“Next Sunday, the people will be celebrating, not the cartels,” said Mr. Alexis Tsipras during his speech, which is in progress, on the beach of Volos, in Iroos.

“We have no other choice but to win, this is a matter of life, dignity, this is a matter that concerns the future of our children,” he added, referring to the creation of the Labor Center in the country in 1908 in Volos, “the historic strike of tobacco workers in 1909″. “The workers won higher daily wages and fewer working hours” and “The National Resistance has written pages of heroism and self-sacrifice in Magnesia.”

“Change is not a slogan that concerns yesterday and the past, but what citizens have in their hearts. Whether they have voted for SYRIZA or ND in the past, whether they are left, center or right, they want big change: change is what young people working unpaid 12-hour days want. Shopkeeper chased by checks. A pensioner struggles to provide his grandchildren with pocket money. A working mother who, after two trips to the supermarket for everything her child needs, sees half her paycheck disappear. Doctors and nurses who selflessly support our hospitals. Students who read but tremble these days are not caught in the grip of a minimum entry base. Farmers and ranchers who are worried about whether they will continue to produce or leave the countryside. 700,000 households who are afraid of losing their home.”

“Next Sunday we will finally end the Mitsotakis regime,” he commented, adding that he heard Mr. Mitsotakis “talk to his few friends in Athens and say, ‘We have a big current.’” “And I’m wondering how this great current comes about and only Mr. Mitsotakis’ henchmen and himself see it, and people don’t see it in their daily lives?” Where is this great current? Haven’t you seen him in the squares, cafes, workplaces and villages?” “The only big flow is the checkpoint bills that come to every family and have Mr. Mitsotakis’ stamp.”

“What will they tell us in a week to justify the unjustified actions of those who today are trying to convince us by force of this current Mitsotakis. They will again begin to analyze how this happened, how the underground currents that are moving towards SYRIZA have eluded them.

Mr Tsipras urged citizens on Sunday to take away “the opportunity to talk about underground currents” with his vote. But for a strong river. A river of victory and change.
