The urgent need for the state and the government to change culture and culture and the dialogue for this attempted change to come into society to become the protagonists of ordinary people, PASOK President Nikos Androulakis said from Komotini.

From the step of the PASOK Regional Conference and closing the work late Saturday afternoon, Mr. Androulakis emphasized that local communities, local government, chambers and local agencies have a reason and view.

He even put an example the management of the Greek government’s Development Fund by saying characteristically, “In all countries there were tables of dialogue to exploit this large European recovery tool, in all countries, regional level priorities were given. In Greece, everything was designed and implemented through a centralized and staffing state that is nothing more than the company of today’s prime minister. ” “Can the country continue to march with this mentality without respecting either the grades of local government, nor the anxieties of the people of the region?” PASOK’s president wondered.

Addressing a large audience, Mr. Androulakis referred to the PASOK initiative to organize the regional conferences and the thirteen regions of the country. The aim, he said, to hear the voice of local communities and in turn listening to PASOK’s program and initiatives in order to make better and more efficient management of regional development plans.

He made a special reference to the tragic accident of the Tempi, pointing out that for two whole years the world was waiting to see what would change, who would be punished. When they found that neither the state is changing nor payable and there is a continuation of corruption, then they reacted. “

“Politicians,” he emphasized, “are a political example for young people. What messages do we send to our young people when they find that the political system is spying without paying it, which is responsible for a contract that has not been implemented resulting in tragedy. So when young people see a political system that produces corruption and concealment, why believe in politics? “

Mr. Androulakis stressed that for PASOK “Polar and Ethics are concepts identical and not conflicting”.

In several parts of his speech, PASOK’s president spoke of customer relations and divisive reason on the part of the current government without any substantive program.

“We,” he said, “prefer the difficult path of political morals. The real political message of the next elections will not be Mitsotakis or chaos as they want to pass us. Will it be one of the same as the conservative policy of the New Democracy, which led society to a deadlock or PASOK with the program we will all create together in every corner of Greece? A specific, subversive and progressive program. “

Health, education and justice were, among other things, at the center of Nikos Androulakis’ speech. He stressed that there is a crisis of confidence in institutions and independent authorities, stressing “that if the political actors do not respect them how citizens will respect them”. Specifically on the issue of justice, she noted that there is a need to change the way she chooses her leadership not as a one -party choice but with a reinforced majority from the House. “

Negative effects of the development of the AMC District

Referring to the rhythms and results of the development of the AMU region, he stressed that “the indicators, especially in the last ten years, prove that unfortunately there were no desired results. The Region is ranked on the basis of development and economic indicators between the recent regions of the country and the European Union according to official data from both the European and the Greek Statistical Authority. Consequently, regional inequalities are perpetuated, with economic activity focusing mainly on Attica and to a lesser extent on Central Macedonia. “

“Almost 50% of the nominal GDP is produced in Attica,” Mr Androulakis noted, “with central Macedonia following 15%. The rest of the eleven regions share the rest, with the Ionian islands, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Western Macedonia in the last places, with the North Aegean -producing only 1% of the annual GDP. The situation is further burdened by the fact that the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace has a sad lead as he is a champion in poverty in our country.

“It is obvious,” he continued, “that such a first will affect as dominoes and other areas, such as the demographic issue. In 2024 it ended with a decline in population by nearly 5,000 people, due to the negative proportion between deaths and births. “

Concluding, the PASOK President – Change Movement emphasized that the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace “needs policies that promote social cohesion and fight poverty, while at the same time urging all those necessary initiatives that are effective.”

“For this reason,” he continued, “it is necessary to take initiatives that enhance the New Democracy government so abandoned by the New Democracy, to give life to the Greek countryside again, to connect manufacturing with the primary sector, so that we can strengthen the bonds between commerce and local production, Opportunities in a new, innovative and creative business generation. “
