G. Dragasakis: SYRIZA and KINAL as political forces have a future, I see convergences

“SYRIZA and KINAL have a past, if they stay in it, the future is predetermined,” said Giannis Dragasakis, MP and former vice president of the SYRIZA government, from the podium of the 7th Delphi Economic Forum.

Speaking about the cooperation governments, Giannis Dragasakis extended a hand of cooperation to PASOK – KINAL, emphasizing that with SYRIZA “as political forces they have a future, I see convergences”. However, he noted that “I understand that within PASOK – KINAL there are no common views on these issues, which creates a problem for Nikos Androulakis. He is forced to accuse Mitsotakis in the morning and Tsipras in the afternoon. clean line “.

Commenting on the challenges posed by the Ukrainian crisis, Giannis Dragasakis referred to a vicious circle created by such conflicts. “Wars provoke new wars and armaments new armaments. War is accompanied by dangerous revisionist rhetoric,” he said, adding that sanctions imposed on Russia were necessary. He clarified that “my position is to end the war, to reduce the armaments so that the people can breathe from the successive crises. I can not rule out political and economic crises otherwise.”

The SYRIZA MP was clearly against the increase of armaments and noted that Europe must channel resources to tackle climate change and inequalities. “Centrifugal tendencies. The EU may not disintegrate but this pole will not be the solid it needs.”

Speaking on the issue of the independence of the member states of the European Union from the Russian gas that has been raised since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, Giannis Dragasakis stressed that the detoxification “is difficult and is not a matter of months, it is a matter of years maybe “It’s a plan that will be tested in practice. It will be done through a common policy; with common borrowing. Because detoxification means Renewable Energy Sources, storage research and investment. He also noted that “this issue is very crucial for us, I agree that the Prime Minister has put it in Europe. Either Europe will be pressured by the people and will go to common policies and common borrowing, or otherwise Greece can become the weak link”.

Finally, when asked about the accuracy of the action, the SYRIZA MP noted “we have two problems. How do we prevent accuracy and how do we deal with the consequences? Accuracy is a mechanism of redistribution between countries and between social classes. When wages are reduced by 10% some When prices rise, VAT is higher. Energy companies have skyrocketed profits. Is there a material to be taxed? Should not it be taxed? “Early de-lignification was a big mistake. Countries in Europe use whatever they have in stock.”
