“With the Pan -Hellenic PASOK Youth Conference we re -bring the thread of history and look forward. Optimistic, dynamic, progressive. Together we make another jump to strengthen the democratic lineup, “he said Nikos Androulakis Speaking in the process of the SEF, and described the participation as a promising message not only for the PASOK movement but also for the country’s democracy and perspective.
The PASOK president noted that “the struggle for political change is not in vain” and that “together we can achieve political change, make your voice stronger, give voice to those who do not today.” “Together we can prove that the democratic lineup, with the reason for progress, responsibility, with the values and ideas created by PASOK, can achieve what some people now consider to be impossible: in the next national elections the policy of accuracy, inequalities, their expensive rentals, your right -wing rentals History, “he said. He argued that “Mr Mitsotakis was identified with the worst practices that brought our country to bankruptcy” and pledged that he, along with youth, “will identify with the policies that will bring hope, perspective, social justice and national dignity”.
He asked which political system is called upon to trust the younger generation, “a conservative customer political system that sends the message:” Don’t hope for anything if you have no party medium, if you are not a day, if you do not belong to the ‘system’. ” He said that “this is the message that the current government of scandals are sending, not only OPEKEPE but of the ongoing scandals that affect the country’s prestige and undermine citizens’ confidence in the political system.”
He commented that the ND government is “a lasting scandal”. “No, the ND does not change, it is incomprehensible to the logic that led us to the adventures of the Memorandums,” he said, adding that “with our government corruption will be a bad past. For us regularity is transparency, meritocracy for all, justice and opportunities for all and not the society of the powerful of hereditary rights. ” He said that “the prime minister always pretends to be the belongings, he does not apologize for anything, the past is always to blame or some next to him who operate without himself knowing.”
The PASOK president said that the youth is reclaiming its historical thread and that “as some have believed that PASOK has no future, so today we also say that both PASOK and youth have a future against maintenance and complexity.”
Mr. Androulakis talked about the necessity of a youth with progressive, democratic political consciousness, participation in the public, in the presence of workplaces and universities, kinematic action, a youth that will give the struggles of its generation, giving hope and perspective to the Greek people and the Greek people.
She talked about a youth who spent her life from crisis to crisis, so she has additional reasons to come forward, a generation “that has suffered a great collective trauma, with the Tempe tragedy, which is not compatible with the country of ‘go and where it comes out’. A generation “that instead of dreams grows with enormous difficulties that do not suit her: unemployment, renting rents, salaries that do not reach, inequalities, who suck the mind every day that there is ‘no alternative’.” But he noted that “this generation is here.” “You’re here. You didn’t give up. You went down the way to Tempi. You shouted about the climate crisis, about patriarchal stereotypes, human rights, peace and social injustice. This is the youth of today’s Greece that we are referring to today, “he said.
Mr. Androulakis noted that PASOK wants a country that will operate on the standards of the most advanced European countries, with a new and modern public administration with meritocracy.
Speaking about the international environment, PASOK’s president said that more and more powerful are not respecting international law, more and more powerful reviews of modern history, insult human rights and underestimate liberal democracy. “Our party was historically at the forefront of major international developments, for this PASOK, it is not compatible with Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine nor with Netanyahu’s ethnic cleansing at Gaza at the expense of the Palestinian people,” he said. He stressed that “we are fighting for a fair resolution of the Palestinian based on UN resolutions, as we do not forget the Cypriot tragedy and the fair resolution that must be done to re -understand the island against Attila’s barbarism. We do not accept any involvement of major private interests in Turkey in EU equipment programs. “
Mr. Androulakis stressed that there are no “natural phenomena” in politics for the Social Democrats, “for us it is not a natural phenomenon but a political choice for low wages, such as not having access to cheap and quality housing, public education to be discredited.”
He emphasized that the work and the inclusion are at the core of PASOK’s political identity and that it is therefore concerned with the protection of workers and empowering social dialogue, by reactivating collective bargaining and returning to social negotiation for the formation of the minimum. Also, a radical policy on the mortgage with the Genrent plan to exploit public property for social home, to put a brake on the looting of banks and funds. PASOK Priority The Social State: Public Health and Public Education. “In public education with inspiring universities, giving the supplies you need rather than commercialization of education as the ND government is trying to baptize non -state universities, colleges that existed in Greece.” He said that the entire education system needs structural reforms and that is why PASOK has put the national diploma in the center. He noted that the NHS cannot be degraded and underestimated and that it may not have a substantial regional structure. Mr. Androulakis talked about all kinds of inequalities in which PASOK is, noting that “our goal remains to create a truly inclusive democracy”.
By sending a message of political participation to young people, he said that all this can be achieved: “Yes, be in Tiktok. Yes, comment, post, make stories. But story is not consultation. Like is not a vote. And politics cannot continue to speak only with sterile press releases. We need new language, new content, new trust. It is not enough to ‘be there’. We have to rebuild the relationship with young people. “
“Social media is a tool, the battle in society is the struggle and on this path of the social struggle I invite you to walk together,” he concluded.
