PASOK President spoke at the Conference on the Economy and Development “Greece 2025-2030”
At the Conference on the Economy and Development “Greece 2025-2030”, the PASOK Change President spoke. Nikos Androulakis And he criticized the government and the prime minister of viewing the state as a loot.
“Mr Mitsotakis has been comfortable with the logic that the state is loot. That is, the state, the powerful player is the prime minister and his environment, they use it as well as customer, whether it is justice or public administration. I hear him say that he wants meritocracy in the public and his government is a champion of direct assignments, and the employees, “Mr. Androulakis said, asking the question” how do you want meritocracy in the public, when your government is not a champion of two. The proper functioning of public administration and meritocracy? ” She pointed out that it is good when the government announces to have proven by its actions that it believes them. “The main difference of PASOK to the government is that we will work for a state in the service of the citizen and not a state of the rulers,” Mr. Androulakis stressed.
During his debate with journalist Nikos Chatzinikolaou, the opposition leader was raised on foreign policy issues where he noted that “in the government on” nuclear “diplomacy issues do not agree with each other.” “Is it possible for issues of the Western Balkans, Turkey, the Southeast Mediterranean, but to say one Mrs Bakoyannis, the other Mr. Gerapetritis, the other Mr. Mitsotakis, the other Mr. Dendias? Is this serious diplomacy? Doesn’t it expose our country? ” The PASOK-KINAL president wondered.
He stood in particular on the issue of the Pontic of Greece’s electrical interconnection cable with Cyprus and Israel. “It is an investment of 2 billion, of which 800 million is European money. From next month the Greek people begin to pay for investment. Will the cable be bet? What is the timetable for completing a large and strategic project inextricably linked to respect for our sovereign rights on the part of Turkey? ” Mr Androulakis said, criticizing the prime minister for the response he gave to the House. “He came to the House and held me the company press release that said the investment was continuing. But what would the company say it has stopped? If she stops she wants to get her compensation, ”she noted.
He also referred to Turkey’s participation in the Safe program. “The government shows us as a success of Turkey’s participation in the Safe program while it is outrageously wrong with a country with Turkey’s destabilizing role, its private companies to be able to use European taxpayer money for equipment programs at 1/3 of the value of the equipment program. The unanimity cited by the New Democracy concerns only bilateral relations, namely Turkey-Germany, Turkey-Spain. A weapon can be made by a Turkish company by 33% without any intervention in our country. So for me it is a decision against our national interests. We had to stack the legs in the council and there is no such plan because we could find it in the future. “
At the same time, Nikos Androulakis underlined the increase in living costs. “Everything has climbed over 10%in a year. Why doesn’t the market work? There are no rules. And wherever they exist, they do not apply because there are no control mechanisms. What do we say? Strong Competition Committee, Powerful DIMEA, Single Consumer Authority to inform the citizen on the shelf which multinational speculations in his pocket compared to other European countries. So one issue is the rules in the market and their implementation with significant fines. “
In addition, it criticized banks for distorted policy. “PASOK has submitted a comprehensive proposal in November by lump sum tax to put pressure on banks to change policy on private debt management and interest rates. The New Democracy made a jerk. The result today we are talking about is that we have a further increase in the interest rate difference of deposits-deposits, which remains twice the average of the European Union, so money is expensive compared to other European states in investment, “the PASOK president argued.
On the energy, Mr. Androulakis stressed: “It is a scandal of the way the New Democracy made the distribution of energy space at the expense of productive Greece and for the benefit of domestic oligarchy. We will find this in front of us, we already see it in the cost of production that undermines both the primary sector and processing. “
