PM Mitsotakis from Paiania: “We will not return to the era of memoranda – That’s where the proposals of SYRIZA lead us”

"We support public education first & foremost"

Newsroom May 31 11:57

Speaking to citizens in Paiania, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted the significance of the European elections on June 9 and criticized the opposition, stating that their proposals would lead us back to the era of memoranda.

“These European elections are very important. You’ve heard me say why participation in the ballot box is necessary. In the next five years, significant decisions will be made in Europe, and we want New Democracy to be very strong in the European Council to negotiate the interests of Greek citizens,” said the Prime Minister, who reminded that “we, New Democracy, are the party of Europe. Konstantinos Karamanlis brought Greece into Europe.”

He emphasized, “When I attend the European Council today, we are no longer treated as the black sheep of Europe but as the pleasant surprise of Europe. And this gives us additional strength and capabilities.”

Criticizing the opposition and the way it deals with the European elections, Mr. Mitsotakis noted that “we should not give them the opportunity to speak again in a language that society has rejected. They haven’t changed after all. They may have a new communication wrapper, but their discourse is still divisive, toxic, populist, and unfulfilled promises.”

As we enter the final stretch for the Euro elections, Kyriakos Mitsotakis asked “in the last week to focus mainly on one goal: to convince our fellow citizens who voted for us in the May and June elections to return to the ballot box and do exactly the same again same”

Insisting on the issue of participation, Kyriakos Mitsotakis asked the citizens to convey “the message of participation, support for our faction and I am sure that just as I have fallen into all my football and sports predictions, I will also fall into this forecast. We will reach and exceed the goal we have set and we will be the big winners again.”

Making a special reference to the young people and those who are taking nationwide exams, the prime minister wished “good luck to the children who started yesterday in the nationwide exams. It is a difficult road, a beautiful struggle. We support first and foremost public education. We want to give the children the opportunity to study in a public university that will not be run by the braggarts but by those who advocate knowledge and freedom of expression”.
