“There has to be a new start in the country, a breakthrough and for me it is an opportunity in the next national elections to put an end to the Mitsotakis government,” Nikos Androulakis said of the political targeting of PASOK Change, speaking to SKAI 100.3.
The PASOK president said the people gave Mr Mitsotakis twice close to 40% “and constantly exposes the country instead of being a normal European country”. “Why are you going to negotiate more programs, more projects, how are you going to negotiate about your national interests, how are you going to negotiate on European foreign policy and Eurostas when you have no credibility?” He commented.
She criticized the government for her handling on critical foreign policy issues. “I ask the prime minister in early February what the cable push plan is. He replied that the project is going on normally and suddenly we see Turkey saying “Come and be licensed by me”, so go through the butcher bench, and the Cyprus with which we have national ties, today says but what the government is saying and we have public. Is it a picture of Greece publicly -do we have problems with Turkey -to confront Cyprus? These had to be resolved in advance, “he stressed on the issue of the Greece-Cyprus-Israel electric interconnection.
He added that the “calm waters” were used by Turkey both towards Europe and to America and is the only one who won “to note:” We have made a narrative that there is a de -escalation with Turkey. Turkey used it to its benefit to both Europe and America and I ask: What did we earn? Can not be able to dump the cable? “
Concerning developments in the Middle East, Mr. Androulakis emphasized that “the New Democracy managed to identify Greece with Netanyahu to a complete degree, something that no other state has succeeded. And I say it ironically, of course. Gaza is ethnic cleansing and the only country that pan -European caresses Netanyahu is Greece. “
Speaking about the scandals, he said that “we are seeing unreliability, corruption and uncertainty”, and commented that “European prosecutors have been camping in our country and are constantly coming to the House of Representatives for New Democracy ministers”. “I don’t scandalize, it’s the reality. And instead of allowing the investigation, the prime minister forbids it, employing practices such as the recent deputies from parliament, to go home and vote 1/3 letters to check them, “he said.
Called to comment on revelations about the circuit in Crete and the dialogues of Panos Kammenos who have released, he said: “It is shocking that we had for about five years of national defense minister, a man we see what relationships had with the underworld. Isn’t it shocking? Some are responsible for this, will they answer us? I’m talking about the previous government. “
At the same time, PASOK’s president was emphasizing economics. “The accuracy is at the height. At the moment, accuracy in relation to the income of the Greek people is the biggest social problem. It is not treated, no market controls are made, the fines that have come in are very small. The single consumer authority we proposed was not done to have a climate in society, “he said. He noted that “we paid them with billions of euros for recapitalizations because we need to have a fixed banking system. And make profits in 2022 3.27 billion, 2023 3.65 billion and 2024 4.5 billion. ” “Not all investments are, it is the difference in lending interest rates and charges,” he noted, wondering: “A policy was adopted to push the banks?”
Discussing the demographic, he commented that “it is anecdotal” to say that the ND has shown it and that PASOK came afterwards. “First of all, when I met the Prime Minister on December 2, I raised the issue with specific priorities. The ND said in June that it would propose some issues. What is her policy? For families with two children we have one of the worst tax policies. We have a 10-12% higher rate than countries such as Portugal and Ireland, which also have a very big demographic problem. ” He reported extensively to the 3 pillars of measures for the demographic he presented on September 3 in Zappeion.
Finally, asked about the rumor of the founding of a party by Alexis Tsipras, PASOK’s president stressed that “at the moment a SYRIZA MP and former prime minister is discussing whether he will have a party” and “even this is an institutional inadequacy”. “Isn’t it unreasonable for an active MP to allow all this rumor without clarifying his attitude?” He asked. “But it’s not about PASOK. PASOK is about to do its job properly to build a relationship of trust with the Greek people who will be expressed by political change in national elections, “he continued. He said that “Mr Tsipras and Mr Mitsotakis are ruled for ten years” and that the people would consider whether what they both offered him were proportional to his expectations. “Was they proportional to the commitments or others said and others did both? We will measure our credibility, seriousness, solutions for our country and ideology, and the Greek people will decide, who they consider more reliable, more consistent and more meaningful in what they propose for the next day of the country, “he said.
