“The major problems of Greek society are not addressed by exhibitions of ideas, but by active, progressive policies, which have the social majority at the center”, says SYRIZA-PS in a statement, responding to the Prime Minister’s weekly post on social media.

“Kyriakos Mitsotakis rewrote an exposition of ideas, commenting on the reality as if someone else had ruled for five and a half years now,” reports Koumoundourou and adds:

“Courses on democracy and transformation of the meaning of the Polytechnic with direct collaborators Makis Voridis, Adonis Georgiadis and Thanos Pleuris are redundant. Especially when today, 51 years after the post-colonization, basic achievements of the third Greek democracy: the rule of law, public education, the National Social Security System, representativeness are affected by his own governance”.

Continuing the criticism, he argues: “And if he himself wishes to renew the slogan for “bread”, as he writes, instead of indulging in mathematical exercises about the size of the economy, let him take measures immediately in order to relieve the income of the majority, to face the galloping inflation and shock increases in energy. After all, the super profits from his gigantic taxation leave any fiscal leeway.

And if he is cutting public health and the NHS, he should now stop the methodical dismantling of his structures, take political initiatives for the mass recruitment of doctors with a significant increase in their salaries and not proceed further with his plans for the privatization of services.

And if, finally, he is interested in the climate, he should tell the Greek people what initiatives he will undertake in an international setting that will find the USA outside the Paris agreement and with a minister of the environment who denies climate change. Because our country is already experiencing deep wounds from the effects of climate change.”
