The dilemmas of the next elections and the image of the opposition -on the occasion of the former prime minister’s speech Alexis Tsipras On Tuesday night-, the case of Temps but also the finances (by news for their Borrowers in Swiss franc) were some of the issues raised in the interview of the Vice President of the Government Kostis Hatzidakis on the TV station “Blue Sky”.
«It is, I think, more than obvious that the opposition is in a very big crisis. That is why there is this fragmentation. And that is why in various ways it turns out that any dissatisfaction exists for government policy, cannot be capitalized by the opposition in its various versions. In this scene, I find it reasonable to be concerned about Mr Tsipras. But I don’t want to watch him in his reflection“, Was Mr. Hatzidakis’ introductory comment on this issue.
By simultaneously pointing that ”We cannot choose our opponents. For us, our opponent is our daily lives, our bad self and time, in the sense that by the elections in 2027 we must have solved a number of problems. These are our opponents».
On the occasion of her research, however Opinion Poll, where a percentage 21,9% responds positively to the possibility of leading Alexis Tsipras of a new political body, the deputy prime minister reminded that in the past polls were given “In establishing parties similar numbers, but (parties) did not then had a corresponding ending” And then, “the sure thing is that the opposition is in a deeper crisis”, after all, “All these questions in the polls also reflect this crisis. I don’t see any impressive reception of Mr. Tsipras“, He noticed.
On the other hand, he repeated, ‘Our job is to focus on our plan, in our plan, to be modest, serious and effective. This is what the world wants” At this point, he even pointed out that ‘In 2027, in the second semester, Greece will have the presidency of the European Union-and will have it at a time when “it will be decided who will be the multi -year budget of the European Union, from the 2028 up to 2034. We care about farmers. We care about the projects funded by the NSRF. We care about defense. We care about a number of things. Who will represent the country. “
Consequently, ‘As I see things today – and now I speak as a citizen – it does not seem to me that there is some coordinated political force other than the New Democracy to represent the country seriously” After all, he continued, “if our fellow citizens saw something different, they would show it in the publicization. Would not be PASOK stuck to 12%. It would not be that the other parties (stuck) in single digit numbers cannot stand and move on. “
In the case of Tempi, in relation to the proposal of four parties for the charge of the last betrayal against the Prime Minister, Mr. Hatzidakis emphasized: “If I wanted to be strict, I would say that they are dead. Because they are not ashamed, they do not respect anything. To keep the style I usually have, I would say it is an unbearable lightness. Unbearable lightness that is, I think, first of all the parties whose MPs sign this. Of course parents and relatives of victims have unlimited right to believe anything they think, claim what they want” And opposition parties have the obligation ‘Strictly control the government, but there are some limits. Elemental logic …».
For Swiss franc borrowers: Solution within 2025 “as satisfactory as possible”
In the discussion of the finances by answering a question about their Borrowers in Swiss francMr. Hatzidakis noted that ‘the processing is continued, as far as I know, by the Ministry of Finance and there will be a solution The more satisfactory as possible. I can’t give you a specific day now because I don’t handle it personally. ” However, he continued, “Yes, it will definitely be in 2025. It may be much earlier before time is closed, but I don’t want to be very specific.” In conclusion, ”The initiative will move as far as possible, but it will definitely be better than it is now. “ -And there should be no doubt about it, he added. “It was a government commitment since I was a finance minister and we don’t get our word back“, He said with emphasis.
Finally, with the loss of parliamentary status in three former now, MPs of the Spartans, Mr Hatzidakis described the debate as a “scientifically interesting” as to whether the House should have 297 or 300 MPs. However, he said, “I don’t see the meaning of this discussion. The competent court is the Supreme Special Court, (which) it has decided in this way. ” And, in closing, he stressed, “other views can be supported scientifically. But in essence, the issue was resolved ».
