In Kumundura, before his arrival, they count in reverse order. Alexis Tsipras in TEF. In recent days, the President of SYRIZA has been constantly meeting with the financial staff of the party in order to gradually begin to put together the puzzle of his speech next Saturday evening at the Vellidio Foundation. Yesterday he was in Thessaloniki, where he held a meeting with the production bodies of the city. He accused the government of not using the opportunities it had to create a shield to protect the middle class and the most vulnerable social groups. “The facts of the Greek economy are more complex than a year ago,” he stressed. He added that “we have a huge and growing public and private debt, a large and growing trade deficit, now we also have high spreads, we are back to that worry.” Mr. Tsipras told the agencies that the use of the Recovery Fund and the NSRF is a key element that the government should focus on.

“The situation is more complicated than a year ago,” said the President of SYRIZA.

Earlier, the leader of the official opposition visited Veria, from where he launched a fierce attack on the economic policy of Maximos. He walked around the central sidewalks, went into shops, chatted with shopkeepers and passers-by. In the conversations he had with them, the main topic was the problems they faced due to the energy crisis and accuracy. “For eight months we have had the most expensive electricity, the most expensive fuel, record inflation, and every trip to the supermarket is a real nightmare for every family. It is clear that Mr. Mitsotakis does not understand the state of the real economy,” he said. Linking the overestimation to the subject of surveillance and the targeting of the prime minister, he added that Mr. Mitsotakis “could listen to his political opponents’ messages all these years, but he cannot listen to the despair of society.” He is trying in every way to cling to power, using all legal and illegitimate means.”

As at the meeting of the Political Secretariat, Alexis Tsipras noted that “the victory of SYRIZA in the next elections by simple proportionality, whenever they take place, and the formation of a progressive government, is the only hope for the restoration of the rule of law and democracy and to provide a stronghold of protection for the social majority.”
