“The only ones missing Mr Tsipras is in the 17,000 barbarians, to rapists and arsonists, his governance was the happiest time for them,” he said today Government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis, commenting on the recent interview of former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in the French newspaper Le Monde.“Mr Tsipras lost in the elections in all geographical areas, in all professional groups except prisons. Mr Tsipras’ works and days are well known: he charged the citizens with 100 billion euros, deceived Greek society, it is the prime minister whose own Minister of Justice spoke of justice ministry, he is the one who has ruled with the far right. Marinakis.
During today’s political editors, the government spokesman also launched an attack on the opposition on its request to reintroduce the 13th salary, which costs 1.5 billion euros in budget, and called on PASOK to say that they were only 10 million.
“That is, only civil servants will receive a salary and not reduce other taxes for freelancers, private employees, civil servants, not to give more permanent measures to retirees, but to come to say this to the PASOK and those who say, Money, “he said.
Indeed, the Undersecretary of State under the Prime Minister accused PASOK of “political deception or political irrelevance” for a statement by the opposition party for the primary surplus. Specifically, Mr. Marinakis noted, inter alia, that “PASOK are politicized in terms of political deception, or irritation. Either they were unreadable or consciously caught cheating. PASOK compares the GDP increase in real terms, to note that in this number, namely 9.2% including the incidence of inflation, with the rate of inflation in the country already calculated in the previous number. This is called political fraud. We do not celebrate the economy because there are citizens with real problems, but we will not lie to them. GDP increase by 9.2% is twice as much as the eurozone average. We have managed to be closer to Europe, it is an effort that has been quite a bit and we still have enough distance to travel. The last thing the country needs is new political scammers. “
Regarding the proposal, prepared by PASOK in the face of Mr Androulakis’ presence at the TIF, Pavlos Marinakis noted, among other things, that “in PASOK they know how to count the days but have not learned to count the money by taking into account the EU fiscal rules. PASOK repeats SYRIZA’s populist rhetoric and attempts to restore the logic of the borrowers, with which it has been introduced to us in the past 10 years. It is also contradictory to seek everything and at the same time to denounce the increase in state revenue that is a prerequisite for all these measures. “
Concerning the immigration and specifically statements by Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis against the UN’s special rapporteur on human rights defenders Mary Lolor, Mr Marinakis said that “there is no question in any institution, but there is no question in any institution.” Regarding the accusations of various NGOs for government policy, Pavlos Marinakis pointed out that “the management control of NGOs, which are subject to the Ministry of Immigration and Asylum and funded will continue” and made it clear that “any changes to the operation of the NGO register”. He added that “it seems that the very difficult decisions made by the government two months ago did, that amendment have taken a place as arrivals have fallen largely. The government is accountable to society and citizens and makes decisions in its interest. We will continue to be held accountable to the citizens and the society that wants this rigorous and fair policy. Not all NGOs are the same. “
Asked about addressing the demographic problem, the government spokesman confirmed that “a significant portion of the prime minister’s announcements at the TIF will focus on supporting the Greek family, with the prediction of further reinforcement. The demographic will not be solved by one or two meters, we want to support families. The support of the family will be at the top of our priorities. “
Asked about a possible change in the electoral law, Mr Marinakis reiterated that “he is in full what the prime minister said a month ago in a television interview” and added that “I do not understand the stress of opposition parties as they are a major policy.”
Asked when to announce the opening of the OPEKEPE case, the government spokesman replied that “the timetable will be announced by the House, it will not be late, we hope this time the examination is up to the height of the circumstances. We will also soon have the first positive news from the front of the stolen recovery. Also regarding a question about the prospect of re -establishing the request for a pre -trial committee, Mr Marinakis stressed that “what the opposition is seeking has no legal basis, all they care about is producing noise”.
Regarding the non -state universities, which is going to operate in our country next October, the government spokesman noted, among other things, that “it is in this reform, we are alone in the political scene, but enjoyable that we are with the majority of Greek society. The government’s choice is justified and announcements are shortly. It is clear that we have set the strictest criteria at the European Union level and that the bill was completely constitutional. In the first place, the universities approved by the Independent Authority will begin to operate and the rest will need to update their files. This is a victory of the self -evident. Greece has been late for decades under PASOK’s responsibility and I remind you of the historic 2006 column. “
