“Yesterday we presented a comprehensive program that again gives content to the word reform. How we should and can change the state. The core of the change starts with the state itself. If the state does not change, many things from which we are discussing the parties, unfortunately we will not be able to achieve them in the long run. For us political change passes through PASOK Because PASOK has this program. For public health, for public education, which are declining, “he said at the start of the press conference in the context of 89th TIF PASOK President – KINAL Nikos Androulakis. “Every citizen understands that the cost of housing is prohibitive for thousands of Greek citizens. In all these challenges, we answered targeted and not with theories. With measurable goals, “he added.

Mr. Androulakis repetitively stressed that political change is going through PASOK’s victory “Why do we have the program, which has not made communicators, no consulting companies, but our executives, policy sectors, dialogue with society at regional conferences” but also because he added, “I personally have no sponsors, I do not represent any interests, lag behind the country. When our country – the market and the state – operates like other European states, rest assured that the social dividend will go to citizens and the surplus of some will decline rapidly for the benefit of society. ” It also criticized the government for the institutions, stating that they have been overthrown, justice cannot do its job as in the case of Tempi and OPEKEPE.

Asked about the government scenarios with the ND, Mr Androulakis stressed that political change is going through the ND defeat. “PASOK’s victory and ND defeat means a change of page for the place,” he said, adding that the ND should go to the opposition. As Mr. Mitsotakis explained in 2019 and in 2023, he appeared to be the genuine political spokesman for the middle class. He described how the middle class is described in the Western world and wondered whether this is described today as a middle class with the ND policies. “Here we had a prime minister who came to represent the middle class and instead of representing her politically she created huge obstacles in her daily life,” she said. He spoke of organization on the part of Mr Mitsotakis of the Extravagant State, argued that “we saw Mr Mitsotakis not allowing justice to do its job in top cases such as Tempi and OPEKEPE and that they prove that they are unreliable and must go.”

In the meantime, Mr. Androulakis said that inflation and accuracy became a policy tool. “Of the indirect taxes, due to accuracy, the state is taking billions and returns little to citizens,” he said, adding that “the market is not working, the free market that ND says is an unacceptable market. And it is evident from the durability of inflation in certain species. ”

For PASOK’s financial plan

PASOK President Nikos Androulakis has criticized the economic policy of the government.arguing that the revenue cited by the government are not derived from substantial growth or the fight against tax evasion, but mainly from price rise. “The market is not working, there are no rules. The free market cited by the New Democracy is an unacceptable market, “he noted.

PASOK’s commitments include:

  • Adoption rules and controls in the market with strong intervention by the Competition Committee.
  • Imposition of “very big fines” on oligopolies that are profitable.
  • Creation Single Consumer Authority for constant informing of citizens about product prices compared to the rest of Europe.

The costly measures he presented are included:

  • 13th salary: 1.27 billion euros (a net amount of about 750 million after tax)
  • New EKAS: 540 million euros
  • Reduction of VAT on basic products (pilots): 150 million euros
  • Widow’s and Disability Pensions: 100 million euros

“We came with great care for the country’s budgets and with another vision of growth, which has nothing to do with what is being implemented today,” Mr. Androulakis stressed.

For self -reliance and possible collaborations of PASOK

Asked about the electoral barMr. Androulakis noted that PASOK’s victory in the elections, “even with a vote in front of the ND, PASOK will have the initiative to do other things.” He stressed that the message to the Greek people is that “PASOK’s victory means victory for you”. “We cannot continue on the same course, think about what a third term Mitsotakis means to their activities to date. Let’s catch up before it’s too late. We have unpleasant experiences of governments that did not respect the citizens. The next national elections are a crucial turning point for the country, “the PASOK president argued and asked the Greek people to trust the plan presented at the TIF.

Speaking of partnership scenarioshe noted that he has proven that when needed in Parliament and always in the spotlight, “I am ready to work together to achieve specific goals against the ND” but “in the spotlight,” he said. “PASOK backstage games doesn’t play with anyone.”

