As part of his speech at his regional conference Change In Rhodes the President Nikos Androulakis He criticized the government that he is politicized with artificial falsehoods such as “Mitsotakis or Chaos”.

“Let even the most unmistakable followers of the New Democracy think, what will they remember from the New Democracy governance in ten years? “Big Infrastructure Projects”? Will the “great reforms” of the state or “successes on national issues” will be remembered? What will we remember from these “Illuminati”, as a New Democracy MP described them yesterday? So the risk is not to leave, the risk is to stay, ”he said.

He defined the reform of the state as a threat: “Will we have a loot state that will use their urban planning, hospitals, their mechanisms to reproduce corruption and power or have a European state with transparency, seriousness, respect for the citizen and taxes? This is the big issue of the next elections. “

“Many Greeks voted for the New Democracy because they believed it had a plan of reforms. Where was this plan? A group of Maximus, organizes, designs and implements them all. Maximus’s “Illuminati” must be the faster possible. We must not say: To leave, so that we can come. But let’s say: To leave, to implement our plan for the state, a holistic state that will provide solutions, “said Androulakis.

Specifically for the issues of South Aegean The opposition leader stressed: “We must have special tax policies for the islands. Not only for VAT but also tax incentives for productive processing investments, to support a winery in Serifos for example, where production costs are more than twice the rest of Greece. So, for us the solution is simple, Mr. Mitsotakis: To go to the reduced rates, to disconnect the reduced rate from the infrastructure of the immigration. “

He proposed until the reduced VAT rate was implemented, the islands that, due to increased tourist traffic, donate state funds with many millions of euros, set up a special fund and refunding most of the increased VAT receipts in development, social cohesion infrastructure and resilience.

“Until we go universally in a reduced VAT, the excess of the minimum rate is withheld to a special fund and return to these islands to health, education and demographic policies,” he explained.

Whereas, for the transport equivalent, Mr. Androulakis pledged that “everyone will take it, transparently, in time”.

Referring to the 13 regional conferences organized by PASOK, Mr. Androulakis emphasized that they reflect the philosophy of the movement for balanced development. “You’re not a decor for us. You are the protagonists and we will plan together the policies that will make Greece strong, fair and durable, ”he said.

Finally, regarding the great debate in Europe on defense architecture, Mr. Androulakis said: “The new equipment programs will further increase the pressure on the debt, which we fought a decade of memorandum to contain. So what did Greece win Mr Mitsotakis? Why are there no subsidies for countries that, due to their geopolitical position, proceed to equipment programs? Why is there not a clear Eurostrators plan by the European Commission, while the European Parliament has it in its resolution? Why are there no arms export rules to third countries? Is it possible for the same countries in Europe to equip both us and Turkey? “
