N. Iliopoulos: Here and now measures for the accuracy and support of the employees

“Things in the country can and should immediately go differently,” said SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance spokesman Nasos Iliopoulos.

“What frightens the people, the unemployed, the retirees, the freelancers, is the possibility that Kyriakos Mitsotakis and this government will stay one day longer”, he pointed out (, r / s “Sto Kokkino 105.5 FM”).

“At the same time that the government is looting public wealth like a swarm of locusts, Mr. Mitsotakis receives a subsidy as if he were a farmer. A year after the disaster, the fire victims of Evia are still waiting and Mr. Mitsotakis, without shame, goes and he receives a subsidy of 8,500 thousand as a farmer “, commented Nasos Iliopoulos.

“At the same time, Greece is the 5th worst country in the eurozone in terms of collective bargaining and the only country where the minimum wage is lower than in 2010. And while today, the European Union is asking member states to take measures to “Collective agreements cover 80% of employees. In Greece we have a government that believes in a Balkan-type labor market,” he stressed.

“It is not only the 50,000 vacancies in tourism this year, it is also that 5,000 employees resigned in the first month of the season. And this is because in tourism the government of ND has made Manolades,” said the SYRIZA-PS spokesman .

“For our part, we say that not a single vote should be lost. The people, the retirees, the self-employed, the young people need to vote en masse,” he said, noting the danger of abstaining in the upcoming elections. “We are concerned that people are sinking into despair and that there is no alternative,” he said.

“We say that there is an alternative, that things can and should go differently. An alternative means, first of all, immediate measures to be precise, energy inflation in Greece can not exceed 60%, when in the eurozone it is at 39%. the difference, we call it precision Mitsotaki “, noted Nasos Iliopoulos.

Asked to comment on the results of the French elections, he said: “We are very concerned about the rise of the Far Right and the fact that liberal, conservative citizens, where there was a choice between Le Pen’s candidate and the Left abstention”. “This fact ‘breaks’ the democratic front but at the same time highlights how dangerous the line around two extremes is,” he commented.

“However, the result achieved by the Left is very important, it opens a great era of struggles. Without big movements in the near future, things in Greece and in Europe can not change,” said Nassos Iliopoulos.

Finally, referring to the Athens Pride that took place the previous days, he underlined: “what we experienced on Saturday in Athens was a very beautiful and massive celebration”. “Thousands of people, the vast majority of young people, took to the streets, celebrated and claimed. Because living still in democracies that categorize and separate human rights on the basis of sexual orientation is unthinkable,” he said.

“Exactly for this reason, as SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, we submitted to the Parliament a bill for the protection of marriage and childbearing, regardless of gender. In fact, it concerns the elimination of discrimination in family law, discrimination related to sexual orientation.” Nassos Iliopoulos added: “the question of whether this proposal will be supported, goes to both ND and PASOK-Movement for Change”.

“Over the weekend, the Movement for Change considered that it should attack SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance. For our part, we ask a simple question, which is also the question of the Pride days, whether the political forces are willing to to support this democratic cut “, concluded Nasos Iliopoulos.
