What did the government spokesman answer to the possible meeting of Mitsotakis – Erdogan
‘By the decision of the Council of State for Article 16 There is a stamp on one of the most historic and important reforms in our country post -political, with this reform the government is writing history, we would have done it earlier if PASOK had not done a historical cubus then. It is worth referring to the positions of the leadership of the opposition parties, it is out of place and time. The CoE’s decision is yet another solemn denial of the opposition. Unfortunately in the country there is no serious opposition. Many times the political system in the country thinks that everything revolves around us, we have come to be the only exceptions. With the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis there will be no other missing opportunities, if a child wants to study in his country he will be able to do so. “the government spokesman pointed out Paul Marinakis, answering questions to informing political editors about the establishment of non -state universities.
He also noted that “for us it is emblematic to change Article 16, we hope this time, surely PASOK, because not the rest of the parties agree. It will be one of the first and main proposals of the constitutional review. History has shown that our country has no more lost years. ” The government spokesman added that Greece is the country with the most students in the outside functions of its population, and that out of the 13 universities, which have applied, 4 of them are in higher rankings than the Greek universities.
Asked if the Prime Minister will speak in the parliamentary process of setting up the pre -trial committee For any criminal responsibilities of former Minister Costas Karamanlis, Mr Marinakis had enough to declare that the Prime Minister’s program was announced the day before and regarding the critical vote stressed that the New Democracy parliamentary group is the most compact parliamentary group of the second 4 years. “The other 154 MPs (except Kostas Karamanlis) will support this proposal and disprove those who have scenarios, which have nothing to do with reality,” he said.
Asked about the handling of Greek diplomacy In the wake of Israel -Iran conflict, The government spokesman noted that “we do nothing naive and fragmented. We will continue in this logic with every move to be measured, with the aim of degrading and seamlessly flowing on humanitarian aid, we do not make foreign policy with slogans. We have a plan, we do not feel that at the moment we are in a very high danger as a country, but we are in no way complacent. “
Asked whether Greece is worried about the role that Turkey is trying to play in the background of the new conflict in the Middle East, the government spokesman said that “We are not worried, because the country’s position is at the best level.” He added that there is no information on an impending meeting of the prime minister with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the face of the NATO summit in the Netherlands next week, while refuting publications by the previous days of the US -based Greek Initiative. We deny, they have no basis, no proposal has come to Greece, there will be no derogation from our position that the dispute will be resolved on the basis of international law. “
Asked about the prospect of establishing new parties by former prime ministersAlexis Tsipras and Antonis Samaras Mr. Marinakis replied that the government was not concerned with such a perspective, noting that “the outcome of the following elections depends largely on our own effectiveness. We are the first country at a rate of decrease in unemployment in Europe. Politics are policies and when you are in government they must be effective. We will be judged by this. “
Asked, after all, about what the government is going to do if great ratings are found due to the Middle East war, the government spokesman said that “If the increases are unjustified, fines will be imposed. If the need to support citizens in electricity or fuel, as we have done it, the state will intervene, but we are not there, we have proven, however, that when there is a need then the state will cover these increases. “
