The government sets rules for the little ones, but trembles in front of the big ones, said the parliamentary representative of PASOK-Movement for Change, Pavlos Geroulanos, in his intervention today in the debate on the state budget 2025.

Transferring his dialogue with Ms. Anna in Kythera, who sells caper leaves and honey, heard him say:Say something to Mr. Hatzidakis. They have given me this gimmick and they tell me to change my passwords every day but I don’t know how to do it and they are going to chase me». “But when I told Mr. Hatzidakis, for the illegal trade in cigarettes and fuel, he was acquitted. Rules in Ms. Anna but horror for adults. Error. Reverse take it. Rules for adults and terror for Mrs. Anna who is experiencing what she is experiencing today“, Mr. Geroulanos urged the financial staff of the government.

As the main opposition MP said, “we need a Greece, where the relations between the citizen and the state are characterized by mutual respect. Where you feel safe to create. And you enjoy what you create, in a society with clear rules that apply to everyone. A Greece that exploits wealth-producing sources and distributes wealth fairly, ensuring social cohesion. And a Greece, in which the welfare state works, not only for the weak, but to free the creative forces of the country from fear every day. Including Ms. Anna».

According to Mr. Gerulano, “Swith such a state, the government plans and the institutions, which are close to the citizen, implement. Power emanates from one source but is exercised by many so that there is competition of power and accountability to the citizen. Necessary features if we want society to react quickly and effectively to challenges».

“This one doesn’t need leaf trees. He wants reforms“, said Mr. Geroulanos, saying that this is not a midsummer night’s dream, but a survival protocol of a society, in a world that is changing dramatically and an economy that will be unbearably squeezed by predictable and unforeseeable, domestic and foreign factors in the coming year.

Referring to the reason that PASOK-Movement for Change will vote against the Budget, he said that “it’s not just that we disagree on individual issues. It is because we disagree on the architecture. At a time when economies, alliances and borders are collapsing around us, the government is clinging to yesterday’s models. However, since the Greek woman and the Greek man are living the problems of today, the only thing the government has to offer them is amnesia benefits».

He emphasized that “we are not looking for a government to help us forget. We are looking for a government that will unite us, to move forward. All together. Who will make reforms so that the political system and the economy we will build work differently. For, and with, Ms. Anna. The answer to this quest is only progressive. Led by a strong Panhellenic Socialist Movement. Who believes that now is the time to stand on our own two feet. And until we do, we risk being hopelessly unprepared for what lies ahead».
