His satisfaction with the fact that SYRIZA and KINAL clearly and without asterisks condemned the unprovoked invasion of Russia in Ukraine The Prime Minister began his deuterology in the debate in Parliament on the crisis in Ukraine and its consequences.
He also referred to the agreement between the two parties that the EU should take a decision on a strict framework of sanctions, which put a lot of pressure on the Russian economy. sending military equipment to Ukrainethe Prime Minister noted that this was a European decision with the exception of states that have constitutionally guaranteed neutrality. And the Prime Minister added:
“But even if there was no European decision, our decision is the right one. We have more reasons to support Ukraine with defense equipment than many other European countries. Not only as a sign of solidarity, but because we are proving that in the context of an allied relationship, we will be able to claim corresponding support, if the non-genital is needed. The argument is clear. “
Regarding relations with Turkey, the Prime Minister noted that he never closed the door to dialogue.
“I am not opposed to a dialogue with Erdogan”
“I have met three times with President Erdogan. I am ready to meet at any time and indeed this circumstance might have favored a meeting. I am not opposed to such a perspective. We come with faith in the strength of our arguments and the additional precedent of how important alliances are. “Everyone has realized that revisionism in practice can come at a huge cost.”
Responding to the opposition’s objections to the government’s stance on energy crisis, noted: “The government’s decision to seize the opportunity of the energy transition has not been taken now. We got it 2.5 years ago. It also acquires important geopolitical features. We want the penetration of RES as fast as possible, to reduce Russian gas. That is why discussions are taking place not only with Cyprus and Israel but also with Egypt. We insist that the fastest way to be able to bring natural gas to Greece and Europe is with liquefied from Egypt “.
“I believe that in the central axes we can agree in this room to put into practice the green transition, to limit our exposure to Russian gas and to strengthen the geopolitical position of the country” added Kyriakos Mitsotakis, emphasizing that “you understand how important in this dimension is the Greek-Egyptian agreement on the delimitation of maritime zones. I would like to point out that the Recovery Fund has decided to disburse an additional 3.6 billion euros and a significant amount of these resources will be directed to green actions. “Policies such as ‘save’ benefit every Greek household and business.”
Concluding his deuterology, the prime minister said: “From the debate, I hold the agreement of the three largest parties in condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as in the correctness of imposing sanctions.”
He concluded by calling on Mr. Tsipras to re-evaluate his positions on defense spending, saying that “developments have justified those who believed that investing in defense is not a luxury.”
During the prologue The Prime Minister stressed: “We can not stand indifferent to authoritarian leaders who want to repaint the borders. Equal distances do not fit here. Equal distances do not fit here. “Either you are at peace and international law, or you are against them.”
He continued: “It is not possible to equate the perpetrator with the victim through simplistic illustrations. I can not hear naive arguments about how our expatriates were killed in Mariupol. I know that before the Russian invasion they lived and now they do not live. “We are on the side of Ukraine, on the side of peace and democracy.”
The Prime Minister also said: “Yes, Greece is strengthening Ukraine both humanitarianly and militarily. The Germans and the Portuguese are doing it, are not we who were expatriates killed by Russian bombs? And one more thing: if we do not show solidarity, with what moral stature will we ask for support if we are provoked by the ungodly?
