D. Tzanakopoulos: Mitsotaki’s thoughtless policy changes the dogma of Greek foreign policy

“The invasion is illegal and condemnable, nothing changes that. It is necessary for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine,” Dimitris Tzanakopoulos told Sto Kokkino 105.5. “Unfortunately, Mitsotaki’s thoughtless policy changes the dogma of Greek foreign policy”

The secretary of the SYRIZA-PS Central Committee stressed that “Greece should operate on the terms of a bridge between Ukraine and Russia, to act as a mediator and thus increase its specific weight in such crisis situations.” He stressed that “Greece should be a force for peace” and that “unfortunately, the way in which the Mitsotakis government has handled the extremely dangerous situation in Ukraine is unacceptable.” He said in particular that “the prime minister involved Greece in the war” and that “this is a choice guided by the perspective of the so-called” predictable ally “of the US and NATO.”

He noted that “there is no joint decision of the EU or NATO to send military equipment or ammunition to Ukraine, nor have all EU countries taken such action”, commenting that “this is just a pretext, “Mitsotaki to support an option that finds the opposite of the majority of the Greek people, as the polls show.” Mr. Tzanakopoulos stated that “Mr. Mitsotakis’ zeal to represent the willing ultimately seems to go beyond the interests of the country and the Greek people. The consequences of this involvement are unknown – we have already seen the statements of the Russian Foreign Minister.” He added that “at the same time that the ND government is taking this stance, neighboring Turkey is following a completely different logic and is strengthening its role and its special weight in the war crisis.”

Regarding the accuracy, he pointed out that the record that is expected today in the price of electricity – “it is going to reach 600 euros per megawatt hour” – is a development that affects society and stressed that “here in Greece our accuracy “It has been hitting electricity and gas and petrol and basic necessities for several months now.” “Clearly the war crisis will worsen the situation, but the main responsibility lies with K. Mitsotakis who for the past two and a half years with the choices of his government has left the country unprotected and unprotected in the face of an energy crisis,” he said. “The choice of de-lignification at a time when gas has increased its price twentyfold is proving fatal.”

Mr. Tzanakopoulos argued that “a different mix, a different policy of transition to the post-colonial era would lead to better results” and that “a change is needed, a complete shift in the policy for wages, and for work, and for energy.” In addition, he spoke of “serious responsibilities” of Mr. Mitsotakis for the “privatization of PPC”, as “from 2019 the logic of the government was to proceed based on the share price of PPC – which is no longer public. invoices by 15% [που] “The problem is now an unsolved equation for consumers and citizens, and all this under the responsibility of the Mitsotakis government, which only knows how to aggravate the situation,” he said. humanitarian crisis “, to add that” the need for political change is urgent, that is why we demand immediate elections “.
