Prime Minister and President of New Democracy Kyriakos Mitsotakis visits the Second Piraeus constituency in the morning. In fact, from Nice, he specifically referred to the decision of the Supreme Court on Kasidiaris and launched an attack on SYRIZA and MeRA25.

“We have erected a bastion of democracy, and today, as a progressive democratic citizen, I am proud that the New Democracy faction took the lead and won the battle,” Mr. Mitsotakis stressed.

“The so-called progressive and leftist SYRIZA chose to be against this front of common sense and democracy that we, together with Mr. Varoufakis, erected … Two sad exceptions that today must be held accountable and apologize to all democratic citizens and admit their mistake “, added the prime minister.

“Now they come to fish in the troubled waters of cheap protest anger, in these troubled waters that united the extreme right with the fight against the memorandum… I want to tell them that Greece in 2023 is not the Greece of 2012, this is not 2015,” concluded He.

Visit to Perama – “The development of the shipbuilding industry, the big task of tomorrow”

Formerly Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakisvisited the shipyard “Atlas” Peramaone of 24 shipyards operating in the area.

Addressing the workers, the prime minister said, among other things: “For four years now, our government has been effectively supporting the shipbuilding and repair sector of the country, taking measures that not only saved the symbolic shipyards of Elefsina, but also cleaned up the shipyards. Scaramangas, but also supported 24 shipyards here in Perama, which, as you can see, are even better responsive to their customers today. Greece is a country synonymous with navigation, Perama shipyards have gained a worldwide reputation for the quality of their work. In total, ten thousand people work in the shipbuilding and repair zone of Peram.

And the big challenge for the next day is how we can further develop this industry, create more and better paying jobs, how we can convince more young people to follow this path of technical specialization. How will we cooperate with technical schools so that you too have next day craftsmen so that Perama, which has been identified with its shipyards for 100 years, can continue to develop here in the 2nd district of Piraeus that we have? from the highest growth rates and the de-escalation of unemployment, and to a certain extent this is also connected with all the work that the shipbuilding and repair zone offers.

“We are honored that the Prime Minister is visiting the Perama shipyards for the first time. Thank you for what you have done so far and we hope that in the future, after new elections, you will help the shipyards to take one more step forward – let’s move forward to all of us and shipyard workers,” he said from his side.Chairman of the Perama Shipyard Owners Association and Atlas Shipyard Owner Theologos Katsoulakiswho took him through the facilities representing all the shipyards of Perama.

“Every time we visit the shipyards, we see more boats on land, more new and innovative activities, and of course, let’s not forget that here the shipyards also serve the needs of our fleet and coast guard. You see here a Coast Guard vessel that has returned from its mission to Mytilini and will be doing its yearly duty here, so there is also this strategic aspect, because if a country like Greece may not have shipyards that they can serve the needs of our Armed Forces, Navy and Coast Guard. Well, we’re open here the next day to see how we can further support all of your activities so you can continue to thrive, grow and create more well-paying jobs. Once again, congratulations on all the work that is being done here in Perama,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis replied as he saw the refurbishment of the Georgios Kotoulas Coast Guard Type P355 ship up close.

Recall that the Prime Minister gave the name to the ship “Georgios Kotoulas” in April 2021 at the naming ceremony for two patrol ships that became part of the Coast Guard.

Mr. Mitsotakis talked to shipyard workers and in the machine shop watched technicians work on specific components.
