It would be a lot more useful for Greece and the residents of fire-afflicted areas to have a main opposition party that tabled specific proposals instead of a leader who keeps posting on social media endlessly, Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister and government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said on Friday.

Responding to criticism by SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Stefanos Kasselakis about a scheduled visit by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the fire-ravaged areas of Penteli on Tuesday, instead of immediately, Marinakis said, “Has Mr Kasselakis, in any of the dozens of announcements/postings he has made in a few days, wondered why the prime minister will visit the afflicted areas on Tuesday with relevant ministers and local government officials?” It is a logical question for “a party leader who sees a visit as a photo-op or video-op” and who acts in general “like a wandering influencer,” the spokesperson added.

He added said that Mitsotakis’ visit to Penteli to talk with Attica Region officials and mayors in the region needed to be preceded by the registration of damage, inspections and cost assessments of private and environmental damage, and preparatory work that could lead to a comprehensive plan to provide the best solutions for citizens.

“Therefore, it would be a lot more useful for Greece and the residents of fire-afflicted areas to have a main opposition party that would table specific – and mainly costed – proposals instead of having a leader who keeps posting on social media as easily as he breathes. If anything, when anyone searches for the latest SYRIZA program for the European elections, they will not find half a sentence on managing the climate crisis and further enhancing civil protection,” Marinakis concluded.
