A new confrontation broke out, but this time in the opposition ranks, on the occasion of the government’s moves to address the increased flows Migrants from Libya who flood Crete.
It all started when the PASOK announced that he was drawn up with proposal of unconstitutionality tabled by the President of Freedom Freedom, Zoe Konstantopoulou, but he votes “present” to the amendment that suspends asylum examinations for three months for Libya flows.
Early in the afternoon the first “nails” came from Haris Kastanidis who wrote, “Today I learned that you first support the unconstitutionality of an amendment and then You vote “present”. High -level lesson, solid logic and intelligent guidance. “
Today I learned that you first support the unconstitutionality of an amendment and then vote for “present”. Lesson of high parliamentary level, solid logic and intelligent guidance.

It was followed by SYRIZA, who in his announcement, oppresses the attitude of Harilaou Trikoupis, attributing “inability to exercise opposition to the far -right, populist policies of the ND”. As he points out, “the country does not need balancers but a serious, progressive, realistic political plan to the opposite of the failed government policy.”
The whole announcement of SYRIZA:
“The attitude and” present “of Mr. Androulakis ‘PASOK-KINALIS on Mr Plevris’ amendment in front of the blatant violation of international law by the government is indicative of his inability to exercise opposition to the far-right, populist policies. It is worth noting that former Commissioner D. Avramopoulos and former Ministers Keridis, Voultepsi and Syrigos were differentiated by their public discourse from Mitsotakis – Plevris legislation, which, for the most part, was elaborated by M. Voridis.
Everyone’s attitude towards the protection of human life, respect for international conventions and the demand for equal assumption of responsibility for EU countries. It cannot be heterosexual by reasonable balance. There is no “center” between European law, humanity and far -right populism but a “center” but a gap and embarrassment.
The country does not need balancers but a serious, progressive, realistic political plan in contrast to the failed government policy. Where Mitsotakis’ government fails, the progressive space can and should take responsibility. “
PASOK’s response
SYRIZA criticism, however, did not remain unanswered as the PASOK press office stresses that “it is necessary to actively and effectively address the problem in a completely different direction from it, with communication incentives, the New Democracy government has chosen”, while “he has” pointed out “.
The whole comment of PASOK
“PASOK’s attitude is clear: it needs an active and effective treatment of the problem in a completely different direction from it, which the New Democracy government has chosen.
As the overwhelming majority of those arriving from Libya in Crete are immigrants-as the government confesses-, Plevri amendment measures are ineffective.
PASOK’s proposal to accelerate the control of asylum applications and returns of those who do not have a refugee profile in countries of origin is the most effective and compatible with the protection of human life and international conventions.
PASOK has a clear front with the far right and has proven it. Inaction with real problems reinforces the far -right rhetoric especially when it comes from political forces that were previously inconsistent with what they said and failed miserably. “
