Stefanos Kasselakis launched a harsh attack on the government and the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis
A harsh attack on the government and the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and an appeal to the voters to put an end to the multi-division of the progressive space by strengthening SYRIZA-PS, the party president made from Kalamata, Stefanos Kasselakis.
Mr. Kasselakis asked the people of SYRIZA to come to the front line “so that we as a society can make the big turn. From fear to perspective. From stagnation that was baptized stability, to progress and perspective”.
Exercise criticism of the ND deconstructing the central pre-election slogan: ‘Standingly closer to Europe’ is the slogan of the ND in these European elections. Two lies – one slogan! Two in one! Lie one: Closer to Europe! While Greece is moving away from the core of the E.U. more and more.
First in corruption. First in patients who due to distance, money or a long waiting list cannot have treatment at the NHS. Last country in purchasing power. Sorry, penultimate! We pass Bulgaria.
Second in indirect taxes after Sweden of three times the wages. In everything good we are Last. In all evil we are First. Is this the “closest to Europe”? Or is “closer to Europe” being condemned by the EU? for the first time after the Junta: For the poor quality of the rule of law, for the wiretapping, for covering up the Tempes.
And here we come to the second big lie: Stability. Stability in what?
Think about what has remained constant in our lives for the last 5 years, Crime is on the rise. The Greek Mafia threshes. Supermarket prices are rising every week. Rent eats up the salary. Public Health is collapsing. The citizen is more and more alone and unprotected. Backwards stability”.
But he also referred to Foreign Policy: “Truth: Do you feel proud when Erdogan, to welcome the prime minister, turns the Hora Monastery in Istanbul into a mosque, while to say goodbye he now sends a research vessel to Imia? Do you feel proud when the Turkish president welcomes the Greek Prime Minister? proud when the Albanian prime minister threshes the country and attacks every day with statements against Greece? Do you feel proud when the Greek prime minister becomes – in a recital of deception – a Macedonian supplicant, begging North Macedonia to respect to the letter an agreement, which is supposed to didn’t he like it?”
Continuing his attack on the government, he said: “They are ruthless. Their overweapon in the media has made them ruthless, where they can determine for themselves what will be a lie and what will be the truth. Of course the Prime Minister has found a solution for Accuracy: He now reads the honor 6.28 a slice, he says, for half a kilo of bread, for half a liter of petrol. But we don’t want a whole life.
He accused the prime minister of arrogance: “This arrogance is sweeping the country today. And it shows from the very important, to the small, the everyday.
-It can be seen from the way his guards yesterday forcibly removed seven children who went to his gathering to ask for only one thing: Justice for Tempi.
-It can be seen in the video that went viral, where a grandmother tells him that she cannot live on a 440 euro pension and 300 euro rent, and he answers her: “Yes, if you have rent it is not possible” and tries to avoid her.
He referred to the election at stake for Europe and for Greece: “For all of Europe, these European elections are the battle between progress and the far-right turn. For us in Greece, these elections are at the same time the LAST CHANCE for the citizens to cut down on the arrogance of the government. After , for three years there are no more elections in the country. If you don’t send them the message of ARROGANCE NOW, you will live in an arrogance desert for the next three years. With an uncontrolled prime minister, with an uncontrolled Hatzidakis, with an uncontrolled Boridis. So it’s now or never.”
Next, it was mentioned in the “crime of Tempe” saying: “What is being done with the crime of Tempe is unprecedented. They find people’s limbs dumped in the fields and no one speaks. A vast media silence to support a prime minister who feeds a whole propaganda system. It is but my personal commitment to the families of the victims. WE WILL NEVER FORGET”.
He then asked for SYRIZA’s support, criticizing the other parties of the left and center-left: “Democracy needs – at least – two strong poles. That’s why I ask you not only to weaken ND, but to decisively strengthen SYRIZA. Let ND feel the Don’t expect solutions from elsewhere. Neither from parties that have financial dependencies, nor from “top-level partnerships” that are not attracted. Nor from supposedly progressive politicians who love the Palestinian people. get up from their chair, to support, to say: Cease fire now. You will put an end to all the scenarios. You will define what it will be the political force around which the great progressive faction that will face the ND in the next national elections will be built. The choice is SYRIZA, the only party independent of interests”.
Answer the objections about the economic program of SYRIZA: “The SYRIZA program for Accuracy, fully costed by the General Accounting Office of the State: Cost: 2.7 billion. Counterweight: Extraordinary contribution to the excess profits of banks, refineries and energy companies. Revenue: 3.2 billion. half a billion in the state coffers.
And to end once and for all the fairy tale “where will you find the money”: Those who have a lot will pay a lot”.
He also responded to lifestyle criticism: “What do they have to oppose? Just a piece of candy: ‘Oh, Kasselakis is a lifestyle’. The prime minister who makes ND shoes, who wears funny hats and skateboards bass and speaks to young people, accuses me of lifestyle. But I’m young, I’m not pretending to be. And I’m not pretending to be someone else.”
He explained his stance: “Even on a lifestyle show, even on a non-political show you can get your message across. We’re in 2024. I’m here on 2024’s terms. In any context, in any environment, my message is one: humanity, solidarity, transparency, hope, the possibility of a better life for all”.
Finally, he appealed to the members of SYRIZA: “That’s why that day wants us all at the ballot box. Pick up the phones. Talk about the program of SYRIZA.
Mobilize relatives, friends, colleagues, acquaintances. The others have millions of euros – no one knows where they are – to spend on advertising on any site you click on. We have each other.
This is our surplus value.”
