Explanations for the statement he made yesterday to SKAI and the show “Good morning”, according to which if there was no left in Greece, we would have cheap electricity, he posted on Facebook, the Adonis Georgiades.
In his on air confrontation with the SYRIZA executive, Harry Theocharopoulos, over the price of electricity, the Minister of Development claimed that even during SYRIZA, Greece did not have cheap electricity, provoking the reaction of Thanasis Theocharopoulos and the KINAL MP, who replied that they never electricity was so expensive on average.
“Mr. Avtia, was the electricity cheaper during SYRIZA? No! “, Mr. Georgiadis stated characteristically and continued, in high tones:
“Greece has an expensive current in Europe because the Left, over time, has blocked all progress projects. Because you are destroyers of the country. Whatever is going to be good, go and block it. One life, one life you moan, one life you stop the works and then you criticize us. If there was no Left at all in Greece, we would have cheap electricity. We would have done all the work. You do not leave us “, the Minister of Development replied to Th. Theocharopoulos, among others, angrily.
Then in a Facebook post he explained what exactly he meant.
His post in detail:
“If there was no Left…”
This morning, being on the show of George Avtias on SKAI TV, I had an intense dialogue with Mr. Theocharopoulos from Syriza. There, among other things, he accused me of the fact that Greece is often among the countries with the highest electricity prices in Europe. Then I said to him the phrase: “if it were not for the Left we would certainly have cheaper electricity… etc” this has caused a great deal of discussion and is one of the first comments on Twitter.
On this occasion, I would like to express my concern here about how the Left and the way it behaves, in my opinion, certainly harms our economic progress.
So let’s take the prices of electricity, for example, why do not we have cheaper prices today? Because very simply large infrastructure projects of the past that would have offered, among other things, large amounts of cheap electricity, have stopped the reaction of the Left. Does the Acheloos dam remind you of anything? Apart from its utility for water supply, it would also have large hydroelectric projects, but the permanent refugees in the CoE have stopped and now we are deprived, even though the State has spent millions.
Can you calculate how much cheap electricity we have lost and are losing every day from it alone? What about the environment? They almost cared about the environment. Now to oppose they are defending lignite (which is now completely economically unprofitable). They never cared about the environment, they basically care about the reaction to everything.
See what happened in the summer, Greece was burning and they started and spread conspiracies that we put the fires to make wind farms. Show me a wind farm in Greece, anywhere, that even some leftists in the area did not go against by any means. But also in the extraction of domestic fossil fuels that the various leftists were not opposed to every step in Kavala, in Epirus and everywhere. In all reaction.
Reaction to dams, reaction to wind, reaction to minerals, reaction to everything and everything and then reaction because we have expensive electricity… ..
Do you find me excessive? The most classic example. Costa Navarino. When the late Konstantakopoulos decided to spend a huge fortune to invest in his place of origin, the entire Left of Messinia and beyond went to the CoE against him. 27 years of courts did it to prevent him from doing something that finally, now that it happened, changed the fate of half of the Peloponnese. And of course he had the appetite to fight to the end, but how many investors do you think would have or have the same appetite.
In the Double Regeneration at the Botanical Garden, when it was ready to be done and voted by a huge majority in the Parliament, they went again to the CoE (Tsipras’s municipal party in particular) and stopped the project. When he finally won the investor had already gone bankrupt due to the delay and we are trying to finish it now 14 years later.
I could talk to you for hours about how in every but really in every investment in every project I remember, “Elliniko”, “airport in Spata”, “Attiki Odos” “Fraport”, at the Niarchos Foundation in Syggrou etc but really in everything in everything they were always fiercely opposed and in every way.
Even any ancient finds that are somewhere, are always used by some leftists not to highlight them but to prevent on this occasion the project (see eg Thessaloniki metro and how much reaction we had there) or any investment. I have come to the conclusion that most archaeologists are leftists not because they like the ancients but because I found this way to fight capitalism and our economic progress. So in any investment, instead of the discovery of ancient finds causing joy for the discovery, it is treated by everyone as a big problem thinking how much battle they will have to fight to highlight them but to be able to continue any of their investments.
I can not count how much money and time this country has lost by saying no to everything.
The best thing is that then they snatch the dissatisfaction of the people from the consequences of their own reaction.
What surprises me most every day is that while they are always not at all, they do not want any change, no work, they only have their minds on rallies, riots, misery, then they call themselves “progressive” while we are all others supposedly “conservative” or “backward”. This is the biggest paranoia in all this.
Closing obviously to all that I mean by the term Left in this article, I do not mean PASOK. PASOK may have been beaten or it was something like this at the beginning of its history and it may have made its mistakes, but in the end it also evolved into a party that in its own way contributed positively to the development of the country and its European course, I am referring to the political space beyond that which is always and always opposed to everything.
Given that many fellow citizens identify themselves as Leftists (and their right obviously) it would be a great benefit for Greece and for all of us to be able to convince them to stop being opposed to everything and to find good ways of communication. I confess, however, that I am not so optimistic that we will succeed, whenever again the ideological battle for the supremacy of logic remains what is required.
