“The contact with the people all over Greece fills me with optimism that the PASOK and on June 9 he will be on the winning side, whether we compare the percentage we will receive with that of the last national elections or with the European elections”, says the president of PASOK-KINAL in an interview with the Editors’ Newspaper. Nikos Androulakis. At the same time, he points out how “my goal is not just to strengthen our rates. We want to be in second place, so that this rise paves the way for a strong government choice, which will put an end to the arrogance and authoritarianism of the government of the New Democracy”.

The president of PASOK-KINAL argues that the paper of instability that Kyriakos Mitsotakis is trying to use is a dry blackmail that not only reveals his arrogance but also despises simple logic.

Mr. Androulakis states that by voting for PASOK on June 9, you are giving strength to Social Democracy to fight for better days throughout the Union. “Our slogan expresses this exact expectation. Citizens after a ten-year economic crisis had expectations that we will move into the era of convergence. However, the New Democracy anchors us in a society of low expectations and constantly distances us, politically, economically, socially, from European normality. We do not deserve to be last in the Eurozone and penultimate in Europe of 27 in terms of purchasing power, above only Bulgaria. We don’t deserve to have the second highest private health expenditure, behind only Bulgaria again. We do not deserve our children to have the worst results in PISA tests. We deserve much more and with PASOK we can achieve it”, he emphasizes.

He makes an opening to the citizens, whether they had supported SYRIZA in the past or, fearing the worst, turned to the New Democracy, while repeating that after the European elections, he will undertake the necessary initiatives for the reconstruction of the progressive space, based on a specific political plan which will it is the basis for our government program tomorrow. “This call is open to all progressive and democratic citizens and political spaces that we have common concerns. Neither personal strategies nor lifestyle practices are included, on the contrary seriousness, knowledge of the issues, reliability and consistency of words and actions are required. A strong PASOK on June 9 will be able to start the necessary processes and unite those who are positioned from the progressive center to the Left and the ecological movement”, he underlines.