For the opposition that PASOK makes

PASOK’s interventions and initiatives were underlined by Nikos Androulakisresponding to those who question the opposition role of his party. As he pointed out, “there is an opposition, but it does not fight with the same weapons that the New Democracy government is fighting.”

Mr. Androulakis reminded that his party was the one that revealed the scandal of espionagewhile “he first spoke with the Prime Minister himself about the OPECEPE scandal”. At the same time, he attributed to PASOK’s initiatives the resignations of ministers and government officials such as Voridis, Avgenakis, Triantopoulos, Papastavrou, Dimitriadis and the EYP commander.

Also reported to legislation of the party for:

  • bank charges and health premiums to reduce costs for citizens,
  • the protection of borrowers against funds and private debt,
  • the need to restore the 120 For SMEs to Tax Office and EFKA,
  • the incorporation of EKAB injured and drivers into heavy and unhealthyas in the private sector.

He also noted that PASOK stands “against any attempt to control and manipulate the opposition” and expressed its optimism about the polls: “The field of politics is the predominantly field of major upheavals. I presented a plan that creates confidence, hope and perspective. Now I am waiting for the citizens’ response to make political change. “

Also, Mr. Androulakis was asked about OPEKEPE and the Deputy Minister under Prime Minister George Mylonakis, said: “I expect Greek justice to invite K. Mylonakis and learn the truth. I will be surprised by anything from Mr Mitsotakis’ environment “and added that” the prime minister’s closest associates became the protagonists of scandals who have exposed the country internationally. “

“It is anecdotal that the party that brought bankruptcy to Greece to say to the party that was sacrificed to keep the country in the euro that we will bring memoranda.”

Asked if he agrees with the prime minister’s “sponsorship” of Mr Tsipras of interests, PASOK’s president commented that “citizens know, citizens have a crisis and see what we have achieved with our own strengths and who has succeeded. “So don’t put on the same basket on my way with the marches of Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Tsipras. I neither divided nor fooled the people, nor do I have patrons. I have no patrons, I have no commitments. My power is the PASOK world, my power is the relationship of trust I build daily with my word, my public behavior and my practices, with ordinary citizens, “he noted. He added: “Everything in the light of nothing in the dark and in the background.”

Called to comment the categories of government sources for the PASOK programabout Green Modern Modern Proposals that will lead to surveillance, Mr. Androulakis commented that “the party that brought bankruptcy to Greece …”, “which led the country to the Memorandums and the surveillance, is really anecdotal, “How bold, how much arrogance, how much impatience. Whether we were halfway or twice as much, the New Democracy press release was ready. We have the responsibility and experience to be very consistent in what we propose, ”he said. “Why didn’t we say a 14th salary that sounds so nice? Because we know very well what the priorities should be and what are the potential. Why did we say the new EKAS? Because we know that in society there is 350,000 low -income pensioners and they cannot live and we must do something for them. We have put priorities based on real social needs, “he said. He added that “the 13th salary is not just a fair income for what the State has lost in previous years is needed for motivation”, as “the public sector is no longer tragic”. “Our measures are specific and have social priorities to enable the public sector to serve the citizen in the coming years. If public administration collapses, public health and public education, precision will more than double because inelastic expenditure will increase. We, with our plan, we dilute them. It’s a holistic approach, “he added.

‘State of terrorist Israel’

Nikos Androulakis emphasized the clear position of PASOK in favor of respect for international law and human rights, stressing that Greece must actively support the solution to the Palestinian issue.

PASOK’s president noted that “as we condemned Hamas’s jihadist blow to the detriment of citizens in Israel, we also condemn a state that kills innocent. So it’s a terrorist state. ” As he added, “the only way for Mr. Netanyahu is to apologize to the Hague International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity.”

Mr Androulakis announced that he took the initiative by sending a letter to the Speaker of the House for a special meeting, with the aim of re -entry the 2016 decision to take initiatives to have a Palestinian state recognition.

“PASOK has been working with a compass over time: respect for international law and human rights on any side of the world. This is our ideology, this is our compass, “the party president noted.
