PASOK MP of ND as a “period of opacity and corruption” of the Staff State described the six -year governance of ND. Michalis Katrinispeaking on the MEGA morning show with journalists I. Hasapopoulos and A. Voulgaris, bringing OPECEPE as an example.
As he said, “instead of the government to modernize the country, all it is to do is distribute it to days of Community money, but money should go to real farmers and breeders.” He stressed that while the government thinks that the refund has expired and there is no politically responsible and accountable, the case of the illegal VAT ID, which was revealed by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, proves that “a system facilitated and guided illegal practices, with no money”.
In relation to the issue of immigration, PASOK’s MP stressed that “legal immigration from illegal” should be separated. He recalled that the law on legal immigration approved 16 months ago by the ministerial contained “positive provisions, such as that those who have been in the country can receive a residence permit to meet the needs of land workers for workers in many sectors of the economy”. However, not only does it remain inactive, but by ND executives such as Mr Voridis “a dangerous rhetoric of hate and xenophobia is cultivated”, which serves small party intentions and communication needs. Katrinis noted that “the big battle at European level will be fought next summer, where the country has to seek a change in the European policies that concern it.”
Referring to the anniversary of September 3, Michalis Katrinis stressed that the fundamental ideals and its authorities remain timely. He recalled that Andrea Papandreou’s PASOK was a subversion movement that gave opportunities and rights to millions of citizens, “for this, and 35-40 years later, in recent polls, citizens are evaluating at that time as the best of their lives.” He emphasized that today, at a different time, the demand for the change is dominant again and “PASOK is coming back with proposal and with positions such as to make this political change, which the majority demands.”
Responding to a question about the scenarios for Alexis Tsipras, PASOK’s MP said that “these discussions make it easier for Mr. Mitsotakis” to focus on the past. He raised the question and question of the unity of the progressive world, pointing out that a possible split of SYRIZA cannot be an answer to this question.
