The President of SYRIZA-PS began his speech in Pyrgos Ilias by attacking the Prime Minister. Alexis Tsipras, while declaring that “the time has come for change” and adding: “On May 21, we turn our backs on injustice. Enough!”.

Watch live the speech of the President of SYRIZA:

He then explained: “Until now, with a regime of non-transparency, nepotism, partisanship, handing out state robes that secure Mr. Mitsotakis’s stay in government. So far, with a state that cannot and does not want to provide elementary security and protection of citizens. With a state that treats it as if it were the private property of the Holy Family. So far, with a government that dismantles all social security, sells off strategic industries, and at the same time distributes billions that do not belong to its own children, party officials and budgetary elite. So far with semi-state wiretaps, headquartered in the Maximos Palace and the prime minister himself. Here are the cartels that make super profits and cheat by sponsoring the government itself. We know that this is not our country. Greece is not them.”

Continuing his attacks on the prime minister and the government, he said: “Greece is not pacis or pattanassi. These are not blue gold bows. We are not ruled by princes and offspring. Not even ten publicly listed companies that accumulated billions during the inflationary crisis. The Greece of inequality, corruption, speculation, injustice is not the Greece we deserve.”

Al. Tsipras eventually referred to the Tempe accident, saying “A Greece of opacity and corruption that is indifferent even to people’s lives is not the Greece we deserve. Why this Greece we don’t deserve was revealed a month ago in Tempi. And at the same time, the incompetence and inefficiency of the so-called headquarters state, as well as the irresponsibility of the chief of staff, were revealed. All Greeks are responsible except Mr. Mitsotakis. On the first day, through the fault of the station master. Secondly, the fault of the regulatory body. Thirdly, the previous government. Who else; SYRIZA. Everyone is to blame for the fourth. Political system, timeless pathologies, anachronistic state, guilds. Everyone, so no one in particular…”.
