A year ago the PASOK intra -party elections were completed.
From the first moment I said that I respect the verdict of our members and friends
And I support the president who was elected.
We gave – along with friends and comrades – an honorable struggle for change.
With values, with ideas, with dignity, with innovative political proposals.
No divisions, no personal expediency.
After the first round, I dared to overrun.
I suggested alliances and unity for a strong majority of change – without self -esteem, without calculations. Proposals that, unfortunately, were not accepted.
But we are proud of this fight.
I have learned how important it is to talk to citizens every day, as the poet said “quiet and simply”. I have learned the importance of self -criticism.
EXCESS
So, in the course of this, mistakes were made. Certainly some of what we said were very annoyed. And they gave the opportunity to attack those who fought for the change, by the government and the establishments that support it.
I keep the substance:
We are reserved.
As mayor of Athens, I honor the trust of the citizens every day.
Something that I didn’t even stop to do. We create a different model of governance with collective effort. We work with all our might for a green, clean, clean, creative, citizens’ friendly, support for the vulnerable. We are fighting for the world Athens of culture, democracy, solidarity.
And I continue to believe that political change is the prerequisite for democracy and the justice we deserve.
As a PASOK executive I will speak and intervene on all the important issues concerning the course and course of the country. To become a big, progressive, majority stream again in society. To make political change.
I believe in the need for dialogue and joint action with other progressive forces. In the House and in society.
Because the autonomous course is not isolation. It is a call for drafts against establishments and maintenance.
With honesty. With transparency. Everywhere, without compromises.
With faith in “us”.
With bold positions, with spikes, leading to incisions that change the country and restore social justice.
We go.
For a majority line,
For a justice Greece,
For a policy that unites.
We continue. We are entrusted. We dare.
