“The ND proposal is concrete. This is not arrogance, this is a hint of responsibility. The country needs a stable government and a prime minister who can lead it safely,” New Democracy MP Dora Bakoyannis told SKAI 100.3.
At the same time, he added that “on the other hand, there is a proposal from the opposition. Mr. Tsipras talks about the co-management of progressive cooperation, but if you take what the parties say at face value, he has no partners.
Mr. Androulakis’ proposal concerns programmatic cooperation without Mr. Tsipras, which SYRIZA does not accept and explicitly states.
With the conditions that Mr. Androulakis sets, he gets out. He really wants to stay in opposition. But let’s be clear. According to him, he undermines the possibility of cooperation.
Finally, Mr. Varoufakis says that I will follow the tactics of the KKE and let me disagree with them, that I want to stay away from all this.
So the alternative is not a solution. And this is a huge problem for Greece,” Bakoyannis said.
For co-management:
“Of course, PASOK is the dominant partner. Since then, this government, if the Greek people give this order, this is the government of cooperation that we have done before, this is not the first time. I understand Mr. Androulakis’ concerns, but the voice of the Greek people always dominates and orders are followed in a democracy. Therefore, we will look for all possible and possible solutions to create a cooperation government. In addition, in addition to the government of cooperation, we also need consents, which we have had in large part in these four years, because we are entering a difficult phase where we also have to seek them.”
Planned for the next four years:
“The first goal is to confront our bad selves. We have other priorities. This should be the 4th year of the pay increase. Because today the youth does not live decently. We must also take justice very seriously. The issue of the welfare state is also. About 10% of children today have some form of autism. These children today need special care, special structures, special schools, special treatment. This area is the goal for the next four years. I don’t see any other political force that is aware of the needs of society.”
For next steps:
“This is an unacceptable event for any democratic country that should never be repeated. However, we will not be spared from such things, because at the international level, technology is developing faster than we are. Technological systems outstrip even espionage. However, since EYP has been restructured and rules have been introduced, any risk of such a phenomenon has been absolutely minimized. Although it’s a stain. No doubt.”
For EYP, even if it contributes to the cohesion of the state:
“I think there are many more today. After reconstruction and devastation, we suffered. Mr. Demiris, who came to power, is serious, he has an extensive resume. Attempts are being made to regroup, and ongoing cooperation, for example, with the Mossad, has yielded some results. Since this was heard in the party parliament, it is impossible not to have an EMP if you are a serious country.”
For SYRIZA:
“In 2015, Mr. Tsipras could have formed a government with PASOK, but he chose Mr. Kammenos. They shared the spoils of power. So what is he going to tell us now? I don’t think Mr. Tsipras’ goal is simple proportionality, it’s power. And to some extent, it is legitimate that he is looking for ways to cut himself off from the ND.
For attempted terrorist attack in Athens
“What has been discovered shows that reality is rapidly changing. We thought that there was no possibility of an Islamic terrorist act in Greece. Yesterday’s preparation of the assassination attempt shows that this is no longer the case. We are entering a phase when not a single European country has to deal not only with its own internal problems, but also with import ones. EYP and the police need to be on the lookout. You understand what such a blow would mean for our tourism in the run-up to summer.”
Regarding the image of Greece abroad:
“Greece is a country that inspires confidence in adversaries and non-adversaries alike. It is very important that the other person knows your situation and knows that he can rely on you. It is important that Greece is firm in its positions. Greece is an honest interlocutor in the region today. They are counting on us. We are firm, we are not servile. It’s just that our national interests coincide with those of the United States. For example, expanding the base at the Court means security for Greece and for NATO. The same in Alexandroupolis. The decisions taken are of historic significance and are in our interests and those of NATO.”
On Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:
“We made a mistake with Putin, and we should not repeat this mistake with Erdogan. Not a single European expected that Putin would enter Ukraine, and he openly told us about it. We all Europeans stepped on it. We all wanted to preserve our relations with Russia. It just didn’t do us the good that Mr. Putin wanted.”
For a fence in Euros:
“Today, parties come and say that we do not need a fence. And Mitsotakis will go and sign an extension to protect our borders.”
For Tempi:
“If we are now paying the price for what happened at Tempe, it is because people expected us to be efficient. And now they expect us to completely solve this problem.”
For rate:
“There is a piece left in the state that needs structural changes. Needs evaluation. You can’t do anything without her. Mr. Androulakis quite rightly said that the officials should go ahead with an international tender, but they should also be paid accordingly in the future.”
For Turkey:
“Turkey next year has no room to decide anything but its own, after the evil that has fallen upon them with the earthquake.
Whether it’s Erdogan or Kılıçdaroğlu, they have to rebuild and accommodate so many people. Yes, we will enter a phase that has opened a window for negotiations. We know what we want and on what basis we want to speak. There are only one framework and this is international law. Law of the sea. If we agree with that, we have the opportunity to discuss. But we have to present the whole picture to the world. He should know that Turkey has many kilometers of coastline and is entitled to the Aegean Sea. But on the other hand, what Turkey cannot do, it did. For example, he says that the islands do not have a continental shelf.”
