Prime Minister launches all-out attack on SYRIZA Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at a meeting of the political committee N.D. “We are invited to highlight our work, confirming that we said it and did it. As a party, let’s follow the direction of our conference by marching with the citizen. And as the country’s first strength to ensure that Greece remains on the path of progress it chose in July 2019, blocking the path to disaster for the second time. Giving a second strong command to the national offensive with stability, continuity and consistency,” he stressed.

The prime minister spoke of the centers that “show us their teeth” and want a “pressed prime minister”, noting that “but we, the new democrats, do not chew.” “The country’s drastic modernization has disturbed many, and the country’s collective dynamics have been robbed of power by the private interests that once influenced its course outside of institutions. These centers would very much like to be pressured by the prime minister and the anchor government. Some are already showing us their teeth. We, the new democrats, do not chew,” the prime minister stressed.

Mr. Mitsotakis said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “would rather have Mr. Tsipras in front of him, but he has me.” “And he has me, because this is what the sovereign Greek people chose and no one else. But I speak sincerely to Mr. Erdogan when I tell him that Greece keeps the door closed to challenges but opens the window to advances. I know that geography wants us to be close to each other. I will say it again, I feel like a friend of the Turkish people, I express my disgust at yesterday’s terrorist attack in Istanbul, but we are not there and I am not being led into a dialogue with the absurd,” the Prime Minister said.

He described SYRIZA as “a hodgepodge that feeds on poverty and thrives in the swamp of politics”, referring to “leftist Trumpism in all its glory”. “Our opponents learned nothing from the Novartis case. They cannot speculate on existing fact. The case is before Justice, who will do whatever is necessary to clear it completely, so that there are no shadows and to dissolve the clouds of toxicity. I repeat what is required. There is no other refuge in democracies than justice, and we will wait for its verdict,” Mr. Mitsotakis said, referring to the surveillance case.

“We have nothing to fear, we were very honest when we said that in the case of Nikos Androulakis, an operational failure was discovered, responsibility was recognized. I was the first to take them and talk about them, we went straight to the first appeal, tightening the filters of control over legal investments, the Judiciary and Parliament were also activated, initiatives that the chairman of the PEGA committee recognized when he came here and had meaningful discussions with many government officials,” the prime minister said, stressing that in the next few days, a modern framework for the operation of EYP and communications security, as well as a framework that makes Greece the first country to explicitly ban the marketing, use and distributing malware on their own premises: “Didn’t I have other work to do than listen to ministers and actors?” he asked.

“We have some disagreements. While we publish reviews of our natural resources, they publish lists of their own dirt. Everyone has their place,” he stressed. and I personally stand in the way of some strong, in quotation marks, but few. It does not matter, it is enough for us to be with many, and on their behalf I declare that we will not accept any undermining, any braking of the changes that we have committed ourselves to implement. The territory of politics is one thing, and the sphere of private interests is another. And whoever confuses them turns public life into an arena. This is something we must not allow. After all, this government has proven that it wants its businessmen to be allies, but does not want or tolerate them as subordinates or regulators. Everyone has their place,” he said.

“To those who want banana Greece, I say the wrong address, and to those who ask me not to do what I believe in and what we have committed to do with the Greek people, we say “no thanks” to those who dream of the weak governments. in order to become stronger ourselves, I warn them: we will be against them, I am elected by the Greek people and ultimately accountable to them,” the prime minister added.

As for the next elections, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that the next vote is one of the most critical in the post-revolutionary period. “Not only because, in the face of a storm, the country’s boat needs a steady rudder, but also because it is called upon to avoid the trap called mere analogy, the trap that SYRIZA left behind by relying on non-steerage. That is why we are not talking about double elections, but about national elections, giving the first ballot the weight of the last. This will ultimately determine who will govern, so that the second one makes the choice of citizens more significant and functional,” he stressed and stressed: “We need clear decisions and clear horizons. Our goal is the same: a self-sufficient Greece with New Democracy as its protagonist.”

According to information, at the closing of the meeting of the Political Committee of the ND. The Prime Minister said: “Some journalists were quick to say that my speech today marked the start of the election season. I answer them that for me the pre-election period for the 2023 elections began on July 8, 2019. Because the best preparation for the elections is the rich work that we have done over these 3.5 years.”
