“Yesterday’s was one of Mitsotakis’ best appearances in Parliament” – What he said about the new health screening program
The Minister of Health gave a full interview, Adonis Georgiadis, speaking to and in “Today» with them Dimitris Oikonomou and Akis Pavlopoulos for all current affairs.
Initially, Mr. Georgiadis characterized the presence of the Prime Minister on Wednesday in the debate on the anti-fire period in the Parliament as “one of his best”, pointing out that Kyriakos Mitsotakis set the real context with the Nikos Androulakis and what kind of opposition will make the PASOKas well as the problem with Nikos Pappa and him SYRIZAwho has a “huge deficit of democratic legitimacy,” as he said.
“Nikos Pappas became the president of the SYRIZA Parliamentary Group at the behest of Kasselakis and then he “ate” Kasselakis. In fact, Pappas is completely “up in the air”, beyond the judicial 13-0, so Mitsotakis took the opportunity there and said it. But most importantly, the prime minister made a shocking reference to immigration. It is worthwhile for all those who blame the ND on the issue to see what he said yesterday in the Parliament, to see the speech of Mr. Haritsis who read the reports of all those international humanitarian organizations that accuse Greece of how harshly it guards the borders” , the minister pointed out.
“The absolute red line in politics is questioning the patriotism of another”
Asked about the prime minister’s indirect reference to Antonis Samaras and the response of the latter’s circles, he commented:
“I will never comment on the statements of a former prime minister. If you ask me if ND has an internal party issue, the answer is no. I like to talk politically and not parapolitically. It’s not my job to comment on circle answers, I don’t like it and I don’t have the right. Without wanting to answer Antonis Samaras, who knows my love and respect for him, I want to say my opinion about Greek-Turkish. There is no question of Greece’s submissiveness towards Turkey. The Greek government is not negotiating any issue of national sovereignty with Turkey. Mr. Gerapetritis informed the ND MPs and they were all satisfied. No concessions were made in Casso, nor anywhere. We are trying to have a calm climate with Turkey, because this is in Greece’s interest. Peace with Turkey means better tourism, better investments, less illegal immigration flows.”
In fact, responding to those who speak of “Mitsotakis compromise”, he underlined that “the absolute red line in politics is questioning the patriotism of the other”. He recalled that even during the Prespa era, he himself never described Alexis Tsipras as a discounter. “Greece has historically paid a lot for such divisions. Now the criticism of different management on individual issues is another matter.”
“We have the largest screening program in Europe – In the summer of 2025 the electronic patient record”
Afterwards, Mr. Georgiadis spoke and referred to the developments in Healthsaying he was happy about the free colon cancer screening program. “It’s not just that tens of thousands have taken the test, it’s that about 4 million Greeks will receive a message on their mobile about the nearest pharmacy where they can get tested. So far we have the breast cancer, cervical cancer program in progress and soon we will also go to cardiovascular problems”.
At the same time, he also talked about the electronic patient file, which will be ready next summer. In particular, for those who take the free preventive tests, the results will be entered into it, he said, describing the overall screening program as “the largest that has ever been done in all of Europe”.
