He failed in all, he stressed and noted: “So let’s hope he does not manage others until the end of the four years, although I understand, I understand that the four years will not end because he seems to have decided to escape before winter comes and suffer the consequences a catastrophic policy for which he is responsible. ”

At the same time, however, he stated that SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance is ready to assume its responsibilities, noting: “I want to declare from here in Rhodes that we are ready to undertake once again the difficult task of removing the chestnuts from the fire. And as soon as possible the elections will take place, the better it will be for the place. ”Because, as he explained, if elections are held quickly, there will be more possibilities, both fiscal and others, to support the society and to tackle the big problem of accuracy.

“Not by giving way to speculation and scandal. But by protecting the common good, popular households and businesses and at the same time giving a perspective of social justice that is so important in a time of crisis,” he said.

“I am on an island where I see that gasoline has gone over 2.5 euros per liter and the electricity bills are the ones that have led and are leading the vast majority of households, mainly working, low-income households in despair,” said Alexis Tsipras and added that his presence on the island, above all other messages, is also a message of support for the world of work.

“It is symbolic and essential that the first visit to the island starts from the labor center. Because I want to send a message of support and solidarity to the thousands of tourism workers who will work in difficult conditions this summer. In conditions where the government has formed a framework where in many cases we have violations of labor law in a labor law that has already been elaborated by the legislative initiative of the government “he said.

“We have the introduction of flexible working hours, the abolition of the 8-hour period and at the same time we have the non-obligation of the employer to declare overtime. These create extremely negative conditions for employees. their income should disappear before the end of the third week of the month “, underlined the leader of the official opposition.

“The Mitsotakis government is obsessed with work to defend private interests. We are obsessed with the need to defend work and workers,” said Alexis Tsipras because, as he said, without workers there is no productivity, no economy. “This message I want to give here at the labor center along with the message of solidarity and support to the people who work in the field of tourism in difficult conditions this year. “Perhaps in the most difficult of all years.”
