“Voters left en masse from ND and SYRIZA, so now is our chance,” said the MP and PASOK presidential candidate
“What we had lost recently was a movement to be a government proposal and we have to find it again,” he pointed out from his television its deputy and presidential candidate PASOK, Nadia Giannakopoulou, while we are only 4 days before the internal party polls.
Speaking to “Mismatched» on Wednesday morning, Mrs. Giannakopoulou estimated that over 300,000 people might come to vote in the elections on Sunday. “I want to call on all those who believe that the Mitsotakis government is no more, to take PASOK into their hands and participate en masse in the proceedings, not letting them become simply a battle of the mechanisms that has no meaning. Now we have an amazing opportunity to change things.”
At the same time, he said that society can no longer wait for PASOK to be able to become a government with small steps, adding that, given that 1,000,000 people left en masse from ND and another 350,000 from SYRIZA, now is the opportunity of the faction to fulfill its historical role.
“You know that I have never minced my words and I believe that a new beginning must be made in our leadership. Of course, the effort that is being made is collective, but for better or worse, individuals always leave their mark and their role, so what I’m saying is that we can no longer go with a ceiling, because we don’t have a ceiling. I believe that we have inexhaustible powers and we must re-express the world and the pulse of society, re-grasp the thread of our operation, expressing the whole”.
Finally, he assured that the next day of the intra-party “battle” he will do everything in order for PASOK to come out united, while answering about the scenarios of the second round, he described this conversation as “ungrateful”. As he said “if more than 300,000 voters come, the next day we will have 18%.” If more than 400,000 come, maybe more than 20%, do you understand what that means? This is exactly the restart we need to do. Neither will we march with the same, nor with rooting.”
