A. Tsipras ‘lifted’ KINAL’s glove: G. Papandreou received chaos from K. Karamanlis

Her Nikis Zorba

Alexis Tsipras made a “clear” opening to KINAL through George Papandreou and the “condemnation” of the Karamanlis government for the management of the country’s finances, in a TV interview he gave to Crete TV, as part of his tour.

Not coincidentally obviously the place he chose to speak for the timelessly “suffering” Democratic Party that always received chaos from the governments of N.D. Chaos was received by George Papandreou from Costas Karamanlis, said the president of SYRIZA, chaos was received by Antonis Samaras, chaos will be received – even greater – by the next progressive government, with SYRIZA from the SW of Kyriakos Mitsotakis .

He presented – more openly – it is not possible – himself and his party as a successor of the PASOK governments. In this context, he even admitted something even more interesting: SYRIZA became gigantic with the dissolution of PASOK because the identification of PASOK with right-wing politicians left a gap in its traditional political role, that of the Democratic Party. “and nature hates emptiness”.

Beyond that, however, through its placement, Mr. Tsipras “lifted” the glove that KINAL persistently throws at him for avoiding to stigmatize the Karamanlis government and “flirting” with its executives.

In terms of national, The president of SYRIZA, when asked to answer about the Greek-Turkish relations, said, among other things, that Greece has a national line. Our red lines are clear. No government will accept gray areas and demilitarized islands. “These can not be discussed by any government and I want to believe not even the Mitsotaki Government.”

However, he testified – once againhis disagreement with the strategy followed by Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the Ukrainianclaiming grosso modo rushes to appear “more royal than king” in favor of NATO and the West, expecting the country to be rewarded by the US in the face of Turkish provocation, which is not going to happen as Turkey significantly strengthens its power despite being an occupier with a revisionist strategy .

To be precise, he reiterated the allegations against the Government about subsidizing notoriety and caring only for the “powerful”, However, he also left tips for RAE, where is this data on the profits of energy companies and does not give them? It is recalled that he himself, speaking in Parliament, had spoken of “skyrocketing profits” amounting to 1.5 billion.

In the final straight for the SYRIZA congress, its president spoke about the election of a president and a central committee by the party members and not about “I saw the light and entered” cases.

As it is a given – apart from being very literally shocking unexpected – how its proposals will be approved by the congress for open internal party procedures, he announced that the vote for the election of a leader and a central committee will take place on May 15. About a month after the end of his conference (April 14-17).

Sampling Mr. Tsipras’s answers, he said about:

Russian invasion

Today, Europe as a whole is in a quandary. International developments are extremely worrying. We have a war. We have an invasion by Russia, of the Russian Federation, into Ukraine that violates international law in a revisionist logic that is beyond and beyond international rules. We have a humanitarian drama right now with millions of people being displaced. Civilians to be victims of this operation. And we have a European Union, a Europe that was not only unprepared and embarrassed in the face of this development, but I’m afraid it did not do what it had to do, working for its own good and for the common good, in order to prevent it. this development.

I unequivocally condemn Putin’s actions, he has led Russia to a dead end. The EU has responsibilities because if not it pushed him, it did not stop him in his plans.

The sanctions against Russia that the European Union has decided are right, of course, because in my view it had to do everything it could to prevent the war from continuing. These sanctions, however, to a large extent affect those who impose them more than those who accept them. So I think we are at a dead end. And in this impasse there should be immediate moves in the diplomatic field to end this invasion, there should be a settlement that will put an end to this drama that we are seeing right now in Ukraine.

To be precise, he repeated the accusations against the Government

The Americans may benefit from this development, from the fact that Russia has turned against Europe and Europe against Russia, because they are not losing money, instead they will be able to boost their shale gas exports. And they do not lose geopolitically. The brain dead according to Macron NATO, today again has a role and a reason to exist. And in general, I think that the great loser from this development – beyond Ukraine and the Ukrainian people to whom we must all support with all the strength of our souls because it is currently suffering from bombs, war and destruction – will be a great loser. beyond Ukraine and the European Union.

Decisive role of the Greek consul in Mariupol who plundered the country. Greece has one more reason to play a mediating role due to the very large population in Ukraine.

I believe and wish that the war is over quickly and that we make a fund the next day. Usually these conflicts end with a compromise and redrawing of borders. For Ukraine, which is not a member of the EU, will we have sanctions and for Cyprus, which is a member, will we not have sanctions?

