Theodora Tzakri’s statement about SYRIZA and the farmers caused a sensation, on the occasion of the farmers’ mobilizations.

The secretary of the K.O of the party attended a political event of SYRIZA in Veria and when asked why SYRIZA failed to get close to the rural world, she characteristically stated… “we generally drank him”.

“The truth is, as the peasants – according to the common saying – we drank it, didn’t we?” he initially stated and continued: “It’s a conservative class… We didn’t have seats? Didn’t they go to society? We don’t have executives? We don’t have executives.”

The disputed statement at 21:00:

“We didn’t do something very well”

He then asked how many farmers were in the room. “In a society where 80% of the economy is primary production, a party that currently has 100 people in one process, three cadres are farmers, something we did not do well at all.”

“I don’t know how well SYRIZA did in agricultural production. I want to say self-critically that he didn’t do great things either. He did not bring great policies. He tried within the framework of the memorandums to do an honest administration. I want to be honest with you, I don’t think we made any revolution. But tell me what the ND did for the rural world. I will not talk about the 50 years he ruled the country, but about the last 4 of his rule.”
