Androulakis: Prime Minister downplays as "unnecessary" yet another provocative and unacceptable action by Turkey and Mr. Erdogan, the President of PASOK – Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, commented on the Turkish President's decision to turn the Chora Monastery into a mosque, during his tour of the commercial center of Chania. He noted that this happened four days before he met Mr. Mitsotakis, who today described this unacceptable action as "unnecessary", downplaying it. "We believe it was a dangerous act against European values and a world heritage site," he said, stressing that we already know about the impact experts point out on Hagia Sophia when it was turned into a mosque. However, Androulakis also answered the question of whether we were surprised by this action by Turkey: "It was a declared act since the summer of 2020. What did Mr. Mitsotakis and the leadership of the European Union do to prevent this provocative action? Nothing. So they must understand that, as long as they are joking with the sultan, these will be the results." He stressed that Turkey needs a holistic response and this can be none other than sanctions, when it violates human rights and sovereign rights of neighboring countries and does not respect world heritage monuments such as Hagia Sophia and the Monastery of Chora.Asked about the stakes of the European elections, he stressed that in the face of the government's actions, "a response of disapproval is needed. but at the same time strengthening the Democratic Party. The stronger PASOK and the Democratic Party are, the greater the threat New Democracy will feel and the next day the people will have a serious, strong opposition, but also a strong government choice for the next national elections. The problems of the permanent populations of the small islands of our country were the focus of the meeting that the PASOK-Movement for Change President had yesterday with the Mayor of Serifos, Nikos Androulakis Konstantinos Revinthis. He prioritized the well-being of the inhabitants. "That is why we propose strong tax incentives for productive investments in manufacturing and the primary sector. Strengthening the infrastructure that suffers and a strong social state with emphasis on health and education," he noted. He also referred to the issue that has arisen with the golden visa regarding the residential development of islands with less than 3,000 inhabitants. "I find it inconceivable that the government – after pressure from PASOK – raised the threshold for obtaining the golden visa to 800,000 euros in Crete and other large islands, but here in the smaller islands of the Cyclades and the rest of Greece the limit remains at 400,000 euros, resulting in great pressure and inequalities." The scandal of the leak of the personal data of expatriates by the Ministry of Interior has now reached uncontrollable proportions, but Mrs. Kerameus remains in hiding. The revelation that, according to ELAS, the break-in at the office of the Ministry's Director of Elections was staged "from within" fully confirms that the Ministry of Interior is an "unfenced vineyard" and the elements of Greek citizens prey to the government's political aspirations. The reports that referred to the leakage of the data of the expatriates during the ministry of Mrs. Kerameus are also confirmed, with the Ministry of Interior trying through its report to put the blame on the officials. The cover-up of the responsibilities of the political leadership falls on deaf ears. Mrs. Kerameus must finally take political responsibility and inform the Greek people: When were the data of our expatriates finally leaked? Who is behind the "staged break-in" and how are these allegations linked to the "email gate" scandal? How is it possible that all this is happening in the Ministry of the Interior, which has decisive importance and absolute responsibility for safeguarding the electoral process? More HERE.
