“Greece has paid very dearly for the logic of “there is money”. We paid for it with ten-year memoranda and a 25% reduction in GDP,” the ND MP from Chania said on Friday. Dora Bakoyannis, during a press conference he granted to journalists in Heraklion.

Mrs. Bakoyannis, speaking about the measures proposed by Stefanos Kasselakis and SYRIZA-PS, noted that “we have not learned as a political system from this terrible adventure that has passed” and that as far as New Democracy is concerned “we are not willing to enter and be drawn into such a logic, because if there is one thing we have sworn to the Greek people, it is that such an adventure as the country went through with the memorandums, which was due to its budget being blown up, will never happen again”.

“I heard Mr. Kasselakis say that he will give a 13th and 14th pension, 13th and 14th salary to the public. As soon as Mr. Kasselakis explains to us which button he will press to print euros, I will be particularly happy” commented Mrs. Bakoyannis.

Dora Bakoyannis also mentioned, in view of the European elections in June, that only the ND talks about Europe, commenting as she pointed out on the proposals of the other parties concerning the daily life of the Greeks “forgetting that we have European elections” clarifying that the country apart from a strong government ” a strong opposition is also needed.”

Regarding the battle of the upcoming European elections, Dora Bakoyannis noted that it is important, as “Europe and therefore our own home, faces too many risks,” and that “the decisions that must be taken are extremely important”, while calling on the citizens of Crete to realize the importance of the elections, explaining that “the future will depend on this European Parliament and on the negotiating power it will have Kyriakos Mitsotakis to claim again for our country”.

With regard to the critical decisions that make voting in the European elections important, Mrs. Bakoyannis referred, among other things, to the economy, to farmers and their income, but also to the importance of the issue of defense which, as she said, is coming very dynamically, repeating the proposal of Mr. Mitsotakis and the Polish Prime Minister, for the “defense dome” which, as he pointed out, is of particular importance for Greece and Crete in terms of security, given the existence of a “neighbor who many times , is extremely unpredictable.”

Dora Bakoyannis also referred to the accuracy, saying that the goal is “the purchasing power of the Greeks to reach at some point at the average European level” commenting that this will be done, yet repeating the overwhelming difficulties the country went through and the disaster it emerged from.

“We want much faster rates, so that the purchasing power of the Greeks can really respond to this problem,” said Mrs. Bakoyannis, also speaking about what the Prime Minister said today in the Parliament.

“The Prime Minister today in Parliament was detailed and explained everything. In my opinion he explained it well, so that the citizens know that they have a prime minister o who does not live in a glass world, but he lives exactly the reality of the Greeks and fights with real means and not by putting any dynamite in the economy” said Dora Bakoyannis, who repeated that “it is not possible from one day to the next to press a button and give what everyone will we wanted, a doubling of wages”.

Mrs. Bakoyannis, with the focus on the projects worth billions, as she said, a reality is taking shape in Crete that had never existed in the past. “What is happening today in Crete is something unprecedented, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis as prime minister” he said, adding that “regardless of whether the Cretans have any complaints, seeing the big picture they will give him the power again, to bring even more money from Europe, which we need” added the MP of Chania.

At the offices of the DEEP (NODE) ​​of Heraklion, Ms. Bakoyannis was received and welcomed by the president Vangelis Karkanakis, while present at the press conference was the Member of Parliament member of the Executive Secretariat of the ND Kostas Giannoulakis.
