not even taken over the presidency of our party for ten days – has carried out numerous political and institutional interventions, as well as tours”, he underlined.

Regarding yesterday’s meeting between Mr. Kasselakis and Mr. Fili, he said that “it took place in a very good atmosphere. Mr. Filis, after the end of the meeting, answered me that “good people always have good discussions”. He added that Mr. Kasselakis and Philis “discussed the road map to the meeting of our collective bodies, but also the issues that the former minister managed in his portfolio”. “Let’s keep this, and also focus on the fact that we are four days before municipal and regional elections,” he said. The party’s spokeswoman specifically referred to the law on the formation of administrations at the local level with a percentage of 43%, noting that “there is widespread fear in the government staff and the blue factions that they will not succeed”.

In addition, he called on PASOK and Nikos Androulakis to take a stand for the candidacy of Spyros Hatzaras on the ballot papers of Yiannis Sgouros for the Region of Attica.

Mrs. Avgeri characteristicwith “high symbolism” the ongoing visit of the president of SYRIZA to CyprusWhen asked about the reference made by Mr. Kasselakis to a “state” in reference to the pseudo-state, he said: “Alas if people are defined by the mistakes they correct and not by their “beliefs” and their actions.”
