Confrontation SYRIZA-PS with the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Stelio Pechacaused by the latter’s phrase “who does not adapt, he dies” in an interview with ANT1 TV channel about the measures announced by the government to combat the energy crisis.

SYRIZA: The government’s doctrine of “he who does not adapt, he dies”

“This morning, Mr. Petsas unveiled the government’s doctrine for the coming difficult winter: “Whoever does not adapt will die,” SYRIZA-PS spokesman Nasos Iliopoulos said in a statement, referring to the “shocking statement.”

Mr. Iliopoulos noted that “this statement is addressed to citizens who have already lost or limited their basic right to heating due to the choice of N.D. subsidize speculators and not check accuracy” and that the Deputy Home Secretary’s statement “insults the 700,000 households who opted for natural gas and are now being asked to pay again for new installations to be able to heat themselves.” In addition, he stressed that Mr. Petsa’s statement “insults the entire Greek society, which has been watching for several months how an indifferent and cynical government promotes the doctrine of individual responsibility and defiant support for the few and the strong.”

“We thought Mr. Petsas would go down in history with his infamous list,” commented a SYRIZA press spokesman, adding: “Ultimately, he will be the one who, along with Mr. Mitsotakis, will remind us of the modern “let’s eat” . biscuit”” . “Let them not doubt. The days of their political arrogance are numbered,” Mr. Iliopoulos concluded.

Petsa’s response: “The scattered presentation of my proposal distorts the truth.”

“This proposal in no way relates to heating costs this winter. It was about the adaptability that a person has shown throughout time,” said Deputy Interior Minister Stelios Petsas in a statement in response to a SYRIZA spokesperson.

Specifically, Mr. Petsas made the following statement: “While a phrase can be cut out of an interview to deliberately give the impression, this particular case was an unfortunate moment, as it allowed for distortions and petty political exploitations. In any case, a fragmentary view of my phrase distorts the truth. Obviously, I meant the adaptability of man historically, and today the adaptability of all of us to such huge challenges as the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis. Therefore, this proposal was in no way related to heating costs this winter. For God’s sake!”.
