Well, no one is surprised by this situation. I think it is more important and this concerns all parties – I am very proud, that I have belonged since I was a child to a party that has learned to respect all the internal procedures, the institutions, all the actors in this party, Presidents and Prime Ministers, when we had a unfortunate election result, when people sent a message, we received the message and proceeded immediately to internal party procedures. Each party has its own procedures. It is sad for the country that it cannot get a credible Opposition. This does no one any good at all, but, from then on, what is good, what is bad, what is right, what is wrong, will be judged by the members of each party,” the government official added. representative.
Regarding the president of PASOK and his attitude towards the education ministry bill, Mr. Marinakis said that Mr. Androulakis had the choice to speak to the present, to the future, to society or, as he said, to behave as Center-left Youth Secretary of the 80s or 90s.
“He chose the second, that is, he chose the amphitheater of the previous decades from society. He made excuses or complaints. The rhetoric of the president of PASOK, and I don’t know if this is a view shared by PASOK executives as a whole, and in this particular matter, reminds us of the amphitheater rhetoric of decades ago, even decades before we are also in the auditoriums. I’m not downgrading the amphitheater, battles have been fought, ideological battles have been fought, but I think we’ve gone to another level,” he added.
And he pointed out: “Mr. Androulakis used three arguments, justifying the no-vote. The first argument is the underfunding and need for more funding of the public university. In addition to the fact that under Kyriakos Mitsotakis funding has increased by almost 50%, from approximately 90 million per year – this is from official figures of the state budget – to 130 million per year, the bill that Mr. Androulakis will vote once morest a priori, gives 1 billion and a little more to public universities, while 70% of this bill concerns them. Second, it says strict criteria, strict conditions for non-states.
Everything that Mr. Androulakis invokes is already provided for by the Ministry of Education bill and in fact, I will also say something – I have said it many times, we have all said it many times, Mr. Pierrakakis and the entire Government have also said it – let’s they come to tell us in which country in Europe they exist, and which ones we should discuss, instead of saying in advance that they will vote once morest stricter criteria than the ones we set. And third, there will be no control, he says. While, once more, the bill says that any non-state university that wants to come to the country as a branch, should be checked and approved by the National Higher Education Authority, ETHAAE and EOPPEP.
That is, everything that he says, we have already predicted. In short, he is looking for excuses, to make a sterile opposition. It’s sad. I think a stronger majority was needed. And let me tell you something, even constitutionalists who traditionally belong to a different area than New Democracy, Mr. Venizelos, Mr. Alivizatos, have also stood in favor of the constitutionality of the bill. We must move on.”
Regarding the opinion polls that show that PASOK currently stands out in the opposition race, the government representative said: “The opinion polls reflect the confidence of the citizens, obviously with many problems, which was also the case in June when we won the elections. We didn’t win and people said “all problems are solved”. The same problems exist now. Some of which have been reduced. Some have been solved. Some came up along the way.
This Government is fighting a daily battle. He tries to solve most of the problems or requests of the citizens, to answer them. Major reforms are underway. In regarding seven and a half months we have discussed regarding non-state Universities, regarding a new Penal Code, regarding a new way of appointing Governors, regarding voting by letter. These are voted on. For an economic program that increases salaries in the public and private sectors. A series of interventions in Health. All this – obviously – the world needs to see it in action in order to accept it. Some are already being implemented.”
In addition, he stated that imported accuracy is the biggest problem facing Greek society while he said that it is regrettable that the examination was lost, even if this happened in a percentage of a little less than 10%.
“It is important that such an important bill is passed and more than 90% of Universities have secured examinations, with occupancy below half. So all that they say “the anger of the students”, is not the majority opinion of the students. Obviously, we have to travel another distance and all the other measures that must be taken so that the evacuation of an occupation is not even news. It is important that from 2019 onwards squatter evictions take place. And in the other thing you told me, there is no doubt that the biggest problem facing our country is accuracy. Accuracy is handled – not magically – in three ways.
The first is, with emergency measures. The extraordinary measures – some of which apply from 1 March – to reduce the consequences, such as all that we are doing for baby milk, to lower the list prices, we will see them in action. The second and most important is permanent interventions. Yes, cumulative inflation is 14% from 2019 to date, but average wage increases are higher, they are 15%. Well, we’re basically reducing the consequences. And the third way is the controls. And the controls have actually started in the last four years in our country and are intensifying. They have an effect. All these together keep the economy and the citizens upright and the main thing is that most of them have a permanent character and will stay when the crises will go away”, he underlined.
Asked if the government is putting the burden on PASOK following the developments in SYRIZA, he replied that “we are putting the burden, as before, on dealing with the problems of the citizens”.
