“I neither fooled you, nor have I played corrupt games”
“Our debt to the TIF is to present a program that can improve the life of the Greek people,” the PASOK president said -moving to change change. Nikos Androulakis In an interview with OREN TV station.
Noting that PASOK presents the activities of Mr Mitsotakis’ government every day until Friday, he noted that “From the” Black Bible “of the six -year rule, we will go to the political solution we will present the next weekend from the step of the Thessaloniki International Exhibition.”
Mr Androulakis emphasized that the government “came in 2019 with the precursors to heal the state-court-injured state-in-law, to address issues of inequality, to create growth- the word” growth “was emblematic of Mr Mitsotakis’ program- and we did not only see them.” Added that “While billions of European resources have fallen and of the recovery fund and other funds, instead of the country going forward, the country is either stagnant or declining in specific areas.”. Speaking about PASOK’s “different political philosophy”, he stressed that “every social group will not get a antidote, it will take a proposal.” “That is, for example, small and medium -sized people want the 120 doses. The 120 installments are a solution that concerns thousands of businesses, thousands of households, so that they can viable to repay their debt, “he continued.
Regarding the 13th salary “and the different numbers in terms of the budgetary costs that the government spokesman shows from day to day”, Mr Androulakis noted that “4 months ago the responsible minister came with the Director of the State Accounting Office in the House of Representatives. contributions. ” “When in February they leaked that they were discussing to restore the 13th and 14th salary, didn’t they know that? They would know. So not only did they lie, but Mr. Pierrakakis came out with full arrogance and told civil servants: “Even if I had them, you didn’t get a 13th salary,” he commented. “Did they ask the European Commission? Here we have a surplus that they want to use purely in democratic terms’, he said.
In the same context, he asked why PASOK must enter “the New Democracy game, which says it will give $ 1.5 billion, the other 1.7, the other $ 2.5 billion” And he noted that “here we express a total policy that will change growth, change the welfare state, change the functions of institutions, change public administration and our country will go on better days. Another policy gives other flexibility to public policy. “
Referring to tax issues, PASOK’s president made it clear that “we believe that there must be more scales, there must be pricing so that people can see their purchasing power to increase, and not the accuracy of” eating “their income.”
It also stood on the issue of increases in electricity invoices: “The average family in Greece paid 52% more energy, while the average in Europe is 32%. Young people with single parent families and couples saw a 63% increase in Greece during the New Democracy years, while 30% in Europe. Small and very small businesses have a 65%increase in Greece, while in Europe the average is 51%. The New Democracy characterizes the “offshore” the problem of increasing energy costs, but it became endemic. “
As to the OPECEPE scandal committee, he commented that “if they do what they do every time -not to call critical witnesses, as they did in spying and Tempi -it will be a New Democracy show again as it was in previous scandals”.
“If our future is for the next government to be a system of power as we have learned in the last 10 years with the culture that has operated by Mr Tsipras or Mr Mitsotakis’ power system, then I live in that we were burnt down.”he noted. Mr. Androulakis argued that “both of these systems have proven one thing: they have no moral barrier. In his altar to conquer and maintain power, he is capable of everything. ” “If we want to have a better future, then the next government must have a political morality, another mentality of respect for institutions,” he noted. Said, among other things that here ‘We’re talking about closed power systems that don’t want to be held accountable’when we see games with justice, impunity, attacks on the independent authorities and an economy that does not go ahead -as in many European countries that have also been difficult but steps forward with transparency. “
According to Mr Androulakis, “if we want the country to change the page, we have political change, PASOK must be the first party in the elections, otherwise the New Democracy will remain.” “PASOK,” he stressed, “must be at least a vote first in the elections, to take the order, to have another government committing these few – because I personally do not propose billions of euros, as some in the past – few and in particular, become a practice.” That is, he continued, “to improve institutions, to improve democracy, every Greek who wants to produce, not to get the state obstacle, to have a fair tax system and our country to go in a better direction. A normal European country. “
And continuing in a personal tone, he said: “Have you seen me speak toxic? Should I hare hares with rockets? Did I become president of PASOK with pushing the oligarchy? Did anyone take me a leader? Whatever I have done, I have done it with my potential, with my struggle in the spotlight, without a background. Look at my course to date and trust me. I neither fooled you, nor have I played corrupt games. I say specific things and I think that our country with political morality and seriousness can become a normal European country. “
Lastly, in Greek -Turkish relations, he noted on the investment of the electrical interconnection “which does not make progress”: “What does Turkey say? “Come on the butcher bench, get permission to exercise your sovereign rights.” So there are no “calm water”. The narrative of “calm waters” in which Mr Mitsotakis invested in terms of pure communication benefited Turkey, who went to Europe and saying “put me in European equipment plans, since Greece has no problem and we have” calm waters “.”
