Some 24 hours earlier than his arrival in Patras for the ultimate pre-election speech on Friday (7:30 p.m.), Nikos Papandreou spoke concerning the stakes of the elections on Peloponnisos FM 104.1 and the present “Collectively within the air… good morning!”.
The MEP candidate believes that PASOK will make a robust photo-finish and declare 2nd place, which can give the Motion a lift in view of the nationwide elections which, as N. Papandreou predicts, will likely be held earlier because of the decay of New Democracy.
– Why ought to a democratic voter select PASOK and never SYRIZA or some other centre-left celebration?
As a result of PASOK has at all times taken care of the pursuits of Greece within the European Union. I’m reminded of the built-in Mediterranean packages or the entry of Cyprus into Europe when everybody stated it was not possible. Alternatively, SYRIZA has a confused place on Europe, being each professional and anti-NATO internally. This specific celebration’s views on international coverage are a blur. We’ve clear pro-European positions, with agency criticism, nevertheless, in the direction of capitalism. We’re socialist democrats.
– Do you assume that PASOK might make a robust photo-finish and win 2nd place?
Sure, the objective of 2nd place is achievable. In fact we will. I actually just like the expression of the sturdy photo-finish.
– Do you assume that the results of the European elections will result in political developments?
The reply is affirmative. The results of the European elections exhibits that it is going to be a harbinger of political developments. Moreover, when a authorities begins to weaken, it often holds elections earlier and barely reaches 4 years. If these are certainly the numbers we see within the polls, then I reckon the ND is not going to final. The good narrative of the primary 4 years that the whole lot goes effectively has now been demolished, with Tempi and with precision. The purpose is that we’ve convincing counter-proposals and when the nationwide elections come, we’re able to do what we have to do to be the winners.
– Why are these European elections vital?
Europe is at a essential crossroads, because it has to resolve whether or not it is going to be a Europe open and with a imaginative and prescient or a Europe phobic and with excessive voices. We attempt to persuade younger those who it’s value collaborating. PASOK voters are probably the most knowledgeable. As a result of it’s too handy for the system to proceed on the similar tempo, we progressive residents should rise up. If we do not vote, the highly effective will proceed to rule. Clearly, Democracy is underneath risk and cash and the pressures of the highly effective create a fait accompli in favor of capitalism. Should not we then struggle our battle?
– What are your essential priorities?
Having seen what’s and what’s not potential in Europe, I imagine that every one 21 MEPs can declare the reconstruction of Thessaly, in any other case we can have the primary refugees on account of local weather disaster in Greece. On the similar time, we’re additionally involved with drought, supporting agriculture and a big program for water and coastal erosion. Lastly, our precedence is the widespread protection coverage. We would like our borders to be guarded by all of Europe. This manner we may also be capable of spend more cash on social advantages.
