SYRIZA gives an answer to the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, in his announcement regarding what he mentioned about the internal party elections in the party.

SYRIZA calls on the government to deal with its own issues and not to get involved in the internal parties of others, saying: “Let them deal with their own issues, which, especially lately, have become numerous”.

SYRIZA’s announcement in detail

“The comments of the government representative regarding SYRIZA-PS constitute an unprecedented intervention in an internal party process, which clearly indicates the preferences of Mr. Mitsotakis. In any case, the party and the government of the Tempe crime and the “bazoma”, the wiretapping, the illegal use of the personal data of the citizens, the one-man so-called staff state and dozens of other anti-democratic methods, cannot do to the Left and to SYRIZA democracy lessons and to interfere in our internal party processes, even giving specific direction. Let them deal with their own issues, which, especially lately, have become numerous. And let them decide whether SYRIZA is characterized by “endless” meetings and procedures or the exact opposite.

Regarding electricity, Mr. Marinakis managed to give a new dimension to the concept of distortion of reality and political arrogance, claiming that the colorful tariffs introduced by the government reduced the cost of electricity for consumers.

A year after the implementation of the new and highly complex pricing system, energy prices continue to rise. The latest figures from ELSTAT show an increase of 11.3% over the previous year.

The profit of the energy companies remains untouched by the government. Households and businesses are suffering from the increased prices and are only looking forward to the moment for their stabilization or reduction.

This is the reality of the government policy, with its anti-social nature confirmed by the abolition of the night tariff, mainly based on the needs of companies”
