Following the full text of the interview
- The political season just threw a curtain, with the OPECEPE scandal at the top of the news. In what conclusions, politically and legally, did you come to a three -day parliamentary controversy, Mr Representatives?
The first conclusion to be drawn is that we have a prime minister who is ruthless. In order to hide the OPEKEPE scandal and not to control the two former ministers, M. Voridis and L. Avgenakis, referring to the European Public Prosecutor’s case, Mr Mitsotakis humiliated the House, proceeding with a miserable approach. The plenary image, at midnight last Wednesday, with the majority’s empty seats, will forever follow Mr. Mitsotakis. At the same time, this picture shows that the ND leader He has lost control of his parliamentary group. The fear of the leaks, which led Mr. Mitsotakis to the miserable approach with the letter votes, as well as the complete abstinence from the vote of about half of his MPs, show that Mr Mitsotakis is in disarray.
- The process, however, was struck by Mr Floridis’ positioning against the opposition and our fellow citizens who react to the arrival of Israeli tourists that you are acting, in favor of Turkey. Can the Minister of Justice remain in place?
The position of the Minister of Justice was miserable and provocative. Mr. Floridis, who comes from PASOK because he entered the ND. Sitting on a ministerial bench, he has the fanaticism of the new -born Janissarus. At the moment when the proposal to set up a preliminary committee for the OPEKEPE scandal was discussed in the House of Representatives, G. Floridis chose to unleash misery for “national minority”! This is how the ERE spoke of its political opponents. And even on the major issue of the genocide committed by the Netanyahu regime in Gaza. All of this, of course, is a consequence of the identification of the Mitsotakis government with the criminal regime of Netanyahu, which shames and also leads the country to isolation.
- How do you deal with these reactions to Rhodes, Crete and elsewhere?
They are symbolic solidarity moves to the tested people of Palestine, who face the threat of extinction by the Netanyahu regime daily. Citizens’ peaceful protest is a constitutionally guaranteed right. The persecution of citizens who are protesting against the barbaric regime of Netanyahu under the anti -racist law do not have the slightest legal status, they are an act of political bullying. See how the leaderships of France and England were placed to create an independent Palestinian state, also see that, after the Netherlands, Sweden calls for a suspension of the EU trade part of the EU. – Israel, as a means of pressure on the Netanyahu government. Two conservative European governments are pressure against genocide. Mr. Mitsotakis and another sad exceptions show their complicity in practice.
- Allies and politically complicity by the government in the OPECEPE scandal of Freedom and Mrs Constantopoulou? Heavy heard, Mr. Zachariadis, don’t you agree? With what targeting and political pursuit of wanting to offer “valuable service” to the government, as you argue?
At a critical juncture, Mrs Konstantopoulou’s party tended a helping hand to Mr Mitsotakis’ corrupt regime, voting in favor of the ND proposal. For setting up an Inquiry Committee, which will be the starting point in 1998 … In this way, the Freedom Summer put back on the fully non -existent ND narrative. About “over time pathogens”, when they have literally caught it with the goat on the back and broke the political isolation that Mr Mitsotakis had, for example the next day with the misery with the letter vote.
- Lately we have been watching many steps in cooperation between SYRIZA-PSS. And a new left, which has a conference in front of it, however. What do you expect in today’s juncture by your former partners?
There is a need to overcome the dividing lines in the wider progressive space with the new left and PASOK. Mr. Mitsotakis’ only sponsor is now the fragmentation and fragmentation of our space. We need to look at the big picture with the future and not be trapped in the individual small ones. To do this requires program, political initiatives, open heart and open minds. To escape the misery of enclosure and self -referendum. From the first moment SYRIZA-PAP. He turned a page, put the issue of partnerships in the progressive area. Already from Lucas Katseli’s candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic we have begun this chain of initiatives. The goal of SYRIZA-PAP. He was clearly formulated at his recent congress. The establishment of a progressive front, which will lead to the fall of the Mitsotakis government and the formation of a government that will resolve the impasses facing the social majority because of our government policy is a key position. The recent common initiatives of SYRIZA. With the new Left, both for the establishment of a pre -trial committee and for the submission of an amendment concerning the 13th pension and the abolition of personal difference, they show that what has been separated in the past can and should be overcome.
