Populism and fake news in the ashes 2024-08-18 10:26:37

The deputy minister to the prime minister and government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, accused the president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, of spreading false news, calling it impermissible to question the authenticity of public documents of the Security Forces. “Mr. Kasselakis has the right to choose which opposition he will form, even the cheapest one. What is impermissible is to question the authenticity of public documents and indeed documents of the Security Forces, such as the one included by the Fire Brigade in its mouth-watering response to the slanderous announcement of SYRIZA on aerial means. The president of SYRIZA, in this way, knowingly spreads false news, causing fear in public opinion and crossing all limits”, said Mr. Marinakis.

Direct answer

Data on the operational activity of aerial vehicles during the days of the fire in Northeast Attica was previously provided by the headquarters of the Fire Brigade, indirectly responding to SYRIZA and its president, Stefanos Kasselakis, who argued in his post that only three aerial vehicles were flying, while of the party’s competent department head, Symeon Kedikoglou, submitted a request for the granting of the relevant aerial operational action files.

Explanations

The Fire Service reported, among other things, that the aerial vehicles were working on the fire “in circles”, that is, they were not all working at the same time, as some were making drops and some others were either refueling or supplying water, in order to work again in the field .

“I showed the aerial vehicles to Stefanos Kasselakis when I was giving him a tour”, stressed the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilias, noting (SKAI) that the 20 aerial vehicles were operating at that moment and the rest were being replenished, putting in fuel, retarding fluid, in order to stand up again. “These cannot be disputed,” added the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection.

“Twelve aerial up – twelve down is not a big difference, if you are a political aspirant. When the government comes to the number of the lie, let it also give us the exact data that we have been asking for since the day before yesterday,” Stefanos Kasselakis insisted, continuing the irresponsibility recital with his new post: “So it’s time to ask the question: With one F-35 less , how many fire engines do you buy? The answer is three hundred! But then recruiting would be needed and he has left fire protection to her luck. After all, equipment is the big kickbacks. Let this government understand even at the time of its decline that the Defense of our country begins with the ability to protect the lives and property of our people”, concludes the head of the official opposition party.

New Democracy’s response was furious, accusing the president of SYRIZA of being dangerous when he includes the country’s defense armor in his “populist” narrative:
“What Mr. Kasselakis has mentioned since yesterday in his populism recital, with successive statements of all kinds, have been answered in detail with evidence. The fact that he is unable to understand them is his own problem”, the ND Press Office noted in a statement. and added: “However, including the country’s defense armor in his populist narrative, makes him not only picturesque but also dangerous”, commented N.D.

Posts with shots against Mitsotakis

Stefanos Kasselakis continued his posts with personal shots, as well as characterizations, against the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, while in a new announcement of the party he demanded from the press representative of the N.D., Nikos Romanos, who answered him with political arguments , “to address the leader of the official opposition with due respect”.
