The assurance that will support farmers and will boost the primary sector gave the president of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, Stefanos Kasselakisduring his speech to citizens of AAlexandria Imathia.

The export nature of primary production is a bet for Greece, he said and pledged that:

– ELGA will remain in the public sector and will be strengthened.

– SYRIZA-PS will stand by the beet producers to return sugar production to Greece.

“Farmers are taking a very big risk and the State must be by your side so that you can survive Climate Change,” Mr. Kasselakis emphasized, addressing the citizens of Alexandria, and continued: “You may not know me well, but you know something I know you. I know what you’re after, I know that justice you want in your everyday life, I know the dignity you deserve in your everyday life and you will literally have direct contact with the leadership of the party and together we will provide solutions to the Greek people. We are here for you.”

The president of SYRIZA-PS walked along the central pedestrian street of Alexandria, greeted citizens sitting in cafes, chatted with them and took pictures with people of various ages who rushed to meet him.

He then headed to a cafe outside which citizens had gathered who welcomed him with applause and spoke to them about the problems of the rural world. He reminded them, in fact, that before the parliamentary elections he had visited Veria and Naoussa, together with Alexis Tsipras, and then they had become the recipients of the farmers’ protests against the government regarding the issue of compensations. On the tour in Alexandria, Mr. Kasselakis was accompanied by MP Theodora Tzakri, former MP Angelos Tolkas and party officials.
