Evangelos Antonaros made a new statement on Saturday and this time He turned his arrows against the government on foreign policy issues.
In his statement, Mr Antonaros calls, neither more nor a little, by Kostas Karamanlis, Antonis Samaras, George Papandreou and Alexis Tsipras to ask for a joint statement the removal of the Mitsotakis government to deal with, as he claims, ‘The continued dangerous loss of sovereign rights for national integrity’.
“The four former parliamentary prime ministers alive – Costas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras of the New Democracy, George Papandreou of PASOK and Alexis Tsipras of SYRIZA – must consult. With a joint short statement they must draw the dangers for the country and invite Mitsotakis to back and hand over the governance to responsible hands. It is the minimum of joint action they can offer to the country. Long time is not left »he says.
«A statement by Evangelos Antonarou calling for former parliamentary prime ministers Costas Karamanlis, Antonis Samaras, George Papandreou and Alexis Tsipras to take a joint action and to seek a common statement to the removal of the government.
I’ll say it raw and cynically.
Greece, our country, is constantly losing points and international credibility in the way that foreign policy is practiced by the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
And I explain: After the inadequate Foreign Ministry has failed to persuade both sides in the divided Libya, the surrounding of our country is strangled by Turkey and its allies in the region. What greetings, what to embrace with military and other local guardians. What references to “International Law” and “Traditional Relationships” (Bourdology!) The truth is one: Libya with official documents does not recognize any rights on our largest island. Crete. What exactly Turkey is doing with a smaller one in the Aegean.
That this is Libyan’s timeless positions as the anonymous diplomatic sources of the Greek Foreign Minister are simply tantamount to the confession of inadequacy and impotence on our part. And even timeless. As Professor Karagiannis points out in Kathimerini Greece – with Prime Minister Mitsotakis – had been excluded from two international conferences for Libya years ago. And no one cared. They probably considered Libya negligible for the grandeur of Wannabe Ludovic in Maximus.
And now we pay the account late.
The inability and indifference of this government and the prime minister are criminal. They betray national interests. And because it is excluded by international levers from international events, as he thought, international leverses, the country is deadlocked. Trapped in the 6 miles that Gerapetritis long ago considered it completely natural and without EEZ. Those who hope that Chevron will save us will probably fool themselves.
The solution is one: exemption from this government of the lobby of concealment and falsehood. Who does not hesitate to sacrifice even sovereign rights by misinforming the Greeks in the midst of summer that it is not happening and something important in order to extend its embrace with power.
The four former parliamentary prime ministers alive – Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras of the New Democracy, George Papandreou of PASOK and Alexis Tsipras of SYRIZA – must consult. With a joint short statement they must draw the dangers for the country and invite Mitsotakis to back and hand over the governance to responsible hands. It is the minimum of joint action they can offer to the country. Long time is not left.»
