N. Androulakis: Neither Mr. Tsipras nor Mr. Mitsotakis will see a prime ministerial chair from us

From the podium of the pre-conference on energy, held in Kozani, the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, presented the program framework of the Movement and stylized the energy policy of the government.

“We see a Tsipra-Mitsotaki agreement in imposing a ceiling on the wholesale price adjustment clause. Why do you throw the ball in Brussels when you know that this proposal will never be implemented? Why not the government and the main opposition not to follow the PASOK proposal “What interests do you want to cover, which are speculating at the expense of the Greek people? The PASOK-Movement for Change proposal is already in the toolbox of the Commission to reduce the costs borne by the citizens,” he said. Mr. Androulakis.

He reiterated his proposal to tax the superprofits of energy companies and reduce VAT on basic goods, deconstructing government officials’ criticism of the money tree, recalling fiscal expansion amid a pandemic.

“Has the money tree dried up today? Is Mr. Mitsotakis a champion in waste and left today” fuel “unable to implement policies already pursued by other states? Should the refundable advances be given without specific criteria? Are these the policies of a country that has gone through ten years of fiscal crisis and poverty and has sent hundreds of thousands of Greek children abroad to look for work? “That’s why the time has come for another policy. The policy of the democratic party. A responsible, realistic and specific policy that motivates the middle class and the financially vulnerable to stand up again,” said the PASOK-Movement president. Change.

Nikos Androulakis was in favor of carbonization in a mild, sustainable and socially just way and not “to tarnish his image as a green Prime Minister Mr. Mitsotakis to announce the acceleration of the transition and to make the country depend not on our national fuel but from the gas of foreign countries “.

He cited specific examples to illustrate the sloppiness of government planning for the energy transition. “To remove the lignite to make the transition, the government says, and the institutional framework for storage, which is the most important element, will bring it in a few weeks. What does this mean? Last weekend the country had a surplus in RES and it was lost “because the country did not have storage mechanisms,” he stressed.

Mr. Androulakis insisted that “a fair transition is green energy not to be a game of a few large companies, as the government of ND wants but to be the possibility of every farmer, stockbreeder and every Greek to finally become the same energy producers to be shielded “.

Regarding the current political debates, Mr. Androulakis stressed that “against the culture of division, devaluation, distortion, elitism and populism, we put the culture of dialogue and conciliation but in a worthwhile way. We do not ask for collaborations to share chairs and for some people to become prime ministers again, which the people gave them a chance and they failed miserably. Neither Mr. Tsipras nor Mr. Mitsotakis will see a prime ministerial chair from us. “They expect nothing. The Greek people will see another day. A day of stability, social justice and national dignity. The people want change and not divide it and reign.”

Mr. Androulakis stated that the elitism of the right despises the problems of the weakest Greeks and made special reference to the social housing program, which he introduced in the public debate.

“ND vulgarly despises the problem of the new generation. If they had known and had the same anxiety as us, Mr. Mitsotakis would not have included only 100 houses in the largest financial instrument, such as the Recovery Fund, while other European countries have included tens of thousands “noted Mr. Androulakis.
