His speech at the PASOK sectors conference
“We show the Greek people an alternative road. Yes, we can differently. Yes, we can and better, “he said Nikos Androulakis Opening with his speech the conference of PASOK Change Policy Policy Sections held at the SEF.
He emphasized that “today we are sending citizens a very clean message: you deserve much more than the New Democracy government offers you. You have the right to a better life and this change will come with the PASOK government program, the democratic faction. “
Addressing the party executives, the PASOK president said that they are the power of the lineup, “a rich staff that no other party has, a unique comparative advantage.” “You do not come,” he noted, “from customer -funded nurseries of executives who act as a climbing of public posts. You don’t depend on anyone. This is the different political ethics towards the declining government of the ND. ” In the echo of the publications on the “Truth Group”, Mr. Androulakis noted that “we leave them with their gambling mechanisms, their sponsors, their corruption, with the customer state”. “We know that democracy and institutions for them are a loot, a lever in their own political game. This will be the landlord of Mr. Mitsotakis’ ND, “he said. He commented that Mr Mitsotakis was elected to heal the injuries to the institutions and opened worse wounds. Addressing the prime minister, he stressed that “corruption is not normal”.
PASOK’s president stressed that things would not change without conflict with interests and called on everyone despite the difficulties “to fight united in every corner of our country. No one will bend us, not even Mr. Mitsotakis’ power system … “he said, according to the EIA.
He accused the Mitsotakis government of having a “divorce” both from morality and the rule of law, stressing that “this negative acquis we have a duty to overthrow” and that PASOK is close to ordinary people “seeking credibility and plan, who do not tolerate corruption and corruption”. “We are not a party-Komitis or a one-person body, but a popular and patriotic movement with deep roots in society,” he noted.
Mr. Androulakis stressed that PASOK has “both plan and faces reliable and trained”. “We are not a protest party, but the power of responsible governance. We are not in the context, but we are fighting for Greece’s new perspective. The candy of ‘You have no’ places’ is over, “he said, stressing that” the country has finally acquired an opposition opposition that squeezes the government and is winning significant parliamentary victories. ” In this context, he recalled the party’s proposals for banks, health insurance premiums, public health, private debt, Golden Visa’s restriction, seasonal firefighters and the suspension of Spartans’ funding. He commented, however, that some people choose to give room to roosters and are not interested in quality public dialogue, and noted that “we must fight -all together -to transfer our positions and suggestions to every corner of the country.” He referred to the party’s priorities: investment in the welfare state, strong public education and health, integrated robust housing policy.
Addressing the executives, he said that the lineup is united and renewed, that PASOK can win in the next national elections, because “we also have our program and our comparative advantage – our executive potential – to make the people society in every corner of Greece”. “We have the opportunity and the debt to offer the Greek people a reliable progressive proposal of governance. Because only we have the power to achieve it. Let’s fight to do it. It’s up to us, “he noted. Mr Androulakis argued that until the next national elections, if PASOK’s proposals and solutions go to every home, “be sure we will be the big surprise of the next elections.”
He stressed that the simple world is not concerned with the party microcosm but the solutions to the problems “and it is the responsibility of all of us to respond to this requirement of citizens for our lineup”. “Our common opponent,” he said, “is outside the walls: it is corruption, the decency and the government’s conservative policies.”
The PASOK president said that today’s conference marks a continuation of the course so far, but also a new starting point. As he explained: “Continue, because all of you will participate in a fruitful process of updating, deepening and enriching our programming positions.” He added that training the program is a dynamic process of constant processing and adaptation to new data, with the program dialogue already opened with the citizen through regional conferences. “We want the citizen active in shaping our program, which will become a government plan tomorrow, applied policy with voted bills and implemented actions,” he said.
He then noted that the Conference also marks a new starting point, as “the renewal of policy sectors and enrichment with new people are practicing the open party”. He emphasized that the issue is to have a clear targeting, distinct political priorities and a specific vision, “otherwise politics is turned into an unnatural technocratic affair, a process that concerns few …”. He emphasized the debt of the Democrats of Socialists and Progressives to give back to the Republic.
