An announcement was issued by New Left through its representative, Nasos Iliopouloscommenting on the health measures that prevailed in our country in the midst of the corona pandemic, pointing out the government’s failures in matters of vaccination but also leaving points regarding the attitude of Pavlos Polakis.
The announcement of the New Left essentially comes as a comment on today’s announcement by Astra Zeneca that it is withdrawing the vaccine for the coronavirus worldwide. The company attributes the decision to declining demand for the vaccine due to a “surplus of available updated vaccines” targeting new variants of the virus. But it is recalled that this decision comes just a few days following the company’s admission that the vaccine for the coronavirus causes side effects.
The announcement of the New Left in detail
We have long argued that the Mitsotakis government is the best sponsor of the extreme right in the country. The way he handled the pandemic was a critical moment for the strengthening of these currents in Greek society.
At the moment when we had to talk regarding public health measures in public transport, in schools, in places of work, he chose not to do anything substantial in the above. We heard from government officials that the virus does not catch in churches.
Even in vaccination, he made critical back-and-forths (eg vaccination of pregnant women) that further fueled suspicion.
However, the Mitsotakis government was consciously or unconsciously backed by those who single-mindedly and dominantly entered the confrontation in terms of vaccine vs. drugs (as if the drugs were not made by the same companies).
Vaccines were also questioned by the far-right Bolsonaro, but the need to abolish patents and to talk overall regarding public health measures mainly in prevention (such as in workplaces and mass media) was raised by the Left.
The obsession with the drugs vs. vaccines dilemma only managed to strengthen Mitsotakis. It is also no coincidence that this debate worldwide is privileged by far-right forces. Pavlos Polakis even today refuses to accept it.
Finally the way he attacks not only opponents but even people who are supposed to still be in the same party (?), is an element of decadence and degeneration. Authoritarian and reactionary forces are not won over by embracing aspects of their politics but through conflict. This is what the New Left will do.
