“If Samaras makes a party I will get involved with politics”
“The years he ruled I think there is no doubt – whatever one thinks – that he managed to be left alone in the political scene, without opposition,” he told Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis Panos Kammenos In an interview with Alpha aired on Thursday night (9/10).
“I can tell you that its positive points are first of all the course of the country’s economy. The second important is the balances he continued to keep with the US, Israel, but also with an external policy I do not agree with. “
“In what I have contradicted to Kyriakos Mitsotakis,” continued Mr Kammenos, “is about the ND itself”, referring to the “note” of the blue line. “Opposition parties live the dancing of Zalong, as if they were committing suicide on their own. The fact that society is accurately accepting such pressure and the opposition cannot take it to grip it and make it a political power is a problem. For me, what is missing is a leader. “
Asked about Alexis Tsipras, he commented:
“I think the only one who can inspire and giving government perspective is Alexis Tsipras. For me he has to go back to active policy. With him I had only one conflict for Prespa, I think it was his mistake, it was Tsipras’ gift to Mitsotakis. My relationship with him is good today, we talk together. I believe that the move she made made it right but slowly. He had proven that he is a personality that comes from the left, but can manage power. There is no one else, only he can give the hope of a new governance. “
“Putting rules with Tsipras and asking for a new cooperation at the level of shaping a front that can be followed by an agenda I believe, I would discuss it with him. Not to go to a new party executive. I would only work with him with my own party. I will tell you something: Tsipras had proposed to me to become a vice -president of the government and I didn’t accept it. “
“If Samaras makes a party I will get involved with politics”
The debate then revolved around the scenarios of his own new descent in politics, with Panos Kammenos noting that it is not for “mild politics”, but for “more difficult situations that we need to make combinations, cooperation governments where we will need to clash”.
“I had said a while ago that if Samaras was going to make a party, I would get involved because I think he would once again go to fool the Right World in Greece, as in 1993. I will suggest to those who are thinking of going to the Samaritan Party to see Konstantinos Mitsotakis’ speech at the Olympic Stadium in the 1993 elections, To understand who Antonis Samaras was. “
“I respect his personal tragedy, I want to separate this. Samaras on a political level wants to do what he always did: to get a share of power to negotiate. He wants to get 10-15 Members to go to Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ successor and tell him “you will give me 5 ministries to give you a vote of confidence”. I believe he will express it, “he said.
And continued by saying:
“I think the political scene right now is so fluid. We have a potential Samaritan party, a possible Tsipras party, we have a potential succession to Kyriakos Mitsotakis in ND, we have a possible party from the tragic government. Karystianou is fighting for her daughter, Rucci strikes a hunger, can gather 1 million people on the streets. The feeling of lack of justice can create new political forces. “
