“Agreement for a new debate in the 2nd round”, said the PASOK presidential candidate – What she said about Pavlos Geroulanos and possible cooperation with the ND
On his TV and in “Today» was hosted on Friday morning by its presidential candidate PASOK, Anna Diamantopoulouwhich commented on all the latest developments surrounding the internal party elections.
Speaking about the new controversy between Nikos Androulakis and Haris Doukas, Mrs. Diamantopoulou repeated the appeal that in PASOK “we should not stick with SYRIZA”. “The last days in an electoral contest are the toughest, where knives come out, all kinds of attacks take place. I accept that too. If you go online, you can see what’s going on,” he added, not knowing he was a troll.
“What I want to say is that there was a very good debate on Tuesday and the whole campaign has gone very well so far. We still have 10 days and what we want is for a lot of people to come to the polls, because this will be the sign that the political system will change. Because people are looking at PASOK again. It’s not just 12% coming to vote, society is coming that wants a change. In order to achieve this, however, everyone must passionately support whichever candidate they want, but not blame the others”, said the PASOK presidential candidate, pointing out that “this is exactly what I want to change the next day, the logic of the party that he creates armies with companies and conflicts.’
At the same time, she assured that she is in agreement with a new debate with her opponent if she is in the second round, while she recalled that she herself had proposed the creation of a YouTube channel by PASOK, where all the candidates could have “5-6 debates , to talk about all the specific policies and those who want from the citizens to see us whenever they want”.
“In 2 years, PASOK can be the first party – I can’t say if I’m better than Gerulanos”
When asked about Pavlos Geroulanos and the conflict between them in the debate, Anna Diamantopoulou stated that she was attacked by him, however she said that “I prefer to speak for myself, I cannot say if I am better or worse”. As he characteristically stated:
“In this effort, I am putting a very long route which has experience. I entered politics alone, an 18-year-old girl, and I followed the entire path of the party. I decided at some point, without leaving my political space at all, to do other things. Party life doesn’t help you by itself, I belong to the category of people who I believe always need a political life as well as a private life. And do other things and go out into society and see people from a different perspective.”
Finally, answering about possible cooperation with the current government, he said that “you want me to answer you about what we will do in 3 years from today, but as you can see the political scene is very fluid. We see ND losing 13-14 points, we see SYRIZA trying to regroup, so in 2 years PASOK may be the first party and the correlations will change”.
