[00:00:06] to put on the table that Kyriakos [00:00:09] Mitsotakis is doing something which has not happened with [00:00:13] politics and has happened once in Greek political [00:00:17] history third [00:00:20] claim for a third continuous term and [00:00:24] indeed in the sense of completeness, that is, the years I am talking [00:00:27] about for the fuses may even be unique. Yes, because you are good, [00:00:31] because there is nothing opposite, the other person says to you, I will tell you [00:00:35] I will tell you this, let's just say let's remember that [00:00:38] this has not happened to anyone in politics. [00:00:42] In Greek political history, it has happened once by [00:00:45] Konstantinos Karamanlis [00:00:48] the elder in 1955, [00:00:51] if I remember correctly. So, I am saying [00:00:55] this because the reason it doesn't happen is that there is [00:00:58] also some fatigue in the electorate after [00:01:02] seven years, not only for us, but for everyone. [00:01:05] Now, does this happen because we are good or because the others are not good [00:01:09] enough? That is the question. Look, it's a philosophical [00:01:12] question. Why? Because, as you know, in life, [00:01:16] we always have specific choices. That is, we all might want [00:01:20] something better or something, [00:01:22] let's say, ideal, but when you go to your polling [00:01:26] station, you have a choice of ballots. You will [00:01:30] choose from these ballots, indeed, therefore, [00:01:33] there is obviously [00:01:36] a comparative element. However, you will allow me, since you said something [00:01:40] that I don't want to avoid, New Democracy moved [00:01:43] to the center, New Democracy moved to the [00:01:46] left. So, I will tell you this, in my [00:01:50] opinion, something has happened that [00:01:53] I don't know if it has led to a definitive victory, but it is a very significant [00:01:56] crack in what was a pact. [00:02:02] an ideological hegemony of the left for many, many years and [00:02:05] regardless of who was in power, what do I mean by [00:02:08] this? Kyriakos Mitsotakis is credited [00:02:12] with this, that is, to put it in very [00:02:15] simple terms, if 20 years ago I had [00:02:19] told you, restrictive immigration policy, whoever wants to [00:02:22] come in here cannot, we must have return and repatriation [00:02:25] policies, you would have told me that I am a fascist, that I am [00:02:29] a racist. and far-right, you might have told me that, but many [00:02:33] would have said it, you say it, you who did not vote for the marriage of same-sex [00:02:36] couples, 2 minutes, no, two minutes, the [00:02:39] fact, the fact then that I did not go to [00:02:43] vote for the marriage means [00:02:46] first that I did not vote for the marriage even though it was a proposal, so I did not [00:02:49] vote for it, even though it was a proposal of the government and I want to tell you [00:02:53] something that I was a minister of state then next to the [00:02:56] prime minister, yes, here, that is, to say everything, the prime minister. [00:03:00] understanding how divisive this issue was [00:03:03] for us and how many very strong [00:03:06] conscientious issues there were for this, he left the [00:03:09] minister who was next to him, next to [00:03:12] him, in the next office, making an opening to the center, so [00:03:16] okay, you vote for me, making an opening to the [00:03:18] center, look, I will tell you that the issue of marriage, [00:03:22] as you know, concerned us a lot, it divided us a lot, it split us a lot and [00:03:26] I will say that it also had political consequences, okay now. [00:03:30] If someone told me, however, on the other hand, that it should, because when [00:03:34] you make an assessment for a government, you don't stick to one issue, you put many [00:03:37] issues together, so there I have to include our foreign [00:03:41] policy, there I have to include our armaments, there I have to include our [00:03:44] frigates, there I have to include the unified [00:03:48] defense doctrine with Cyprus that was implemented, there I have to include the EEZ with Egypt, there [00:03:52] I have to include the excavations that are happening today, there I have to include the [00:03:56] reduction of unemployment, there I have to include the increase of the minimum wage, there I have to [00:04:00] include the de-escalation of public debt, there I have to include the [00:04:03] digitalization of the state, there I have to include many issues, [00:04:07] good, important things that this government has done and to [00:04:11] include in this that I consider here, some of my colleagues agree, [00:04:15] some disagree, I consider that this was a misguided policy, that's why I didn't [00:04:18] vote for it, some of my colleagues will say no, it should have been done, but [00:04:22] even for me who says it was a misguided policy, I put them on the scale, [00:04:26] I won't go to vote against it, all right, when I put everything on the scale. [00:04:30] Understood, understood. In case of non-self-sufficiency, which is an [00:04:33] existing scenario, right? Given [00:04:36] the pressure from the Turkish government, since you just [00:04:39] mentioned it, on our country, what do you intend to do? [00:04:43] Do you intend to go into a coalition government with [00:04:47] whom and what does this mean for our foreign policy? So, the [00:04:51] first thing we should all agree to ascertain [00:04:55] is that there is tension and irritation on Turkey's part, right? These [00:04:58] statements, for what reason? Fidan, you heard her statements correctly, [00:05:02] correctly. So, these statements, well, they