In an extensive interview on “Sunday’s Step”, the former prime minister, Antonis Samarashe returned with severe criticism of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the government, eight months after his deletion from the New Democracy. Mr Samaras does not recognize anything in the foreign policy pursued and expresses strong concern about the course of the country.
Critical criticism of foreign policy and accusations of ‘appeasement’
Antonis Samaras said he was even more concerned about the country’s foreign policy, as he argues his concerns, Kostas Karamanlis and many internationalists have been almost completely adopted. It characterizes the attitude of the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis as “arrogant” and “political brawl”, as they, instead of being concerned, accuse former prime ministers of today’s problems.
Denies the “mobility” cited by the government, arguing that it is ‘Set’. He wonders why the Foreign Minister meets with his Turkish counterpart, while Ankara openly threatens Greece by war and seeks to create a new accomplishment. Stresses that this attitude ‘Runs Turkey internationally’ And it weakens the country, resulting in losing allies.
Heavy categories for OPEKEPE and ND change
Referring to the OPEKEPE scandal, Mr Samaras described what happened in Parliament as an “unprecedented insult and inadequacy”, stressing that the government “cooked” situations, affecting the ND MPs themselves. He spoke of “canceling the institutional normalcy of the Transfiguration” and said that the revelations about OPECEPE’s circuits expose the country and honest farmers.
In addition, the former prime minister argued that the New Democracy has suffered ‘Mutation’turning into something completely different from what Constantine Karamanlis founded. Mr Samaras said that is why he feels “sad” and that the line has lost at least half of its voters.
Its deletion, the “91 Declaration” and rumors of a new party
For his deletion, Mr Samaras said that the prime minister did not regret it, who had predetermined it, but he regrets the course leading the line. “I’m not sorry, our faction is sorry,” he said.
About ‘Declaration of 91“, He said he agreed on almost everything, as he detects a” real problem “and a” political gap “. When asked directly if he is thinking of setting up a party, he replied: “For the time being I have nothing else to tell you.”
Economy: Accuracy, Energy Policy and New Planning
In closing, Mr Samaras commented on the US-EU agreement, stressing that Europe was painful. Concerning accuracy in Greece, he argued that it is the result of the wrong energy policy, stressing that prices would not fall unless there is a radical change. He also called to reduce VAT on basic products, as the middle class and small and medium -sized enterprises are tested hard.
