Addressing a women’s event in Lamia, central Greece on Monday evening, Prime Minister referred to what he called “New Greece,” which he defined as “those who know the value gained by the Greeks when they are united.”

The prime minister called on citizens to take a clear position on this issue: “Do they want the elections as a lever of stability or as a lever of destabilization? Do they realise the dangers if the latter takes place? And they must know for our side the positive and the sure. The steps may be small but they are sure, steadfast towards the hope of a Greece, that not merely can now breathe but it also can make the big leap forward. And this is the great question.”

Prime Minister lashed out at main opposition party, SYRIZA, accusing it for trying to topple the government by using European elections Euroelections to create political instability in the country.
Mr Samaras added that “this is a huge danger, a substantive one, because they see the elections as a lever for the country’s destabilization. But I see the elections as a lever for the country’s stabilization; as yet another step forward that we must take with stability and seriousness for what is called growth. Because only growth can provide a solution to all the existing problems.”

He also said that “New Greece is not those who want to get back to crisis and misery from where we managed to get away successfully. New Greece is not protecting the privileges of a small group at other’s people expense,” and he continued by saying “New Greece means also those who bring investments in the country to provide work for our children, your children…not the ones who send them away! It is those who generate income, wealth, jobs and opportunities for everyone.”

Mr Samaras also underlined that inequalities still exist against women and these have to be eliminated as “there can be no growth if women do not fully participate, if women are deprived of the opportunity to unfold their talents is each sector.”
