Progressive cooperation government with trunk SYRIZAprovided that it will be the first batch – for moral and quantitative reasons – it will be a 4-year government that will ensure stability, emphasized the President of SYRIZA-PS, Alexis Tsiprasin a discussion at the two-day conference “For a Progressive Agenda for the Next Decade: Goals – Priorities – Policies”, organized by the Institute for Alternative Policies ENA.

The President of SYRIZA emphasized that the government of cooperation with Mr. Mitsotakis ND cannot be a stable government that will last for a long time, because the main condition for a stable long-term government is the existence of program agreements and “what kind of program agreements can the party, which is the core of the neoliberal concept with parties who want to be called progressive?

Asked to comment on Mr. Mitsotakis’s statements that stable one-party governments, not just one-color ones, are the most appropriate and proven for our country, and if this is a call for transfers, Mr. Tsipras said that “rather it describes what we call ragtag governments, that is, to steal deputies from other parties. This cannot be a condition and a condition for a sustainable long-term government,” he commented and continued: “The Mitsotakis government may have a long history and tradition of desertion, but this cannot be the future of the country.”

He emphasized that “the country needs a stable and long-term government“and appreciated that “it can be given with a message about the necessary political changes with SYRIZA at the core”, stating his belief that “it is more than ever possible for SYRIZA to become the first party in simple proportional ballots”.

Asked about his attitude PASOK-KINALMr. Tsipras noted that he considers it of paramount importance to speak “before elections, but mostly after politics.” “The one who puts the cart before the horse is also unfair to him, in this case to Mr. Andrulakis, from whom I did not hear him talk about politics, but about people. So his only problem in ND politics, in the possibility of co-management with ND, is Mitsotakis? Not his politics? – he said. “I am not saying,” he commented, “that Mr. Mitsotakis himself is a problem, but the bigger problem for the country is his policy of privatization, outright concessions, discrediting the welfare state….” The President of SYRIZA said that “a progressive government will come first to answer them”, and noted that “from now on, we are clearly putting the horse before the cart, so the policy, the need to change the policy.”

Regarding the persons Tsipras noted that “last time, when the people did not choose the prime minister, but others chose him, we did not have very good results.” And he continued: “In democracies, it’s good not to become behind-the-scenes cameras that will make decisions about politics and people, but respect the opinions of the people. So let’s let the Greeks have their say at the ballot box.”

He emphasized that between the pre-election and post-election period, the popular verdict interferes, noting that “it is perfectly reasonable for small parties not to open their cards about what they will do the next day.” However, he stated his belief that “if SYRIZA becomes the first party, the scene will be completely different, and those who have a rudimentary sense of self-preservation will not refuse – if there is an opportunity and she comes from among – to participate in a government scheme that may lead to repeat elections, which, in our experience, will reduce their percentage.” He also added that he “does not pay attention to pre-election slogans, but programmatic positions are very important, where the country should go.”

Alexis Tsipras noted that “if we want political change, if we want and want to stop these 4 years that have thrown the country back in so many ways, if we want to have another government and another prime minister besides Mr. Trump “. Mitsotakismeans that SYRIZA must win the elections.”

And he reiterated his stance that “the one who can beat Mr. Mitsotakis is SYRIZA,” adding that “winning SYRIZA in the elections through simple proportionality is the key that will launch the developments for the progressive the next day.” government cooperation, long-term.” He also said that if the people decide that ND and Mr. government, this means that we will constantly go to the polls until you gain confidence in your abilities.
