“Your hypocrisy, Mr. Tsipras, is unbearable. “If you had never ruled, I would consider that these views are appropriate for a party that has never been in the throes of making difficult decisions,” he said. deuterology Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Parliament, in the context of the debate on the ratification of the Greek-American defense agreement.
“But you ruled and quickly forgot about the march on the US embassy and embraced the US,” he said, referring to statements made by former US ambassador to Athens Jeffrey Payat about his meeting with Al. Tsipras.
“And because you referred to the former US ambassador, I will read what Mr. Payat said about SYRIZA’s stance regarding the Greek-American agreement. He said “he is surprised why this relationship started during SYRIZA’s term, the 4 parties we are working on were identified during SYRIZA, Stefanovikeio and Alexandroupoli during SYRIZA were indicated. They understand the importance of the Greek-US relationship and share this commitment.” “Did you meet Mr. Payat last February without announcing what you told him?” stressed the Prime Minister addressing Alexis Tsipras.
“Come on, mother, let me say a word or two about the interior and I support the agreement. And that is what Mr. Payat said. You are disputing them, Mr. Tsipras. You are disputing them, Mr Katrugale. “You are making fun of us and justifying your attitude as if it were an opposition obligation,” added Kyriakos Mitsotakis, addressing the leader of the Official Opposition.
“For you, patriotism is a foreign word as you behave,” the prime minister continued. “To remember what you did and what you said when you went to Washington. I leave aside the diabolical style of Mr. Trump. You said about the Souda base that “everyone knows that it is of special geostrategic importance and the work there must be upgraded”. This is what we do and this is what you did every year, you went to Washington and did the asshole that is in our national interest. And at the same time you sent the signal that the political forces can reach an agreement on foreign policy.
You are now coming to turn it around again, to remember your anti-American roots sprinkled with a bit of patriotic PASOK. But I will tell you what you did not say. Refer to F-16s. You know that there are many voices in the US, but the final decisions regarding the approval of the armaments programs are in the Congress, which so far refuses, because they consider Turkey an unreliable partner. In 2018, when you went to Washington, Turkey had entered as a co-producer in the F-35 and then there was not a report of yours to the USA that the Turks would not take them, which would change the balance in the Aegean. Not a single report from you, Mr. Tsipras, so much hypocrisy anymore? “