Intense criticism of the government, Mr Androulakis commented that “the government and the prime minister are playing their own surplus”, “they think it is the political bazoukas, with which they are trying to get out of the spiral of their deterioration.” “They are going to succeed,” he argued, commenting that “the surplus clashes with reality” and that “the Greek people are not a Lotophagus”, but sees “six years of the ND government, six years of enlargement of social inequalities, depreciation of public health and public health and public health.” He said there is no fair dividend from development and that the poorest becomes poorer. He asked if growth is durable when one in two foreign direct investment is real estate.
He then said: “What convergence we are talking about, when Greece is the only European country to have a lower real GDP in 2024 compared to 2010. What changed in Greece with 36 billion recovery fund? What modern productive model we are talking about when in 2024 we had the second highest deficit in the current account balance in the EU. ” He commented, however, that “for the government everything is going well” and “they found” suddenly “11.4 billion, while calculating $ 6 billion.”
He noted that “surplus is not a product of a durable and competitive economy, but of a poor quality of life.” He said that it made citizens feel weak and then the government is distributing benefits instead of making structural interventions. He asked what will remain on permanent social housing infrastructure from the $ 1 billion they will give in four years from the housing allowance. “With the transitional allowances that are being made permanently, nothing changes in the country,” he said, accusing the ND of not treating the people as citizens but as electoral customers.
PASOK’s president argued that all the government’s major choices were accompanied by major failures, with a “tragic example of its obsession with Golden Visa” -“they do not touch the root of the problem, which is the offer of housing. Only strengthen demand. For so many years they didn’t talk about social residences. ” He noted that a total of a total of housing offering. Repeat the main axes of PASOK’s plan:
-The establishment of a Public Real Estate Management Company, through the programs of which -along with municipal social housing programs -is estimated to be marketed 40,000 low -rent houses over 5 years.
-Cannes in short -term lease in pressure zones.
-Abolition of Golden Visa in small islands, high pressure urban centers and Thrace.
-Angel Visa, with the aim of attracting the region to attract new people, and to deviate residential pressure on urban centers.
-Rentalments: Owners who have their real estate in the Real Estate Division enjoy reduced or zero taxation for a specific period of time.
As for the “allowance” announced for retirees, he said that the prime minister “made no mention of substantial reinforcement of their income, such as the EKAS’s restoration to low -income pensioners, nor did he talk about the hundreds of thousands of pensioners with a personal dispute and his retirees.” He pointed out that PASOK has proposed a new EKAS for around 380,000 low -income pensioners, ranging from 70 to 150 euros and the total cost is € 540 million.
In terms of tax evasion, he commented that “we have learned, in the end, that the available fiscal space for 2025 is 1.1 billion euros and that this budgetary space is mainly due to the fight against tax evasion”. He said that some steps have been taken, but we need to know what they are to evaluate them properly. Because this amount, he continued, is about 50% reduced compared to the approximately € 1.9 billion estimated by AADE and the financial staff to come from tax compliance. He finally asked what the amount was accepted by the committee from tax evasion revenue and better compliance.
For private debt “galloping” he said that PASOK has presented “a realistic framework for relieving interventions, giving a way out to the vulnerable borrower and the real economy.” Purpose of the plan:
– Regulation of overdue debts to the State and Social Security Institutions in 120 installments, along with the introduction of incentives for consistent.
-The protection of truly weaknesses from the loss of first home.
-Strengthening the role of the state, in the face of the nonsense of funds and services, along with the consolidation of transparency and the protection of borrowers’ rights.
– The protection of those who received a loan in Swiss franc.
-The reward of consistent borrowers and debtors.
This year’s September 3rd will be dedicated to demographic and regional development, Mr. Androulakis announced. He noted that in order to revolt the country the region must cease to be deserted, the agricultural sector should be reinforced, to strengthen the primary sector. PASOK’s plan, continued, provides:
-Repellation of the strategic plan of common agricultural policy, with simplification of ecological shapes and adapting it to the needs of the Greek countryside, so that the real farmers are beneficiaries.
-Creation of energy communities in rural areas for resetting energy costs.
– Establishment of a rural oil card, with the return of the excise duty to the rural oil in the pump.
-Recognition of the ELGA Regulation for fare.
-Protection of agricultural land from speculative practices and foreign funds.
-A prerequisite for the import of food and agricultural products from third countries is their certification in accordance with European and national standards.
-Deenal tolerance for practices of illegal Greeks.
