G. Papandreou: The society of solidarity is ideal of the progressive democratic party

In the afternoon, George Papandreou met with the president and representatives of the Communities of the Hellenic Immigrant Forum, with whom he exchanged views on issues that concern them.

The former prime minister and candidate for leadership in the Movement for Change said after the meeting, “we are all proud of Giannis Antitokoumbo, but the question is, what about all the others who toil, fight, contribute to the economy and our insurance funds and offer to our society in particularly difficult conditions? “.

He pointed out the huge problems caused by the pandemic to the entire immigrant and refugee population in Greece while welcoming the initiative of the Greek Immigrant Forum aimed at facilitating the vaccination of all immigrants and refugees who do not have papers.

Mr. Papandreou left tips for the new law, which was not voted by KINAL, with which it is impossible to naturalize those who live and work for years in Greece. He also noted that there is no provision for Greek language courses, there is no effective policy of social inclusion, while on the contrary, there is often racism and xenophobia in the media and political discourse in their daily lives. He promised to take initiatives to solve their problems.

“The society of solidarity is ideal of the progressive democratic party. The coexistence of all with respect and dignity is a sign of culture for a society”, concluded Mr. Papandreou.
