“For the next 16 days, I want to talk only about the future. We have a plan. We have a schedule. I hope that our opponents will have the courage to speak out against the program commitments,” the prime minister and president of New Democracy emphasized. Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his visit to Amaliada and Pyrgoswhere he addressed the citizens who had gathered to greet him.

“To evaluate our proposals, to understand who can really move within the economy, and who is doing the same thing again as in 2014,” the prime minister said. “I again watched Mr. Tsipras present his program. And I saw him say the same thing. He used the same words, even the same pronunciation, as in the infamous Thessaloniki speech on the 14th, when he said that he would tear up the memorandums with the law and the article and cancel all increases and reduce taxes, and finally we saw the result,” Mr. Mitsotakis emphasized during his greeting in Pyrgos.

“So, friends, we have taken important steps forward. And there is so much more we can do and that course should not be broken and ultimately that is what the election will be about.

The only way to avoid coalitions of so-called progressives that will bypass the mandate of the Greek people and bring back to the negotiating table those who want to replace your euros with Dimitris, the only way to do this is for New Democracy on the evening of May 21,” the prime minister emphasized.

“My commitment is to raise wages by 25% – the “slaughterhouse” of pensioners has a name”

“I am committed to increasing wages by 25% over the next four years.. Let the average salary rise to 1,500 euros, and the minimum to 950. Because we have taken the minimum from 650 to 780. We can achieve this goal as well.

And because I hear a lot about pensioners and ECAS, I remember little who cut ECAS, who crushed pensions. This “slaughterhouse” of pensioners has a name: George Katrugalos and Alexis Tsipras. Never forget it.

What have we done for pensioners? From me you will not hear things that cannot be put into practice. For the first time, pensions have increased to 8%. Some, a few people who had personal differences, did not see these enhancements. But what have we done with personal difference? We said, very well, there is a problem with the personality difference, especially with low pensioners, we will continue to support those pensioners with a personality difference with emergency assistance until the personal difference is permanently repaid with future pension increases,” he said. in the tower of Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

“SYRIZA’s proposal to abolish the principle of admission is dishonest in relation to the hard work of students”

“I saw a young man who was 17 years old, 2nd high school, he wants to take exams next year. I tell him, “Where do you want to go?” He tells me “at the military school”. I told him: “You know, some people are now telling you – mind the dishonesty, three weeks before the pan-Greek exams – that you will all do without writing.” Every place in the universities.

No friends. No. It is unfair what they do to many children who are reading and trying to go to university and reward their own work and your work as parents to support them.“, among other things, said the prime minister.

“I’m interested in 2023, not what happened in 1981”

“PASOK and SYRIZA fight for the legacy of Andreas Papandreou and what happened in 1981. I tell them that I’m interested in what will happen in 2023, what will happen to these new children. How wages will rise, how taxes will fall, how investments will come, how farmers will be supported, how we will have better hospitals, how we will have better schools, this is the agenda of the future. Let them fight about the past, it doesn’t matter, we will talk about the future and we will speak with deeds, not words,” the Prime Minister emphasized.

“The axis of Patras – Pyrgos – proof of the consistency of words and deeds”

“Our first responsibility is to reduce, if not eliminate, the number of road traffic fatalities. I know how much this story hurt you. But it is also an image of Greece that belongs to the past. The image of the new Greece that we are building is a new road, certifying what I always attach great importance to, friends: the sequence of words and actions.

Because today, four years after you entrusted me with the joint management of the country, I am proud that my main pre-election commitments, which I gave here in Ilya, exactly four years ago in the same place, have been fully respected,” – said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, addressing the residents of Amaliada.