Mr. Mitsotakis may hold this position, considering that the more anti-Russian and pro-Western this period of the conflict shows, the more royal one would say, he will probably receive in return the non-recognition, the non-upgrading of Turkey from the West. The opposite happens. And we go to the center and Turkey is upgraded. So I am afraid that this is a negative development for the country’s foreign policy and Mr. Mitsotakis is solely responsible for this development.

Turkey

Turkey has always had a strategy of neutral neutrality. But the government’s narrative of an isolated Turkey in the past is no longer valid. It is strengthened. And it can, while it is an occupying power and with a revisionist role, become today a possible guarantor power with a peacekeeping role. It is worrying.

At the same time Greece, which has always been a country that symbolized peace and dialogue. Stability pillar and bridge in the area. A country that was and is in NATO and the European Union, but can also talk to the East, because Greece is at the center of three different cultures and was the most ecumenical civilization, the oldest and most important in the region.

He had the opportunity to talk to the Arab world, he had the opportunity to talk to Russia itself. If Greece is a country like all the others in NATO and the European Union, which has no possibility of access and dialogue with all these cultures and all these countries, then it loses its value.

Mr. Mitsotakis thinks that becoming more royal than the king will get recognition of Turkey’s aggressive attitude towards Greece. The opposite happens. Turkey is being upgraded.

Greece has a national line. Our red lines are clear. No government will accept gray areas and demilitarized islands. These can not be discussed by any government and I do not want to believe the Mitsotaki Government either.

There is no room for petty partisanship in national issues. Foreign policy and a unified national line must continue, all forces.

Accuracy

It started in September and started to peak at Christmas and shortly after. There is no doubt that the government has enormous responsibilities.

The adjustment clause is Mitsotaki’s choice. The privatization of PPC led it to a scandal. The choice of violent de-ligation was the second fatal mistake and the tolerance in the cartel of notoriety and the ideology that the State should not intervene because the market is self-regulating, were the reasons for the accuracy.

The effects of the war have not yet passed on the prices of the shelves in the supermarkets, in our pocket. These effects belong to the Mitsotakis government.

Anyone who does not raise the issue of elections essentially says “it does not matter if we let Mitsotakis ruin us”. All political forces must take a stand.

He did not raise the minimum wage for two years. Mr. Mitsotakis has stronger commitments to the interests than to the Greek people: Banks, delivery companies, those that have large companies and operate in flexible working conditions.

The Mitsotakis government is the only one since joining EMU that has had such large budgetary margins. How can he have 30 billion at his disposal and everyone be complaining. Where did these billions go? Part of the money went wrong because some people actually benefited and another part went to direct assignments and closed tenders.

Elections

We will receive chaos from the Government. Mr. Mitsotakis has surpassed “the Karamanlis epic”. That is why I am calling for elections because every day that passes the bill increases. Chaos was also received by G. Papandreou from Karamanlis.

Our differences with the N.D. are unbridgeable, a joint cooperation plan is not being made and this is healthy. The Progressive faction in the place always receives from the right chaotic economics. We believe in collaborations. We call on all self-proclaimed progressive forces to open their cards: To say how the country should be governed. We have made it clear that we want a progressive government with a social sign.

Some leave open the possibility of cooperation with the right. They do not even ask for elections. They can not continue like this indefinitely. they have to say if they want to join a government and under what program conditions. SYRIZA will be the first party in the simple proportional elections, there is the possibility to form a progressive government from the first ballot box.

Congress

On May 15, the elections for the election of the president and the Central Committee

We call on all those who agree with our principles to become members of SYRIZA and to participate in the procedures. But this other “I saw light and entered”. We do not want applause and disposable members.

Energy

The Commission has drawn a toolbox among its proposals, the taxation of energy companies’ super profits. and Mr. Mitsotakis did nothing. He is trapped in his obsessions and I do not think he has the stature to tax the companies that the country’s prime minister is notoriously profiting from.

RAE is obliged to provide data. It has been 20 days since the day I spoke in Parliament about 1.5 billion super profits. Where is the data? Will anyone answer that?

The existing lignite deposits must be reactivated. We need energy redesign after the new developments, with beginning, middle and end. What I attribute to Mr. Mitsotakis is that he has no strategy.

We also have a notorious profit of the State towards the consumer with the EFK on fuel. It’s not a matter of fiscal balance which I respect, because I went through it.

IMF- Debt

After the government has repaid the debts to the IMF, now to pursue another policy towards the Society. The country is in danger because we have a very high debt but SYRIZA took care of the debt settlement. And SYRIZA is the only government since the change of government and after it left full funds.
