Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, accompanied by an entourage of government and regional officials, started his Saturday public speech in the city of Kozani, in northern Greece, by saying that “Greece’s heart, the Greece of hard work and creativity, democracy, social justice and prosperity(…)the heart of true patriotism is beating right here today, in Western Macedonia,” before moving on to what he called the government’s struggle to lead the country out of the memoranda.
The country’s lenders, the Troika of financial institutions, “we sent them away,” he said, referring to Greece’s exit from the loan memoranda in August 2018, “because we support the great social majority, the Greece ‘of the many’,” added the PM.
“We put a stop to money-related crimes, corruption, and financial greed in the health sector,” he said, adding that public health expenditure during the SYRIZA government went up to 3 billion euros from a mere 700 million euros in previous governments.
Finally, the prime minister addressed voters in personal terms, and said “friend, next Sunday, at the European elections, you have a choice, to either vote for confidence in the relief measures and our plan for the reversal of injustices and economic revival, or take the other ‘door’ to the past,” he added.
“New Democracy’s ticket represents the negation of relief, anti-austerity measures,” Tsipras underlined.
“The victims and the perpetrators do not share the same interests,” said Tsipras, before adding that “we are not the ones who divide(…)Greece of ‘the many’ could never divide, your elite politics, however, do just that-and only that.”
