The Prime Minister’s speech to the ND political committee – new party secretary Costas Skrekas
“We meet in a key juncture for the government and the lineup. In the two years after the double electoral victory, the highest collective body of our party is called upon to organize our political journey to the next ballot box. Then with the slogan “we said it we did” we will ask for a strong order for a fertile third term, “Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in her IP ND.
The prime minister thanked Maria Syrengela for keeping the steering wheel of the party’s secretary as the first woman in this position. “You are now coming to trust this responsibility in your successor, for which my proposal is Kostas Skrekas. A steep New Democrat and at the same time an experienced, effective executive. I am sure that as secretary of the IP he will work with the same commitment, “he continued. Mitsotakis.
The prime minister referred to what preceded it. “The place was not just upright, it went on to do this with this lineup and starring every New Democrat and New Democrat. It is not the purpose to account for what we have achieved, ”he added and mentioned, among other things: the 500,000 new jobs, the reduction of 72 new taxes, wage and pensions increases, in the armor of the homeland with Rafale and Bhelarra, in the effective treatment of immigration, in the new migration, the new migration, the NSS, in the decline in unemployment, in increasing pay, in the fight against tax evasion that provides benefits for the wider community as will happen by returning a rent in November and reinforcement retirees, on the E -E -Card, in the CoE’s decision to operate non -state, in Health where he made a special reference to the tradition of drugs.
“It is the very life that responds to those who are mourn. Add the Thessaloniki Metro, the big road projects that are evolving, the new buses, the electronic ticket to the stadiums that have been a great success in the battle against hooliganism, the new judicial map, the marine spatial planning, and the investigations by the US.
“Our party has in its quiver many arguments that prove the rebuilding of our country these six years. It is a dynamic track that requires continuity with fewer errors and in ways that will establish reforms and extend their range, “he said.
Continuing, he referred to wars of “large and small scale, with energy rearrangements”, and stressed that we need to lead to immediate tension to avoid, as he said, problems that concern us immediately.
“Greece has the ability to stay away because of political stability and strong alliances. National confidence and normalcy are transformed into an intangible advantage of our country. The citizen is experiencing a double attack, misinformation and fake news and opposition that wants to cover her inadequacy with boldness, cynicism and vulgarity. Her own weakness becomes a wound for our own democratic life. Not all parties may follow the same tones, nor the same practices. Their goal is common to throw the government, without any hesitation that their attitude leads to new adventures. 10 years after the 2015 summer tragedy some learned nothing. Their handling of Tempi tragedy is indicative. Instead of trusting justice, instead of criticizing bad texts, instead of suggesting solutions for safer trains, they chose adventurism. They reached the point of linking deaths that had nothing to do with the case. Desperately reached the most extreme walk. To accuse ministers and me of being a prime minister for the ultimate betrayal. I repeat for the ultimate betrayal. They dared to tarnish the lineup of Constantine Karamanlis who brought the Republic to the place for allegedly attempting to overthrow it, “he said.
Mr Mitsotakis continued: “And together with a prime minister with the popular mandate of three consecutive matches. We should not allow the House to slip into such a miserable agenda. Otherwise, the political confrontation will escape any limit. This is not called democracy. It is a nightmare of its cake. We will not become complicit against parliament. We will reveal those who took advantage of the most vulgar, most fortunate way a collective tragedy. We will say the rest on time. This partnership of the limbs is not new. We have lived it in the upper and lower squares of 2015. Then we had Mr. Varoufakis with Mrs. Constantopoulou and Mr Tsipras hugs with Mr. Kammenos and Golden Dawn. And now in this guild of the absurd, Mrs Konstantopoulou again starred with an unexpected trio: Velopoulos, Kasselakis, Natsios. What can I say? To enjoy their followers. Along with the left and right crutches of populism we will also face those who also see the Tempe’s accident as a arena of political revenge. The only road that leads to cleansing was the one from the outset supported by the ND, independent judicial investigation and the path of the natural judge for any political person involved. “
The prime minister spoke of an opposition scene that has nothing to say about the present and the future. “This collapse with the ND remaining the only steady of the political system did not fall from heaven. It is due to their impasses. Most importantly, however, it is due to the dynamics of ideas and the catalytic action of the ND. Which nationalist crown can challenge a government that equip the armed forces? “He said.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that it is not the opposition that suffocates in itself, but the governmental policy that deprives it of oxygen. “Our power is our identity,” the prime minister underlined. “We do not need unsuccessful consultants. Much more than those who have been tested in this field without getting a good grade, “he noted and referred to a series of actions in foreign policy and beyond.
“Calm waters, but taking care to keep the waters always free and always blue. This homeland has its own voice that today sounds everywhere, “he said.
Mr Mitsotakis said that the founding declaration of the ND is being made timely again and is seeking bold steps. “The conquests of the place so far become foundations for the next. The effort will continue until 2031. This road map to the 2027 elections will have 4 priorities. Strengthening the middle class with fewer taxes, reinforcement of income and housing. Second a better state. Third, strengthening our national positions. Fourth and I insist very much in this, the removal of inequalities between the center and the region. No one must forget Greece’s single track. As the changes of our first term have been established today, by 2027, the changes that are being made will be established by 2027 and then open a new cycle of challenges. Constitutional review, the EU Presidency in the second half of 2027, critical environmental and development issues such as water management, continuing state digitization – we did the first major public opinion research on it, and we provided public data – continuing to stimulate income, Education. All this will be on the horizon. Let us remain on the tried -and -a -proven road of unity, renewal and enlargement. This fragmented political scene requires the gathering of wider forces. You are well aware that the role of our party trunk is key. It is the ND’s vital link with society, “he added.
Mr Mitsotakis called for more actions and tours of executives and announced that he would continue to tour systematically until the elections. “They are not pre -election tours. The job is very essential. It allows us to hear local communities, “he said, while talking about the staffing of the Secretariats, the ONNED conference, the intra -party elections and the party’s conference at the end of the year.
“There is no one left in the battles to come. You will be a leading role. In one sense, the campaign for the next election victory is now starting, for a pure victory, which will give the place security and confidence and the citizen hope and perspective. A victory that will bring it again to you who always hold the flame of the torch everywhere. I will be with you at the forefront, “he said, closing his speech.
New Secretary of ND IP Costas Skrekas
“Thanks for the great honor and confidence you showed me,” he said after his election to the ND secretary’s position Costas Skrekas. “It’s the biggest honor,” she noted and thanked Maria Syrengela separately. “Here is the story of the largest faction since 1974,” Mr Skrekas underlined, referring to a series of important stations along this route.
“The ND was always putting on the party in the national interest of the people and society,” Kostas Skrekas stressed. “The ND has often assumed political responsibility and political costs for difficult decisions by seeking consensus. The answer to the lie is the truth, it is democracy, it is the rule of law, the respect for the legal order, “he noted.
The new ND secretary has also spoken, among other things, about an open party, including, modern, digital and intervening in the society that listens to society.
“A party open to new ideas, new proposals and new faces with the outdated dividing lines of yesterday,” he noted. “We are next to the citizens, along with the citizens. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis signifies this course first of all, “he added.
“Let’s go for the 3rd four -year period of ND with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis,” he said, closing his speech.
