The people who came and voted last November were anxious to have a democratic faction against New Democracy, which makes many mistakes, so it gives us the opportunity to make a fruitful opposition, stressed the president of PASOK-KINAL, Nikos Androulakis, speaking to SKAI 100.3 in view of the party congress that starts tomorrow, Friday, at 6 pm.
He noted that he has received a very strong mandate and that he has moved within the framework of his mandate, with autonomy, unity and with many new faces.
Regarding the trip of the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the USA, he characteristically commented that “even if a nuclear accident occurs, ND will fight with SYRIZA”.
He noted that the visit will be assessed in the coming months by the behavior of the US government, but that I consider it unthinkable “.
Asked about the speech in the Congress, he described it as “balanced”.
The most crucial element of Mitsotakis’ visit, he added, is whether Congress will back down on Erdogan’s blackmail. It will be judged in the near future if the USA is closer to us.
“Erdogan’s bargain should not be rewarded by the United States. “The EU and the US must freeze any armaments program in Turkey. There is no such thing as a rule of law and we must equip it,” he said.
Regarding the acquisition of F-35 by Greece, he said that “Experts will say if we need them,” he added, however, adding that we should discuss based on our needs and not announce arms purchases every time we go to the US..
Responding to the comment that the above position sounds like SYRIZA’s criticism, he said: “Anyone who criticizes the government can not say that he approaches SYRIZA”.
He also said that Erdogan has elections in the summer of 2023, he is in power, and he can escalate the situation both abroad and at home.
“We must not make the same mistakes we made with Russia,” he said.
Asked about the time of the elections, Mr. Androulakis predicted that they will take place in the fall.
In the criticism he receives from Alexis Tsipras that he does not open his papers about who he would cooperate with after the elections, Mr. Androulakis accused the president of SYRIZA that he had not informed the Greek people that he would co-rule with the far-right Panos Kammenos. “When you pose dilemmas, you must also remember your story”
“I do not accept lessons of political responsibility from Mr. Tsipras,” he said characteristically.
He then commented that Kyriakos Mitsotakis does not really want to co-govern with PASOK, but only wants the votes of PASOK, he does not believe in collaborations.
The dilemmas they pose are arrogant, he said and called on the citizens to vote for PASOK, saying: “We are not a bamboo party, it is a vote for a social democratic government.”
Responding to the pressure he accepts to open his papers for his post-election stance, he commented that “it is wrong to despise the popular order and verdict. Before the people vote, I can not say in the background who I will govern.
“We have to fight for a large percentage that will overthrow the hegemony of the two parties. There is no ceiling in this effort “, he underlined and clarified that he is in favor of stability from the first Sunday.
“From the first Sunday we will fight for a government in the country,” he said.
He said about his party that “it is not the fault of the name and the sun that the citizens turned their backs on us, it is the fault of the attitudes, the arrogance and the regime behavior. You will not see these from us. “
Finally, when asked about PASOK’s debts, he said that they exist, we made an effort and they will be settled, and relevant announcements will be made in the near future.
