“Try with this discussion to find a way out of the deadlocks you have”
Questions about the security, defense policy and the situation of the Armed Forces raised from the House of Representatives to the debate on defense policy and the equipment The president of SYRIZA Socrates questioning government policy in defense.
He called for explanations for issues such as the mission to Libya and the disasters to Stefanovikio and Anchialos. He pointed out the contradiction between government statements about the Greek defense industry and the reality of its degradation.
At the same time, he asked whether Nikos Tsafos remains in his place, despite his controversial statements.
“Try with this discussion to find a way out of your impasses. We do not trust you in the matter of defense as well. Why do you do this on this subject, steps backwards by damaging the country. “ Mr. Famellos emphasized. He added that “you came to tell us what you will do. But you are a 6 -year prime minister. You have to tell us why you didn’t do it for 6 years. “
Elsewhere he said that strong defense without strong defense policy is not done. “How much can the country be safe when society is insecure and vulnerable? We need strong legal forces and a strong deterrent. But they do not become without strong policy. “
“You said you are investing in the Greek defense industry while the opposite is true. It is systematically depreciated, “he said, while elsewhere he said,” You remembered the armed forces with announcements after 6 years. Why don’t you take a positive attitude to our amendment to reset 13th and 14th salaries? “
Mr Famellos spoke of a record of departures from the Armed Forces, such as the Navy and stressed that there was no defense without executives.
“You didn’t talk about peace today. The biggest investment is peace. That is why we support the deterrent capacity of the armed forces[…] It is not a success to move on to a race of equipment because you failed to defend the prosperity of the peoples of Europe. And even a race without the Greek defense industry, “he said, adding,” how one can trust a political leadership that has made so many mistakes and now says that it will solve the problems it has created. “
“We believe in single European foreign policy. We want foreign policy for security and peace that will reduce tensions. We are not against equipment as long as they serve the defense of the homeland. But you have failed in foreign policy. As a country we have no strategy and that is why we are constantly in the face of dead ends. An external policy without ballast. Here you brought things, you are dangerous, “Socrates Famellos added.
In his speech, the president of SYRIZA also referred to the meeting of Kyriakos Mitsotakis with Benjamin Netanyahu saying, “You met Mr Nietaniachou, who has a arrest warrant, you did not see the Palestinian president, you didn’t say a single word for the blood.”
“Will you give an answer to the espionage and the monitoring of military leadership by the EYP?” he asked along the way.
“This is your heritage. The tail country of both Brussels and the US, ”he also stressed during his speech.
