“I am not Androulakis, you should keep me with the EYP’s monitoring” said the president of SYRIZA in his keynote speech
The president of SYRIZA-PS launched a harsh and all-out attack on the government and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Stefanos Kasselakis from his main pre-election speech to the Constitution and called the voters to “a patriotic rally, a democratic rally, with a mass participation in the elections”.
Mr. Kasselakis made a brief review of his personal path since claiming his leadership SYRIZA, thanked the citizens for “your participation, for your struggle, for your support. For your love and your trust” and assured them: I am transparent before you. I’m never going to betray you.”
The president of SYRIZA recalled some of the phrases that the prime minister has said in Parliament to talk about the degeneration of political life: “|We count acres, you count corpses. There is no study that proves that intubated people outside the ICU die. You have you? Bring her! Is it possible for me to follow my ministers? Are you not ashamed that I staged the talks about the railway? I am ashamed.
In more detail, Mr. Kasselakis referred to the “attacks” he received in recent days on his assets, saying: “I never expected that such a black propaganda mechanism would be set up in a European state that attempts to crush, crush, to exterminate his political opponent. To get to the core of another’s soul. I lived it by publishing my assets. Such a lie Such an open line from Maximos and media representatives I never imagined in my life”.
Then he returned the fire saying: “From whom, friends and friends, did this happen? From Mahatma Gandhi of Greek politics? No! From Kyriakos Mitsotakis! From the family that was digging to plant and found ancient in their field. From the man who studied with means, entered the national bank with means, failed with means, took the family seat in the Parliament and comes to present himself as a respecter of the people having 39 properties with the salary of the MP, undeclared house, undeclared off shore and two whole years to present from where you know why he himself keeps the electronic platform closed!”.
Mr. Kasselakis also referred to the platform for the election that has not yet been opened: “I challenged him: He is the prime minister. With a phone call he can open the platform. I told him: Mr. Mitsotakis, open the electronic platform for 2023 let’s go let’s file our papers together tomorrow. Let’s see where your trolls and wigs are going to hide. And what is he doing now that we’re talking: He’s giving a three-month extension to the filing of 2023 – and The electronic platform will not open even on June 30. And I can safely ask: Is he hiding something or does he want to keep the Leader of the Opposition captive? They told you wrong I’m not Androulakis. You’re not keeping me from anywhere. It’s clear that their goal is to show that they’re not is. Their goal is to show that ‘everyone is the same’. Well, no. We’re not all scumbags. We are not all the same.”
He addressed the voters saying: “Let the Greek people choose, in the final analysis, what they want. Analgesia or a man with empathy. The dirty system or a man who stands alone against the dirty system. Support the one who stands against them that ravage your lives, if you want it to endure. Support me, if you want it to endure.”
He referred to the Tempe crash: “On the very night of the crash, someone orders the railroad conversations to be edited and given to the government’s official propaganda organ, First Issue. Why? To create a climate in public opinion that this is all about human mistake. And so that the Prime Minister can talk about human error in his speech.
I ASK: Who has the power in this country to order such an assembly? We want to know who! Who has the power in this country to order such a mess? We want to know who! Who has the power in this country to cover everything up so that the country’s two biggest political hearths remain untouched?”
He then assured: “The national crime of Tempe will not go unsolved. It is a commitment.”
He then referred to the accuracy: “The Greeks ended up having the emptiest wallet in the EU after Bulgaria.
SYRIZA doesn’t say that. Eurostat says so. Greek men and women ended up paying the most indirect taxes in the EU. after Sweden of three times the wages. This is neither global accuracy nor European. This is a government that has decided who it will go with and who it will leave: It chooses the speculators, it leaves the Greek people behind.”
He repeated the proposals of SYRIZA: “Against all this, SYRIZA took action. And it made a program for the accuracy which was costed by the General Accounting Office of the state at 2.7 billion, while it foresees revenues of 3.2 billion. With other words: We have the official stamp to proceed to:
0% VAT on essential goods for the duration of the accuracy crisis.
A maximum profit of 5% for the electricity companies, which are now preparing, in June, for an increase of up to 70%, because – the Prime Minister himself said as if he were a troll – “it didn’t blow enough in May”.
-Reduction of excise duty on fuel to the lowest rate in the EU.
Creation of “Teiresia” for those companies that are making a profit.
He also referred to his tax proposals that “lead to a positive redistribution of wealth: With tax reductions for 99% of individuals. With a tax reduction for 97% of businesses. With the abolition of advance tax and the horizontal measure that destroys freelancers with the imputed income”.
He promised that “We will bring back the 13th pension. It’s a matter of survival, it’s a matter of humanity and dignity.”
He accused the prime minister of “going to inspect Belharra, in order to ‘sell’ to his party audience the Belharra that he bought with the Greek people’s money. To show them after the bows to Erdogan, Rama’s walk, the embarrassment in the face of his challenges VMRO.
Even if he wins back some votes from the extreme right. I have made it clear that the modern patriotic Left wants a Greece that is strong defensively, because that is what the international circumstances require. But if he has money for belharra, you can’t ask “where will you find the money” when SYRIZA announces to you that there is enough money for the social program he announces”.
Mr. Kasselakis spoke about the importance of the European elections: “The European elections are not an official poll on the strength of the parties. In the EU, a large part of our common future is decided. We claim a European Union in which the European Parliament, the only its democratically elected institution, will play a pivotal role in decision-making We claim a European Union with strategic autonomy, with Eurobonds, with a structured and strong European defense.
He also referred to the criticality for the interior: “Sunday is the last chance. For the next three years there are no elections. We send the message ‘arrogance is over’ on Sunday. Then the post office closes for three years. It is the last chance to let’s say to Mr. Mitsotakis: We are here too. It’s not just you, your friends, the most bankrupt party in Europe. SYRIZA doesn’t owe a single one The party that owes half a billion to the banks is conducting the most expensive election campaign in Europe.
He underlined the importance of the change in political dynamics and the prospect of rebuilding the Center-Left: “If on Monday the ND has eaten just one electoral slap from what it gives to the citizens every day, everything will be different. If on Monday SYRIZA has emerged as an indisputable, strong official opposition of the country, everything will be different. The new great progressive party of the country will have risen.
And it will open its doors to all progressive citizens. From the Left of the Left to the Center Left and the Democratic Center. Even to the conservative citizens who can’t stand this rot any longer and want honesty and meritocracy. The government wants you to say “everyone is the same”, vote for no one and let them rule. With even greater arrogance. Only voting on Sunday sends the message. That is why it is time to give half an hour of our Sunday to the ballot box. Let’s ask the friend, the colleague, the fellow student, the neighbor to do it too. People with a democratic sensibility all together at the ballot box. Without us, nothing changes.”
