by

“Waving my finger for a double stance on foreign policy issues goes a long way, that you participated in the rallies for the name of Northern Macedonia and when you became prime minister, you forgot everything and you honor and respect it and you do everything. “Only you are afraid to bring the memoranda of cooperation for ratification, lest your half of you vote against them”, commented the Alexis Tsipras answering in the deuterology of Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The president of SYRIZA-PS said about the attitude expressed by his party that “it is not a matter of conjuncture that we have this attitude, we do not need to play it neither pro-American nor anti-American”.

“We support and protect Greek interests, we do not serve American interests in exchange for vague promises.”

He stressed that “this is our difference”, as “during SYRIZA, very substantial steps were taken, we had an absolute sense of responsibility to defend the national line and we made choices that strengthened the role of the country internationally.”

He added that during SYRIZA very substantial steps were taken with the USA, we made choices that strengthened the role of the country and our sovereign rights. During SYRIZA, 3 + 1, EastMed, American investments, such as the FSRU that you inaugurated the day before yesterday and the shipyards of Syros, proceeded.

Alexis Tsipras added that “every prime minister must negotiate with the United States on the basis of a mutually beneficial basis, for the national interests of the country.”

“You are signing an agreement that gives everything without security guarantees for the country. The agreement is indefinite, not five years. The US Secretary of State said in front of Mr. Dendias, do not continue lying “he stressed and continued:” Since you do not accept your trip to the US as a negotiating weapon to suspend the ratification of the agreement, in order to prevent the purchase of 40 new F- 16 in Turkey, at least commit to raising the issue with the US President “.

The US President added: “You said that it is not an option to be an advanced outpost due to our strategic position. Our location allows us to be either an outpost or a bridge. “We do not gain from being an unguarded outpost.”

Addressing PASOK, he said: “And I hear that you will vote for the agreement. While the US government favors the sale of F-16s to Turkey. I look forward to hearing from you yesterday, today and tomorrow. It is not enough to restore the sun. You prove every day that you do not deserve the trust in the government. “You are leading the country every day since it was defeated, both socially and nationally.”
