To the need to have a wider gathering of its social and political forces Center -left the former minister reported Lucas Katseli, involved in the fermentations made in the space.
“The stake is to have a strong, effective and progressive government and a strong opposition. And the problem is not just for its parties and political forces Center -left, But it is also for the political forces of the center -right. Because, what is in my judgment is that we do not have a national road map about where we want the country to go for the next 10 years (…). ” Katseli, Speaking to the first program.
According to the former minister, the issue is to have proposals for the challenges of the season and a new strategy for the country. “A broader gathering of social and political forces (…) needs to be cultivated. It is essentially the question of how we will proceed with the productive reconstruction of the country, how we will resolve and how we are preparing for the demographic problem we have, what we will do with technology and the great shocks that are in danger of staying a large part of the population and outside and what will happen. So I really tell you that I feel as a citizen of this country a responsibility to contribute in whatever way each of us can in a new national strategy for the country. Because the coming shocks are very big and the landscape, the field is barren, “he noted.
Headed “could be Tsipras and anyone”
Then he did not fail to emphasize ‘the programming base It matters. It fits all those who embrace basic principles and the basic pillars, if you will, of a programmatic agreement. They may also be people who place themselves in the center -right, but have been radicalized, if you will, after the financial crisis and after successive crises and are ready and have opened their ears to hear alternative policies. And may not concern people who traditionally were in Left, who have been conservative and who do not consider to be included or covered by the main pillars. That is why I consider (important) the programmatic dialogue and this initiative we have taken, which I hope will produce its first results in the early autumn-that is, there will be the first open presence of interventions and alternative policies on a number of issues at the end of September (…). “
Finally, asked about the former Prime Minister and President of SYRIZA-PS, Alexis Tsipras, Ms Katseli noted characteristically, “It could be but it could be anyone. You know, Gerasimos Arsenis was saying something that was wise. He said that every season and conditions give birth to their leader. So, let’s do our job, let’s get ready, let’s cultivate a wider rally and a programmatic and political dialogue, and when time comes and the right conditions there will be the front. So if he wants it, he will get in this process too. “
