“The White Bible needs very big changes,” PASOK President said
“The White Paper wants great changes and because the suit will be narrow we must take initiatives each of its own political descendants to improve this text, because it is a great opportunity and unfortunately painful compromises reduce the opportunities that Greece can have,” Nikos Androulakis in his secondary in Parliament.
The president of the PASOK-Main of Change said that did not get from the prime minister the answers on the issues he has raised And he stressed that it is very crucial, in whatever European political group, to understand that it is a historic opportunity for Greece and future generations. “If we are now planning the issues of European defense and our strategy in them properly, future generations will pay fewer expenses and have better defense and better security than the previous ones,” he said, adding that it was therefore a major national issue.
Addressing the prime minister, he said that “there is no national victory in the White Bible, the clause is not a national victory, the clause is cut and sewn for strong and you have to negotiate.” “There must be subsidies for states such as Greece, we have given billions to our own and for European security, because our borders are European. It will not put us in the vise to take loans again, to raise public debt and after 10 years to say why. Now is the momentum they understand that we were right for 20 years when we were talking about these issues. Subsidies Mr Mitsotakis, you have to negotiate. “
Mr. Androulakis commented that Europe was a sleepwalker and did not make decisions at the time it was concerned with the responsibilities of its leadership team, the EPP. “Read the resolution of the European Parliament and take after the White Bible text on defense and make a comparison to understand what EPP means and how compromises with their far -right lead to political choices of degrading a vision of a common defense, common foreign policy, and the euro.” He said Article 42 was the success of the Simitis government, wondered what happened next, to comment: “Great successes that slowly lost their momentum. There are responsibilities here in your own space. ” He noted that “what we are living in this time to collapse NATO’s security, there is a direct challenge of advanced states, Canada, Denmark, EU countries, and instead of rapidly running the European Parliament to propose with wide -ranging consensus and staying obsessive, the European Commission is being obsessed. Laienne belongs to your party. “
He said that the defense industry at the Rearm Europe is absent from the escape clause and that by having only a recommendation and not a commitment, member states can use billions as they want, even buying Turkish and American weapons. “So with the European money money no the benefit or binding benefit to the European economy.”
Mr. Androulakis noted that we should raise as we can as the issue of arms export to third countries. “Opening America to Europe’s industries will create greater dependencies. Now the frame has to get in. Not everyone can sell weapons wherever they want. That is, could a country in Europe sell weapons in Russia in them, while Ukrainians are fighting with European weapons? Why can he do this with the country of Attila and Casus Belli? ” He said that there must be a pan -European campaign “for our right to true solidarity and not buy weapons from the same pillar and Turkey. But then let’s say why we can’t compete. ” “All this must become a political agenda in our country throughout this process of dialogue of defense,” he noted. In addition, he said that while the European Parliament clearly puts the Eurostas line, there is no White Bible.
The PASOK President, among other things, called for the strengthening of the Audit Role of Equipment Programs to have an understanding and continuing control over the progress of all contracts. “That means ‘transparency’ and that has to be done,” he said.
“You probably address your ministers competing with who is the most pro -friendly,” he said, commenting on the reports made by Mr Mitsotakis on the increases of uniforms. “They have not understood what the clause is, they think they are no money and go politically to the announcements. You say ‘patience, all in time’. What is their time? Pre -election? Hostage to people of the announcements and literature and interventions of your ministers? Nice policy, “he said.
Mr Androulakis said, among other things, that there are no issues only for Minister Nikos Tsoffos, “here there is a minister who has clearly spoken of the Aegean co -operation, I did not hear him apologize …”.
