For the importance of the new LNG terminal in Alexandroupolison Greek-Turkish relations, but also on the energy crisis spoke to SKAI and the show “Today” the ND MP, Dora Bakoyannis.
«The inauguration of the project in Alexandroupolis, which will be completed very quickly, is the largest investment today in Thrace. An investment that covers Thrace, Komotini and Xanthi. It is a big day, because we do not know what dawns on us with natural gas and brings Thrace to the center of Balkan interest“, He stated characteristically.
He added that with this project Greece becomes a transport hub and has the ability in case of Russian blackmail to supply the other Balkan countries.
Asked about Turkish provocationwhich has been escalating lately, Ms. Bakoyannis pointed out that a Mitsotaki-Erdogan meeting can not change an entire policy.
«What Turkey is doing is a policy that has boomeranged. He could not turn it around with the various threats and the ways he handled the issues towards the Arab countries and Greece. It was one of Erdogan’s most famous diplomatic pirouettes and tried to close fronts. But Ukraine came on top of that, which Erdogan believed gave him points. And the truth is that she initially gave it to him“, write down.
«However, the war continues and will continue for a long time to come. So automatically his role begins and raises questions, such as Zelensky’s attack and the US stance. Besides, Erdogan’s main goal from the beginning was to close the front with America. But it did not close. Instead, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in addition to meeting with Biden, will speak to Congress, which is of paramount importance. This terribly bothered the Turks. His goal for the F-16 is going through Congress. So they make an effort to arouse interest and say “watch out because we can create problems” with any risks.“, Pointed out the ND MP.
He stressed that there is always the risk of an accident and “we can not deduce from our calculations».
However, he expressed the appreciation that Erdogan “does not go looking»For an episode in Greece.
In terms in the post-Erdogan era, Ms. Bakoyannis stressed that Greeks have no illusions. «It does not mean that the post-Erdogan era will be easy when one hears the statements of Kilicdaroglu or Aksener. He wants attention too let us not celebrate in advance, because again we will be wrong“, write down.
Commenting the new Alco poll showing the difference between ND and SYRIZA at 8.1 points, said that “This government has faced many crises. I wonder if one day dawned without us having the need to manage Mitsotakis crisis. It started with the crisis in Evros, we spent the summer of 2020 with the Turkish challenges, the pandemic and then came the energy crisis and the war. We still do not know what dawns on us».
In fact, he characterized “huge dimensions»The energy problem, because it adds insecurity to the world. He stated “terribly frustrated»From the way the EU reacts «It has almost blinds. Leaders can not make a decision. The Italian Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, who is one of the most experienced, said yesterday that we must work with the fund as we did with the pandemic. This is a solution, because people are suffering“, He underlined.
However, he estimated that in the end the EU will take this decision. In any case, the government has decided to act unilaterally giving money of about 5 billion euros which in addition to 4 billion euros will fall on the market.
Asked how this aid will be given, Ms. Bakoyannis commented that “From what I understand, there will be a mixed system to make sure that the bill will reach last year’s levels “, adding that” the bottom of the barrels that every government scratches is the bottom of the barrel of Greek taxpayers».
In terms of the possibility of early electionsclarified that the “the government will go to the polls in 4 years. One of the interesting facts based on yesterday’s poll is that Mitsotakis fell by 2 points, but after him is “no one”».
He stressed that SYRIZA does not receive from the losses of ND, because they do not believe it. «Tsipras says the adjustment clause he voted for is illegal. How does he say he is illegal? He uses such toxic reason that this is not an answer to the other’s problem“, He pointed out.
Answering for if ND looks forward to a co-operative governmenthe mentioned that “It is not our decision, but the decision of the Greek people. If we succeeded in the crises, ND is 100% the best solution. If the Greek people do not want it, we will proceed as the constitution and the laws stipulate».
However, he noted that “I do not think it will be easy to reach elsewhere. The people of our party are housewives and I am not talking about the sprayed vaccines and pro-Russians».
