“70% of the laws originate from the European Parliament”, the ND MEP said to SKAI and on the show “Kalimera” with Giorgos Autias Vangelis Meimarakis.

Mr. Meimarakis pointed out that “from the first moment of 23, we are the party that supported the primary sector, farmers, breeders, fishermen, beekeepers. And we want them by our side. The main goal of the EPP is that we must ensure self-sufficiency and autonomy of food, produced by us, for European citizens.”

Referring to the policy exercised by Al. Tsipras, Mr. Meimarakis emphasized: “In Europe he has been recorded as a black sheep because he went to get us out in 2015 with the referendum he did. The referendum was held to convey his own decision to the people. He had to make the decision. And in order not to make the decision, which he was afraid of, he held a referendum that he thought would give him a “yes” vote.

“That is the strategic criminal mistake against the country, if we did not back down the ND and the other opposition parties. There was also his own strategic mistake because he united us all against him and since then SYRIZA began to disappear. We were afraid that at any moment the drachma might explode in our hands, but we had, without hesitation, a sense of responsibility to keep the country in Europe. It couldn’t be done otherwise,” he added.

“A disorderly retreat, with closed banks, would have destroyed the country. We ate 100 billion fesi, we ate from we will tear up the memorandums with a law and an article”, noted Mr. Meimarakis.
