“I hope that the large abstention that some mention does not occur and that citizens realize the importance of the European elections. I understand the fatigue of the citizens; it’s the third nationwide campaign within a year, unnecessary because we had the simple proportional representation. There is a general fatigue. We do our best to explain why participation is important for Greece’s future. I appeal: it’s worth participating in this ballot. Many important decisions will be made in Europe in the coming years. I wouldn’t want us to discuss on the night of the elections and say that we are all losers because of high abstention. We will have even higher abstention; this always happens in European elections. I don’t think toxicity helps bring people to the polls.
The postal vote was brought and voted alone by New Democracy. That’s Europe. New Democracy’s pre-election slogan is consistently closer to Europe. We vote for MEPs to make Greece’s voice stronger. To have a new Recovery Fund, whether we’ll have a European defense fund. What will happen with the farmers, and how we will address competitiveness issues.
It’s a ballot from which conclusions will be drawn. The only party that has set a specific goal is New Democracy. We have said that we want to match or exceed the percentage of previous European elections. Only New Democracy wants to accelerate reforms; everyone else says to hit the brakes.
I don’t want to give anyone the opportunity to question whether the government has the legitimacy to make reforms. We evacuate occupations; I don’t want to hear that you don’t have legitimacy for these operations. If you see the speeches, SYRIZA doesn’t talk about Europe.”
SYRIZA, mirroring PASOK, opposes postal voting in Parliament but plans to expand it for national elections. Acknowledging room for improvement, we face challenges, with income accuracy being crucial. Recent inflation data is positive.
Symi: “How Can One Disappear Without a Trace
Our focus remains on increasing wages and reducing unemployment, with the minimum wage up 28% and fewer citizens working at that level. Despite tasks ahead, such as judicial process streamlining, our recent vote on a new judicial charter shows promise.
Inflation reduction alone won’t suffice; we aim for price reductions, spurred by recent decreases in supermarket prices. Rumors of my departure are unfounded; representing Greece in Europe entails negotiation, not unconditional acceptance.
Europe progresses slowly, as evident in the 36 billion received from the Recovery Fund. Election results suggest arrogance, which we must address when evaluating political staff. Demographic support efforts continue, addressing financial concerns hindering family expansion.
Challenges of an aging society are met with interventions in the Airbnb market and improved fire season preparedness. Mr. Kasselakis’s delayed asset declarations raise transparency concerns, contradicting claims of honesty. Our portfolio reflects a commitment to transparency and addressing citizens’ concerns.
