“The investment grade that Standard & Poor’s gave us will be advertised as ‘coveted’ by government propaganda. But desirable for whom, when it steps on the impoverishment of the citizens?” says Stefanos Kasselakis in his post on social media, commenting on the upgrade of the Greek economy by the rating agency.

“The investment class rests on the clay feet of a collapsing Health, an under-functioning Education, disintegrating public infrastructure, trampled labor rights, declining real income.

In the coming months, SYRIZA will find its pace – it is already listening and recording the “wants” of society – and, with its radical executive renewal, it will be the progressive proposal for independent governance.

Instead of artificial celebrations from the last positions of the European ranking in each sector, our choice is: For the Greek people to climb the Social Level.

To raise the state apparatus a notch. Let Health, Education, Justice, Transparency level up. To raise our standard of living a notch” says the president of SYRIZA.
