At noon, additional support measures will be announced for farmers as well as for pensioners, who did not see an increase due to a personal difference, said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, addressing the citizens of Florina.
“Some now come and yell and say that they will repeal the law that they themselves voted for, but the pensioners do not forget who those who crushed their pensions are, with a third unnecessary memorandum, just as they do not forget, that for the first time, they saw increases in pensions from this government,” the prime minister said.
Mr. Mitsotakis expressed his belief that “the spring election will once again give New Democracy the opportunity to continue the important work we have done”.
“I am sure that the citizens will trust us again, because the citizens see, judge and compare,” he said and noted that “the New Democracy party is the great popular social faction of the country, it is the faction that puts social justice into practice.”
Barbs against SYRIZA
He accused the president of SYRIZA-PS, Alexis Tsipras, of “divisive speech” and noted: “We have a plan for the Greece of the future. Some others persist in divisive talk of supposedly abolishing democracy. Who; Those who remember their deeds and the days when they ruled. And at the same time insist on dividing the Greeks. I’m not going to do that.”
Mr. Mitsotakis stated that he is not going to promise things that are not going to be done and added: “I leave these to others. And those who are promising you the impossible today are doing it out of confidence. Because we know very well that it is impossible for them to be elected, so it doesn’t cost them anything to promise everyone everything”.
When asked by the gathered citizens when the elections will be held, he answered in the spring and declared that New Democracy is ready at any time for elections.
Mr. Mitsotakis thanked the citizens of Florina who gathered at 9 in the morning and in the cold, on the pedestrian street next to the Sakoulevas river to listen to him.
