Greek elections: PASOK chief Androulakis calls PM Mitsotakis a blue SYRIZA

“Does any citizen remember when the other parties’ birthdays are” besides PASOK’s September 3rd, asked Nikos Androulakis, starting his interview with MEGA channel.

Greek elections: Mitsotakis vs Tsipras and Androulakis in the final stretch – The debate and the undecided

The reason that the other parties are discussing a coalition government with PASOK shows that “PASOK knows how to get the job done,” Nikos Androulakis told hosts.

The president of PASOK pointed out that the government that will emerge must be based on a common program, while he asked for a double-digit percentage in the upcoming elections for his party, as he has repeated many times.

“I will not say who the prime minister will be, there should be persons of common acceptance,” noted Mr. Androulakis, regarding the government that will emerge after the elections and the person who will assume the prime ministership.

“I am not going to impose anything, I am ready to discuss for the good of our country,” he said characteristically.

“I am the most consistent [candidate] in relation to the governability of the country,” said Nikos Androulakis, aiming barbs at Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Alexis Tsipras.

“Give me the strength to make the impossible possible”, noted the president of PASOK, speaking about the program that the government that will emerge should have and improve the lives of the citizens must have.

“We are not going to participate in a government with persons who played with the country’s fate”, said Nikos Androulakis, when asked if he would participate in a government of tolerance with the vote of Yanis Varoufakis.

On the administrators of State Organizations

Then the president of PASOK referred to how the administrators of the Organizations will be selected, which he proposes to be done through an international competition, with the administrators having a five-year term and will not be bound in a patron-client system.

This is a solution that will bring about “meritocracy” and help young people return from abroad to become managers, argued Nikos Androulakis.

On the economic program presented by New Democracy

“Mr. Mitsotakis is the blue SYRIZA”, accused the outgoing Prime Minister Nikos Androulakis in relation to the economic program he presented.

“I don’t like this gratuitousness that brought the Memoranda”, Nikos Androulakis characteristically said.

“We will build a new NHS”, as envisioned by PASOK officials, such as Giorgos Gennimatas, he emphasized.

Then Nikos Androulakis referred to the issue of main domiciles, the so-called first homes, and the issue of Education, which he characterized as top.

In fact, the president of PASOK proposed the “abolition of the Panhellenic to stop the hoarseness of tutoring schools”.

“Kindergarten for all Greek children, is my commitment,” said Nikos Androulakis.

On meetings with Mitsotakis

“He never invited me as the protocol would have required, between a political leader and a prime minister,” Nikos Androulakis said about whether Kyriakos Mitsotakis invited him to meet.

He then attacked the “parastatal groups” and “online gangs” that have been set up, as he said, by New Democracy and SYRIZA.

On Eleni Chronopoulou and the State ballot

As for whether Eleni Chronopoulou will be the head of PASOK’s State ballot, Nikos Androulakis said that this decision will be made in the next few hours together with Mrs. Chronopoulou and will be announced tomorrow Saturday.

On a pre-election debate

“There must be a debate with all the Greek party leaders”, said Nikos Androulakis, while he especially called on the young voters to trust him.

Nikos Androulakis ended by saying that tomorrow he will visit Thrace and joked with host journalist Iordanis Hasapopoulos, telling him that he will go to his first homeland and the second for him as he studies at the university there in Xanthi.
