“We expected that even at the last moment he would agree to erect a wall against the participation of a criminal organization in the elections. He didn’t. He chose not to confront them,” commented a government spokesman. Yannis Oikonomouafter his speech Alexis Tsipras in parliament for the government’s amendment for the Kasidiari party.

Mr. Economos’ statement in detail

“Mr. Tsipras repeated in one of his speeches all the lies that he spouted for four years. He resorts to a series of sky-high lies because he cannot bear the truth, which crushes him morally and politically. The truth of events shows what an unfortunate prime minister he was. And the truth of the facts shows that he has nothing to contribute to tomorrow, because he is behind Kyriakos Mitsotakis at all levels. Mr. Tsipras will realize on May 21 that repetition does not turn lies into truth. He will understand that in the face of an underestimation of the intelligence of our people, but also a contempt for reality, Greece will boldly and firmly move forward.

Yannis Oikonomou concluded his speech with a postscript:

“We expected that even at the last moment he would agree to erect a wall against the participation of a criminal organization in the elections. He didn’t. He decided not to resist them. And it wasn’t the first time. We leave it to the judgment of democratic citizens.”
