The impact of Donald Trump’s US tariff policy and the way the EU has to react have been pointed out by its president PASOK Nikos Androulakis In an interview with Radio Thessaloniki.

“There are the primary impacts related to the products we export directly to the United States. However, there are secondary effects, because if the European economy is damaged, as you understand, Greece’s services will be damaged because they are based on tourism. When a German car worker has no money in his pocket, he will not consume them during the summer months in Greece, “the PASOK Change President said and stressed:

“There must be an immediate collective answer and not drive, through delays, for each state to go alone and negotiate with the United States. We must not allow it to happen. ”

He added how “Europe must run quickly. Europe’s defense cannot be related to the US president. The energy strategic planning cannot depend on Putin. The productive base cannot be so very dependent on China. “

About Cyprus’s electrical connection and Turkey’s challengesPASOK’s president commented: “When there is the illegal Turkish Pact and you begin an investment, where its non -implementation substantially confirms Turkey’s aspirations, then if you have not secured its completion, you are either an amateur or both dangerous.”

On the announcement of Defense Minister Nikos Dendia for the intention of buying one more French frigateMr. Androulakis said that PASOK’s position is in every new equipment program to have technical opportunities for co -production, so that Greece would not only buy but also produce equipment programs by helping our economy and defense, “30% must be produced in the country,” he said.

“The dilemma that some other parties” social state or defense “put in, we consider to be a pseudo -edge. We must also have a strong social state and strong defense to face any risk, “he said, noting that the Minister of Defense avoided talking about the intention of buying yet another frigate during the meeting of the House of Equipment Committee.

For the truth group

Asked about the ‘Truth Group’PASOK’s president emphasized that “Mr Mitsotakis is doing what he complained to the Tsipras-Kammenos. In a statement to Parliament in 2019 he denounced the internet state. He was talking about a state of funded by the State then and did the same. We see Pavlos Marinakis coming out and saying “but what’s this team? Individuals pay individuals.” And I ask the ND: Individuals pay individuals to work for the New Democracy by slandering its political opponents and is this moral and legal? This is normalization of corruption. This is what this government has done to normalize corruption, and this is evidenced by the cynical statement by the New Democracy spokesman. Because it’s not just private money, there are other complaints that they have received millions – as a funding tank to do conferences – and by the State. “
