A. Tsipras in Ankara: We will defend our sovereignty and sovereign rights – All Greeks are united

From Symi, where Alexis Tsipras is touring today, he sent a message to Ankara: The escalation of tension and the questioning of international treaties is deadlocked and useless, the Greek people and Greece will defend their sovereignty and sovereign rights. And in this all the Greeks are united, he said, adding that: There is no reason for the challenges to escalate. Especially when these challenges come at a time when both sides of the Aegean need stability and peace. Because the financial crisis is affecting both sides.

Addressing the democratic forces of the Turkish opposition, he called on them to continue their efforts to support dialogue and peace, adding: “The escalation of tension does not benefit anyone, the two peoples have nothing to separate and any difference, one important “Our dispute in the Aegean, the one concerning the continental shelf and the EEZ, must be resolved on the basis of international law in the Hague tribunal through dialogue.”

In the same context, he called on Erdogan’s democratic opposition: “So I encourage them to resist, to resist together in this climate of tension. And to enable, through various actions, to escalate violations and challenge international law “Let there be action of friendship, peace and stability. Nationalism endangers not only peace but also social cohesion and democracy in every country.”

In conclusion, he stated that “So today I want to send this message here from Symi. A message of determination but also a message for the need for peace and cooperation between the two peoples.”

Precision, PPC, ENFIA and fuel

In the meantime, according to information from party sources, the residents of Symi reserved a warm welcome to the president of SYRIZA. They talked, took photos with him and asked for his support in the problems they face.

Top issue for all residents is accuracy, PPC bills and the fuel price spike.

“The oil went from 0.60 cents to 1.12. If he continues like this, Mitsotakis will lose the elections and I say that I am a neo-democrat,” said the owner of the ship that makes the local line Symi-Rhodes.

“People, tourism exists. People do not have money. We show that we are well but financially we have suffered” said the owner of a tourist shop, emphasizing that the big hoax is PPC. . And in the butcher shop came 4 thousand 12 months when they paid up to 4 thousand. “All three times over,” he said.

A big issue for the residents and the rise of objective values ​​after launching ENFIA and they mentioned the typical case in a plot of 4 acres that from 100 thousand objective reached 1 million with the result that ENFIA from 400 euros to 5 thousand.

The same extremely difficult picture, based on the same sources, was conveyed to Alexis Tsipras by a group of retirees. “The pension is enough for PPC. Only for PPC. We have come to pay rent in our house,” they said, adding that as the situation has come, they can not help their children and grandchildren as they did before.

A similar image was conveyed to A. Tsipras by another resident who saw the PPC bill in a closed house coming to her for 750 euros “and to call from the law firms and press” as he said.

Residents and shopkeepers finally conveyed to the president of SYRIZA their concern about the Turkish provocation that has consequences in the tourism of the island but also with the war in Ukraine. Why should we give arms against Russia and remain stigmatized forever by this move, a tradesman from Symi wondered and stressed characteristically: “My mother is on the right. Very right. It can not be more right. This condemns it.”
