At yesterday’s election rally Stefanou Kasselakis the government representative referred to the Constitution, Pavlos Marinakis, who, regarding the content of the SYRIZA president’s speech, characteristically commented “the student managed to surpass teacher Polakis in toxicity and populism”.

Speaking to and to Dimitris OIkonomou and Akis PavlopoulosPavlos Marinakis pointed out that Kasselaki’s rhetoric “returns us to the darkest pages of the memorandums and the crisis, adding that “the opposition is trying with rhetoric and maximalist proposals to bring back the “left trees” and the causes that led to the ten-year memorandum crisis” .

“41% is not arrogance, but a popular verdict that is evaluated every day”

Asked about her abstention and the large percentage of undecideds, Mr. Marinakis considered it reasonable that 36% should come from the first party, clarifying that the National Elections are one thing and the European Elections another, to then add:

“From the 2023 elections, we were elected with 41%. This is the popular verdict that is evaluated every day during this four-year period. It is not arrogance, but a choice of the world, which calls us to face the pathologies of decades. Let me remind you of our reforms with the non-state universities, the postal vote, the new logic in the stadiums, the modernization of the National Social Security System. People tell us to “run faster”. On election night, we want the result to be clear, so that we have the legitimacy to proceed with the same bold decisions without the slightest doubt.”

“While we were bringing money from the Recovery Fund, some were discovering dead Marys in Evros”

At the same time, the government representative spoke about the European reality of today, recalling the value of “having a prime minister who consistently wins battles in Europe”.

“We brought more than 40 billion to support small and medium enterprises. We have brought 36 billion from the Recovery Fund, this money does not go to a few, it goes to preventive examinations, it goes to digital school boards, it goes to people who really need it. While this was happening, some were discovering supposedly dead Marys in the Evros and sought to cut European funding to Greece. Therefore, you understand that a world that is tired of seeing tarpaulins, wants to see solutions to the problems”, he said.

He also appeared reassuring, when asked about the intense war atmosphere which is currently cultivated in the West as well, commenting that “we are a state as well fortified as possible, with the strongest voice in Europe. We are not in a state of even mild war readiness, but of reinforcement. Let’s not panic the world.”

“Best Last Month In Inflation Level – No Submission Extension Issue From Anywhere”

“Our politics was smeared with the colors of the electricity tariffs”, continued Mr. Marinakis.

“For the 6th consecutive month electricity has lower prices, this government has only brought 13 billion for electricity. The last month was better in terms of inflation. Unfortunately, Greece lost many years in the period 2015-2019, because at that time it was raining money in Europe with 5-6% growth. After 2019, the engines of our economy started to move forward, which is why the country’s growth rates quadrupled, while in Europe we had successive crises”.

Finally, regarding the question of where you belong, the government representative reiterated that the initial declaration of where you belong is one thing and the annual declaration is another.

“The platform remains, there is no question of extending the submission, in SYRIZA they are creating non-existent issues due to panic. It is indicative that they have issued more than 35 announcements on issues that have been resolved unanimously by the Parliament”, he concluded.
