“The families of the victims demand that these indictments be supported. We call on opposition parties to take a stand. Only the navigation of freedom has supported them, ”he added.
For European interventions of the Republic Movement
‘The Democracy Movement is now a member of the European Democratic Party. We have informed the European Parliament on Tempi and we bring the issue to the EU plenary for the first time. In Strasbourg, in the heart of Europe, We bring the case institutionally“He pointed out and continued:
“There is also a question with Siemens transformers. If 2/3 of the train in Europe is of the same type, then we are talking about a pan -European security issue. “
For economy and surplus
“Having a surplus economy is positive. But this huge surplus appeared at the last minute. The Greek people were leaving for € 1.1 billion now as benefits, ”he said and added:
“The first thing to do was to give back the retirees back to retirees and to come back to Christmas and Easter. We are talking about steady measures of 900 million euros. “
For the housing crisis and the proposals of the movement
“The government’s allowance for supposedly supporting vulnerable can have the opposite effects and lead to increases. Instead, we propose the creation of 4,000 student homes and houses with guaranteed government bonds. We need to increase the roof supply to push the prices down, ”he said.
‘We can give other motives, so that the landlords do not pass the subsidy to tenants by raising prices. B.C. tax incentives or reduced taxation in rents. “
For transparency and institutional reconstruction
“We have submitted a proposal for a law on transparency in the finances of the parties. Concerning institutional issues, we are committed to bringing justice and transparency to the country, “he said, adding:” We do not ask for the voter. We ask to hear and evaluate our work, not the words. “
For the dynamics of the Democracy Movement
“People recognize our efforts. The Democracy Movement records upward trend in polls“He noted Mr. Kasselakis. “It is healthy for the citizen not to blindly follow the political leaders, but to require work and accountability,” he said.
