R. Svigkou (SYRIZA): ‘We are ready, in a position to fight for the elections, whenever they take place’

“We are ready, in a position of battle, to fight the elections, whenever they take place”, stressed the secretary of the SYRIZA-PS Central Committee, Rania Svigkou, in an interview with the newspaper “Epochi”, pointing out that the official opposition demands elections since last December, “because society can no longer stand this situation”.

Criticizing the government for its precision management, he accuses it of “displaying an unprecedented class unilateralism”, “does not want to take permanent action, because it is contrary to its neoliberal obsessions, but also to its commitments to business circles “. She claims that “the horizon is the elections, there she is focused, and not on the needs of society”.

Regarding the issue of cooperation, Ms. Svigkou points out that “at the core of our simple analogy, but also of our general point of view, is the cooperation of broader forces, left, social democratic, green” and emphasizes that “convergence and the cooperation”. On the ground, he adds, “a programmatic convergence, based on equitable development, social justice, the extension of labor and social rights, tackling accuracy, unemployment, democracy and social solidarity.”

Regarding the “50-50” measure, of equal representation of the sexes, he notes that “SYRIZA-PS has opened a path that I hope the other parties will follow. Because, Greece is still very low in the participation of women in policy, in all relevant indicators, and we need to change that. ” He added that “we are living in a difficult time, both for women and LGBT people”, as “rights for which struggles were given are no longer taken for granted” and “the self-determination of the female body, the right to abortion, is limited or abolished, from Poland to the USA “. “Fortunately, in the face of obscurantism, sexism and patriarchy, a new, massive, militant movement has made its dynamic appearance,” he added.

Speaking about the “strengthening of SYRIZA-PS after May 15”, the secretary of the party’s Central Committee characterizes “very important that, in times of depoliticization and crisis, both of the party phenomenon and of politics itself, so many tens of thousands of people said present and came to join SYRIZA-PS “. He notes that “people have expectations of us, and we have to verify them.” In the same context, he emphasizes that “the activation of all is necessary, as well as the utilization of each and everyone, depending on the different interests, skills and time they can offer to the party, each with his own strength, and all together”.
