“The only ballot box won by SYRIZA in 2019 and in 2023 was from prisons”
In the wake of waiting for the Prime Minister’s announcements at the TIF, with the backdrop of discussions on electoral law, the re -emergence of Alexis Tsipras and the new bill being prepared, the Minister was placed on SKAI on Wednesday morning (27/8). Thanos Plevris.
“Always and all the time, the prime minister in every TIF he goes, based on the potential of the Greek economy, is trying to return to Greek citizens a large part of the good career that may exist,” the minister said.
“It is not the prime minister who will come out to make announcements that are not implemented. The main bet that Kyriakos Mitsotakis has achieved all these years is that what he says to the TIF are seen by citizens next year. “
“This year we know that there will be a direction to relieve a framework on the tax and where it can be supported. I believe that all this will be blessed with a direct result for Greek citizens, “he said, while asking about the deterioration of government rates based on the latest poll, he replied:
“Of course we also have a total of 25% undecided. Certainly the government is judged by the actions. Are all things well? Not all things are good and obviously the citizens have their protest and they want to give messages. Of course, the value of the polls is when they take place in an election time. It is very important for us, precisely because we are a government, not to rely on the fragmentation we see in the opposition with the absence of an alternative proposal, but to persuade citizens. “
“The government is in the second half of the second four years, to know what we are saying. If we have historically seen what is going on at this stage, we wouldn’t even discuss if we would be the dominant party. We don’t celebrate. Coming to say that we have greatly developed the disposable income of the Greeks is a reality. Accordingly, however, we see that there are problems related to everyday life and we need to speed up there. “
“The only ballot box won by SYRIZA in 2019 and in 2023 was from prisons”
As for his electoral law and his change scenarios, Mr Plevris commented that when rates, albeit poll, are not what you want, solutions are not the change in electoral law. “That is, it is not to make an electoral law that says that with any percentage someone makes a government. Stability is more produced when you convince citizens. Let me remind you that in the election of 2023 the prime minister chose to persuade the citizens and we got a percentage that they didn’t expect. The key that the prime minister has made clear is that there is no question of changing electoral law. “
“We will criticize Mr Tsipras. The reality is not an insult. To say that with two laws he chose – Paraskevopoulos’ law and a change of criminal code – he managed to lose in all regions of Greece except prisons. The only ballot box won by SYRIZA in 2019 and 2023 was the prison ballot. Why? Because he made a framework for the first time in time, with a law that was all out of quantitative and without qualitative gradation. And he did it for congestion. In 2019 a week before the election, he brought a criminal code and reduced the sentences to rapists, murderers, terrorists. “
‘The doctrine in migration is a prison or a return’
Finally, regarding the new bill of the Ministry of Immigration, Mr. Plevris informed that the main aspects are:
“First, the illegal stay is criminalized. Anyone who is currently rejected by asylum and does not work to return will have a prison sentence of 2 to 5 years. The only ability not to be executed is to work together to return. The doctrine is a prison or return. Those who come from now on, if they do not have a refugee profile, will be in custody for up to 24 months. So the one who comes in is no longer free. We keep him, we inform him that the country from which you are coming does not justify asylum and if it is rejected, it will enter 5 years in prison. “
“We also expand the countries that can return. At the moment, this is only concerned with countries of origin, and now we go to countries with a simple stay, third safe countries. Because the other may come from a country that was in danger, but it may have passed from 10 other countries that is not in danger, “he added.
“The legalization of immigrants is also abolished after 7 years. It ends with this bill. The important thing is, whoever is rejected by asylum is now in a dilemma: either he will go to prison or a country that is not in danger. The Pakistani is not in danger in Pakistan, “he concluded.
