"On June 9, the Greek people will have the historic opportunity to change the political correlations, seeking a better future for Greece and Europe. We can and deserve more. Whatever the citizens may have voted in the past, today they have a number of reasons to vote for PASOK," stated opposition PASOK-Movement for Change leader Nikos Androulakis to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency, a few hours before the opening of the ballot boxes for the European Parliament elections.
Androulakis cited three reasons why voters should support PASOK: In order to have a credible, strong opposition to the New Democracy government, to have a strong centre-left that will be able to defeat New Democracy and because, by voting for PASOK, the European socialists who fight for a fairer and more self-reliant Europe will be strengthened.
He said that if the Greek people again grant a strong mandate to Mitsotakis, then "in the next three years arrogance, corruption, inefficiency and impunity will be taken to another level."
Androulakis noted that "there is no ceiling" and that his goal is to once again make PASOK the meeting point for every progressive citizen, every democrat.
On the post-election cooperation of the centre-left forces, Nikos Androulakis clearly defined the context and noted that "everything on the table, in the light of day, at the base of society from which we constantly derive legitimacy. Any other strategy is not only unsustainable but will be butter to Mitsotakis' bread".
Referring to main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Stefanos Kasselakis, he said that "Kasselakis himself has, with his own statements, excluded himself. He is not interested in participating, because his goal is to create a spineless party with no beginning, middle and end. Lifestyle is his only ideology," he said.
Regarding the issues of the European agenda, the president of PASOK-KINAL pointed out that no one will cooperate with the far-right parties of Europe in the European Parliament, accusing the European People's Party and ND of "flirting" with Italy's Giorgia Meloni.
Finally, he supported the abolition of the power of veto regarding foreign policy and tax matters, noting that the rule of unanimity does not ultimately favour Greece's national interests.
