Leader of party ’To Potami’ Stavros Theodorakis underlined the need to support the agricultural sector of Greece during his pre-election campaign trip to the town of Grevena in Western Macedonia, Saturday. Theodorakis visited pasture lands and animal pens and talked with 40 local stock breeders who briefed him on the problems they are facing and ways to tackle them. Speaking to reporters later he stressed that if the government did not help these people Greece would always be begging for hand-outs and loans. “If our tables continue to have imported tomatoes, meat and milk we will always live by pleading for mercy to the Germans and French”, he said in reference to the significance of home grown food produce. He presented his party’s plan for low taxation on the groups of farmers and agricultural co-operative societies. Theodorakis pointed out that his party had differences with the other parties, but added that at this juncture the need to restore the Greek economy took precedent over everything else.
