“Are we moving forward or are we going back? Will we consolidate what has been achieved or will we roll back?” the prime minister asked. Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his speech in Lamia.

He added: “Know that on the way to elections we will face opponents who remain incorrigible. They’re the same, oh political thug Mr. Polakis and on the other hand irrevocably convicted of dereliction of duty mr pappas. Convicted 13-0. What will the opposition tell us? That Mr. Spircis will he fix the trains? Mister. Katrugalos pensions? Mister. Friend education? Will those who have given up national armaments protect us from external threats? What made Greece an open vine guarding the frontiers? The only thing they don’t scream about is that they will meet Mr. Varoufakis again to close the banks again and get their taxes back. No thanks, the townspeople answer. There will be no second disaster.”

“The Greeks have both memory and knowledge. They’ll both cancel the anarchy bomb even once new political anomaly. That’s why I say that in the first ballot, voters will decide who will rule the country. And when I say who I mean which party and which prime minister. While the second will judge how this prime minister will rule. So simple and so clear.”

“No unreasonable choice or thoughtless reporting is allowed. Neither of these have since been corrected. Harm to the country and society will be done. The landscape is more clouded by those who talk about alleged cooperation, but refer to paralysis,” he emphasized and said:

“What is it about Unknown x; Will citizens vote blindly? These are not serious things. You vote for ND to make Mitsotakis prime minister. Even if you vote for SYRIZA to make Tsipras prime minister.. But why vote for something you don’t know what will happen tomorrow. We live in very difficult times. Decisions must be made at the highest level. In this very unpredictable world, the homeland needs confidence, a captain and a crew that can weather the storm. Our country needs continuity on a development path that brings jobs and higher incomes. We still have a lot of work to do. Truth and consistency are needed to modernize the state. Decisions cannot be lost in the corridors of party negotiations. Think about what is happening in a number of countries with a simple proportional electoral system.”

“I will not follow those who pour poison into the national trauma”

“Only we can lead Greece to the future it deserves, and we will. We will win the next election to move forward even faster, to change the country more boldly and effectively, for a homeland that we will be truly proud of,” Mr. Mitsotakis said and added: “May is close to bring a new spring with double our own message. This is a message for reflection and collective recovery from the Tempe tragedy. It is also a call to fight to keep the country on the path to prosperity. The light of the new Greece must spread everywhere and to everyone.”

“Now we know that in Tempi, human error collided with the flaws of problematic organization, with eternal problems that, unfortunately, we were not able to completely reorganize before evil overtook us. That is why I took responsibility on behalf of all who ruled the country as the drama unfolded with us at the helm. Personally, I have never hidden and will not say that this is the fault of others, except us. First of all, we must create conditions so that such an evil never happens again, ”he added.

“Today, no one suffers more than the families of the victims. I will not follow those who pour partisan poison on the national wound. I stick to the obvious truth,” he said.

“Remote control of trains, which should have been ready from 2016, was never implemented by the then government. We failed to complete the project on time. The rest show the old Greece that I will fight and change. The place must not be left behind. Our job is to bite the bullet. Turning anger into stubbornness for major reversals,” he stressed.

“In this particular area our attempt at reform has failed. We have lost this battle, but we will wage war on the past more vigorously. until every public action and every individual attitude is changed. And so I feel that we also need to respond to those who invest in disaster. We have many such views. Mr. Spircis spoke in parliament for two hours without saying a word of apology, and his boss rudely said that until July 2019 everything was working perfectly. We will see this project many more times. This will fail miserably. Truth, above all, rejects regret. Citizens take revenge on cynicism. They do not forget the very important things that we have achieved in these four years and that no one can erase.”

“We kept the agreement of truth”

“There is no need to think about what would happen in the country if all this happened to others. We have kept the agreement on truth that we signed in 2019,” he stressed.

“Today, dozens of tax obligations have been lifted from citizens. We have reduced ENFIA by 35%. We have canceled the solidarity gathering. Each parent passes it on to their children free of charge. All citizens pay lower contributions. We have created 300,000 new jobs. We are constantly attracting foreign investment. Tourism revenues are rising from record to record, as are exports. We received a minimum wage of 650 euros, and today it is 780 euros,” he stressed.
