A. Tsipras: The goal of the investment stage is unattainable as long as we are in irregularity

A European response is needed to tackle the crisis, said SYRIZA President Alexis Tsipras in an interview with the Delphi Economic Forum.

As such, he identified the extension of the escape clause and the issuance of a Eurobond. Otherwise, as he said, we will be faced with secondary effects and especially instability and social explosion.

In the same context, he described as “desirable” but not feasible the goal of the investment stage for as long as we are in conditions of irregularity while he blamed the government for a lack of energy strategy and delay in investments in RES.

Sampling the statements of Mr. Tsipras, he said, among other things, about:

Energy

What we need to do is invest in green energy, in RES. we are already late to do them. There is a deficit in energy strategy. PPC privatization alone and violent de-ligation.

Ceiling at wholesale and retail prices. First of all, PPC to stop the logic of scandal. The commission gave a tool kit and the government did not use any of it.

Economy

At the moment the goal of the investment grade is desirable but not achievable as long as we are in an irregularity

Inflationary pressures will intensify throughout the war. There is a risk of rising inflation and declining growth rates in the lower and middle classes. The big risk for countries that have high public and private debt is to increase spending without increasing debt

European response needed: Extension of escape clause and Eurobond. If these do not exist we will have secondary crises I am afraid. and debt and social instability and explosion.

Ukrainian- Zelensky

We are in full solidarity with the Ukrainian people and that is why we were in parliament to listen to the president whose country is being attacked.

The reversal of the speech of Azov’s soldiers creates a problem in Ukraine itself because it justifies – not justified in my opinion – Russian propaganda.

I did not expect it but I wanted Zelenski to report it to Cyprus about it and I asked for it publicly the previous days.

The attitude of the Government is trivial. We are neither pro-Russian nor anti-Russian, neither pro-American nor anti-American. We are in the interests of the Greek people.

What is the country’s strategy? to be the good kid in the West for nothing? I am concerned about geopolitical developments, but The Hague is a one-way street: Resolving our disputes under international law.

Karamanlis- Androulakis

My statement that G. Papandreou received fiscal chaos from the Karamanlis Government is a record of reality. The deficit he delivered was unprecedented. I also received from A. Samaras a chaotic situation. And I handed over a country with regulated debt, without memoranda and with 37 billion in the coffers.

Simple analog

Autonomous, one-party governments have brought suffering to the country. We call on all progressive forces to have a dialogue on the basis of the necessary cuts and reforms, on a programmatic basis, and the ballot box of the simple analogy can give a government.

These parties must take a stand, open their cards. Before the polls. Let the Greek people know what they are voting for, not let aces roll up their sleeves after the elections.

I do not believe in governments with leaders who are not elected. Their prime ministers are elected by the people.

SYRIZA

We want to increase our members but also to develop an active membership culture. It’s a bet for us. We tripled our members with the election of president and JV, for the first time in Greece.

The last thing that concerns me is the percentage that I will collect. I have been elected many times. I am not judged as a person but the strategy of this opening.

Polls

The gap is closing, not at a rapid pace but I believe that in September Mr. Mitsotakis will have a serious problem.

Polls are a useful tool and record trends. But they can not record the result. They are good, but at some point elections are held and they are denied.
