Tsipras Delivers Strong Message From Thessaloniki
Alexis Tsipras delivered sharp criticism of the government during an event in Thessaloniki, stressing that Greece needs genuine alliances rather than protectors.
A Vision For A Victorious Progressive Movement
The former prime minister spoke of a progressive political force that is ready to take charge of the country, during the presentation of his book Ithaki.
A Cohesive Governance Plan In The Works
He emphasized that he and his team are working systematically on a coherent progressive governance plan, noting that society urgently needs the reconstruction of the progressive camp.
A Call For A New Political Era
Tsipras highlighted the need for rupture and what he described as a new Metapolitefsi, aiming for a strong and fair state for all. He pledged institutional reforms, real transparency, and a new digital platform evolving from the existing Diavgeia system.
We Have A Compass And Know The Course
The opposition leader stated that the progressive public is seeking a strong governing progressive force rather than protest parties, declaring that the journey has begun anew.
Accusations Against The Government
Tsipras accused the current administration of being the worst government of the post junta era during one of the most challenging internal and international periods. He especially targeted the stance of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on foreign policy matters.
Criticism Over Sanctions And Foreign Policy
He reproached the government for blocking sanctions against Israel amid accusations of genocide, questioning how it will then demand sanctions against Turkey in the future.
Dangerous Statements On Legality Of Interventions
The former prime minister also criticized Mitsotakis for calling it not the right moment to evaluate the legality of interventions. Tsipras warned that such positions undermine Greece’s standing in the Aegean and Cyprus.
A Dangerous State
He described the state as dangerous, citing natural disasters, the Tempi tragedy, and the recent blackout in the Athens FIR. He argued that the collapse in airspace management resulted from deliberate political choices, as projects were frozen for not being aligned with the government’s planning.
The Wiretapping Scandal As A Model Of Power
Tsipras placed the wiretapping scandal within the same framework, describing it as a model of governance rather than an error, and linking it to broader phenomena of looting and corruption.
