In its announcement, the SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance commemorates the anniversary of August 21, 2018, the day on which the then prime minister, Alexis Tsiprashe had announced by Ithaca the completion of support programs for the country.
SYRIZA notes that, seven years after the New Democracy has taken over the government, citizens find daily that the country, instead of progressing, is taking steps backwards. He accuses the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis of dominating corruption, interpretation and unscrupulous speculation, while stressing that the concealment of scandals is a daily routine.
Finally, Koumoundourou argues that August 2018 is proof that a determined government can, even under the burden of extremely adverse conditions, implement policies that favor citizens and the most vulnerable social groups.
