To take him out of the fight Spyros Spiritual decided Kyriakos Mitsotakis, after posting an Evia candidate for cancer patients, causing an uproar. The President of the National Democratic Party, speaking yesterday in Edipsos, announced that the Evia MP candidate Spyros Pnevmatikos was excluded from the election race. Since the ballots have been sent and his name cannot be found on the list, Mr. Pneumatikos, if elected MP (he was not elected on 21 May), will resign and hand over the seat. At least, according to her predictions. extended analogue, the most likely scenario is N.D. get two constituency seats again and under no circumstances elect Mr. Pneumatikos as the third Member of Parliament. “There is one thing I am not going to agree on: universal access for every citizen, no matter what stage they are in, to the best treatment that the National Health Service can offer,” said Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The decision was made

The decision to cripple Mr. Pneumaticos was, according to “K”received by President N.D. the day before yesterday, on the day of a completely unacceptable statement. Her announcement, however, was conditioned by the fact that the President of the ND was scheduled to visit. on Evia, since it was considered much better to recall Mr. Pneumatikos from the prefecture, he is involved in politics, which strengthens the message sent. The same sources report that the President of the ND, he was really furious at his leader’s inappropriate and timely statement, as it concerned the sensitive health sector, which is almost the only area of ​​​​confrontation between the parties in recent times. Mr. Pnevmatikos himself apologized in his post shortly after the statement of the chairman of the party. “Because my words in the interview created the wrong impression and left room for misinterpretation, after consultation with the party chairman Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the ND authorities. I withdraw from the election campaign and declare that, if elected, I will resign as an MP and hand over the seat. I sincerely apologize to every citizen and patient individually,” he said.

“I am not going to negotiate for universal access for every citizen, no matter what stage they are at, to the best treatment that the National Health Service can offer,” K. Mitsotakis emphasized.

At the same time, Kyriakos Mitsotakis contacted the cancer patient by phone. Regina Makeduwho wrote on her personal Facebook account: “Mr Mitsotakis told me that he is strongly opposed to such statements, that he saw my video and that he is sorry that so many people with cancer have felt bad.”

Statement

It all started with a statement by Mr. Pnevmatikos, who raised the cost parameter for cancer patients: “There is a moment when you have no reason to do anything else. Someone will tell me that the good God decided otherwise. But in fact, it’s true, but in the end what will happen? These things have been seen. America is a terrible example: they look for everything, they look for the cost of operations, the cost-benefit ratio of the operation, etc. When we went to America in the early 90s with my wife, the first conversation we heard was really about like an expensive American system. Why was it so very expensive? Because everyone came to the hospital, no matter what condition they were in, and everything was done for everyone. And thus they discovered that after a while they would not be able to serve anyone. Well, they’ll have to make a relative choice of how much they can spend… Sounds a little cynical – it’s not cynical, it’s human.” A little later, and after a phone call from the Secretary of the Political Committee, Pavlos Marinakis, he was forced to refuse, asking for the first apology. “I sincerely apologize to every citizen and patient individually if any of my words leave room for misinterpretation,” he wrote. Yesterday, thanks to the intervention of Mr. Mitsotakis, titles fell in the case.
