“For the news of victory,” spoke of Nikos Androulakis at his central election rally PASOK-Movement for Change in Thissio.
“Therefore, today Athens is sending them a clear signal: the more they hit us, the stronger we become. The faction founded by Andreas Papandreou has returned to the political scene as a protagonist,” he said as soon as he took the stage, thrilling the assembled friends and supporters of the PASOK-Movement for Change.
From the very beginning of his speech, Mr. Androulakis launched a furious attack on Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Alexis Tsipras, whom he accused of “trying to blackmail citizens with false dilemmas, hoping that in this way they will influence the electoral base of our faction, that they will rob it.”
As the president of PASOK-KINAL said, “They never wanted to work with us. The goal has always been to loot and virtually eliminate the democratic faction. This is what they did in ’89, this is what they are trying to do now. Well, they will fail again. This false bipartisanship of corruption will fail again. On Sunday night, the Democratic Party will be strong again.”
He stressed that the country needed a new political paradigm, calling on citizens to support PASOK-KINAL, rejecting the promises of K. Mitsotakis and A. Tsipras. “None of them respects institutions, justice, the rule of law,” said Nikos Androulakis and stressed: “We are on the opposite bank because we are a democratic faction of principles, values, democracy, respect for human rights, the rule of law. law, separation of powers. They don’t do power deals, gentlemen. Every vote for PASOK is a collapse of authoritarianism and decadence. Every vote for PASOK is a vote for the Greece of the future. For Greece dignity. For Greece equal opportunities. On May 21, I ask every democrat and progressive Greek to turn their backs on worthlessness, division and contempt for real social issues. Support this new endeavor and we won’t let any of you down.
A strong PASOK means stability in a democracy, growth in the economy, hope and perspective for the people. Proudly raise the green flag of hope, the green flag of Justice, the green flag of Solidarity. On May 21, we will become winners.”
He added that next Sunday evening his party’s political opponents will be surprised to find PASOK resurgent and the Grand Democratic Party returning united, revitalized and resolute. He added that “Mr. Mitsotakis wants to appear as the only offer of power, locked in his glass tower, he lives with his company in a parallel universe that revolves around himself. He is stability. This is democracy. This is a state, he says with a Ludovician perception, posing as a modernizer.”
“However, PASOK voters do not eat sheep or lotuses,” Mr. Androulakis continued. “Citizens, don’t forget, Mr. Mitsotakis, when your party handed bankrupt Greece over to the PASOK government. “Instead of apologizing and taking responsibility, you voted with Tsipras against the euro, for bankruptcy and the drachma,” Mr. Androulakis stressed. He added that “his recent statements that ‘he can’t talk to PASOK Androulaki’ reaffirm one thing: I posed no danger to Greece and the Republic as New Democracy and digital parastatal officials circulated after the monitoring was exposed. , but the danger is only for the New Democracy.”
“We don’t want PASOK to submit, PASOK to submit to this or that. We need a strong and leading PASOK. Because only PASOK can resist the populism of SYRIZA and the clientelist elitism of Kyriakos Mitsotakis,” he said, dissatisfied with his speech.
Addressing the prime minister personally, Mr. Androulakis criticized him for his lack of sympathy for his position on the Tempe tragedy and for Mr. Mitsotakis’ comment on the lawsuit filed by the victims’ relatives. Will you dictate, Mr. Mitsotakis, what should be done to parents who have lost their children? “Only PASOK can offer a truly progressive alternative government for the country,” he said.
He also sharply criticized Alexis Tsipras, whom he again described as “a big sponsor that Mitsotakis doesn’t want to take away”. He emphasized that the President of SYRIZA underestimates the memory and judgment of the Greek people when he proposes a special purpose government, when he asks to forget the tragic and unfortunate things that he experienced during the five years of his rule of the country together with Panos Kammenos.
Nikos Androulakis recalled all the important reforms carried out by PASOK over time and described his vision of social justice and inequality reduction, a strong welfare state, a healthy economy that includes many, enables the new generation to develop its potential, produce, to create in its place . For a democracy with strong institutions and the rule of law that protects the human rights of all citizens.