are not new, you will remember [00:05:05] that we will come at night and do it, you will remember all that, right? These things are said [00:05:09] from time to time, but it is a fact that there is irritation. [00:05:13] Why is there irritation? Has anyone thought about it? Because two [00:05:16] things are happening here. On the one hand, we have some people who [00:05:19] accuse us of an appeasement foreign policy, when we are quite tough, in two [00:05:23] words, you are talking about the former Prime Minister, among others, pay attention, and [00:05:27] on the other hand, and on the other hand, we have a very [00:05:29] irritated Turkey. What is it that irritates [00:05:32] Turkey? Obviously, it is irritated by the fact [00:05:36] that we have made all this armament program and that as soon as [00:05:39] we receive all these weapons, the frigates, [00:05:43] there will be a different defensive correlation. [00:05:46] Obviously, it is irritated that excavations are taking place [00:05:50] exactly where they supposedly have made a Turkish-Lybian memorandum [00:05:53] themselves. It is irritated, obviously it is [00:05:56] irritated by the fact that Europe [00:05:59] suddenly sent troops and Greece first and [00:06:03] then all of Europe, when there was an issue for the protection of [00:06:06] Cyprus, so obviously it is irritated by the marine [00:06:10] parks we have made, all these things. And mainly, it is [00:06:13] worried, it is irritated by the dome, the strategic [00:06:17] alliance with Israel, it is irritated, sir, he also said something else, of course, [00:06:20] so allow me to complete this, it is something that Turkey has not [00:06:23] seen before, Turkey has not seen [00:06:27] this from Greece before. He also said something [00:06:30] else, he says we [00:06:33] talk to Greek politicians and you don't need to know everything we [00:06:37] discuss, leaving insinuations about Greek [00:06:40] politicians, it goes that far. I also hear that, [00:06:44] that there is supposedly a secret diplomacy under the [00:06:47] table, because Mitsotakis will sell out and [00:06:51] suddenly we will have... Okay, so these things must [00:06:54] come, you understand, so anything like that must come and pass through [00:06:57] Parliament, it must come and be voted on, it must [00:07:00] come and pass, I will say primarily and mainly by the Greek [00:07:04] people. So, have we seen anything like that in seven [00:07:08] years now, because we see the opposite, we see what... [00:07:20] what the government intends to do regarding the energy [00:07:23] crisis which is present and is expected to worsen the [00:07:26] winter, Mr. Voridis, and there [00:07:28] it is pressured. I think that this is the most difficult issue we have to [00:07:32] deal with at the level of society and at the level, if you will, of relations with [00:07:36] citizens, because let's say this too. We talk [00:07:40] daily and systematically. If you go to [00:07:43] a region, let's say an electoral region, to the MPs of New Democracy, you will see with the people [00:07:47] you see others, heating oil for vehicles, and we hear [00:07:51] these things as great pressure. So I see [00:07:54] that, firstly, the Prime Minister [00:07:57] said and pledged that there will be a series of announcements, a series of [00:08:00] measures which will obviously bring in consultation with the refineries which [00:08:04] will bring the gasoline to 1.75, that is, to a [00:08:07] lower limit which we had all this last, yes, all [00:08:11] this last time period. The second is that there will be [00:08:15] benefits that will be targeted, [00:08:18] I imagine mainly in areas he mentioned, but I think there will also be [00:08:21] different criteria. So, benefits to support this, [00:08:25] and he also said that it is clear that he will propose a package of energy [00:08:28] policies to the European Commission, because this [00:08:32] is not an issue that only concerns Greece, the shelves, the [00:08:35] products, that's the issue, will you be able to contain it, that's [00:08:39] the issue, and that's a big struggle. We have to see how it will [00:08:43] succeed, because we have to see how this new agreement we have made with all the European [00:08:47] supply chain will work. There are fears that it won't work, that [00:08:50] it will work, but it's something we have to see, isn't it? But since we are talking about the [00:08:54] measures the government is taking, the government is doing this, I will add something else, more [00:08:58] political, for the closing, if you like, [00:09:01] do you remember all this last period, because I want this to be appreciated, because it is one of the things that [00:09:05] must be credited to the prime minister, do you remember all this last period when [00:09:09] they were saying early elections, an argument for the [00:09:12] elections from people who are favorable to New Democracy and want New Democracy to [00:09:16] win again. Do you know what their argument was to the [00:09:19] prime minister? My friend, we will have a difficult winter. There is a [00:09:23] wave of price increases, and we are also in the seventh year. [00:09:26] Now, why should he go now, when conditions are better, because he won't find [00:09:30] such good conditions. The answer Kyriakos Mitsotakis gives to [00:09:34] this is not just a rhetorical answer, "I want to finish my [00:09:37] term," it's that "I am not going to leave [00:09:41] the battle to solve this." that I am [00:09:43] here [00:09:45] precisely for the difficult moment, to do my best [00:09:47] to [00:13:45] Every weekend we highlight the issues of [00:13:49] society.
