Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, addressing Parliament on the consequences of the coronavirus, responded vigorously to objections from the opposition.
“I am glad that you now recognize the need for information. So let’s discuss a second campaign, bring it to Parliament and discuss for a television campaign.” There is a need, especially when opinions that are not far from extreme theories are heard in this room. ” emphasized Mr. Mitsotakis addressing the opposition and directly attacked the president of the Hellenic Solution: “Your speech, Mr. Velopoulos, was in direct defiance of the expert instructions. You spoke directly about not wearing a mask at a young age. I tell you again that this was the suggestion of the experts ”.
“I understand that you cannot force a 6, 7 or 8-year-old to wear the mask all the time.” We are not going to punish a child for not wearing the mask. “He hastened to refer to Mrs. Kerameos. , saying that she herself has said that the masks at an early age have a pedagogical character and added: “But there are also very moving stories with children who suffer from incurable diseases and use them constantly. the use of a mask is required According to experts and if we do not want to go to new measures that will look like new lock, we must comply with the measure. The mask does not hurt. You can only benefit and that is simple logic. The mask protects against drops. “
Mitsotaki Deuterology
Fire against Varoufakis
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his deuterology also attacked Giannis Varoufakis, saying: “I consider it extremely problematic to have a deputy in the Greek parliament hall, much less a party leader, who refers to Greece as a debt deal. These things are unacceptable, to be said in this room by the man who has enormous responsibilities for the fact that in 2015 if his plan had been listened to, then Greece would have abandoned the euro and then we would be a true slavery ”.
RELEVANT ARTICLES
Furthermore, I do not allow you in this room to accuse, in a health crisis, this government of making political decisions based on the interests and not on the health of the Greek people. These accusations are unthinkable, unlike how society perceives all this effort that has been made. They go against all the real facts that certify that our country in the first and second cycles of the pandemic has achieved much better than many other countries. “When we talk about the lives of our fellow men, when we talk about public health, be more careful from now on, when you say such non-existent things,” added the prime minister.
Mr. Mitsotakis also referred extensively to the article by MIT professor Kimonas Drakopoulos. Although he admitted that “we all – and I admit it – relaxed after the first successful handling of the pandemic, but not to cancel an entire effort.”
Kyriakos Mitsotakis reported that he will not respond, as he was going to have a contact by phone, without specifying with whom.
“In the second wave of the pandemic, Greece has done better than many other countries”
The Prime Minister pointed out that when you do more tests you detect more cases. “In April and May we never said that the real cases were the ones we had identified. We never said that because we knew that the real cases were multiple. And the proof was the number of people who lost their lives and the pressure that the ICU was under. Today we do not have a corresponding pressure in the ICU, although our hospitals are functioning normally, we have not suspended surgeries and we have not entered – and I do not think it will happen – to enter the emergency regime to mobilize intensive care beds and free them from other uses of the SEN. “Today’s testing has increased significantly,” he said.
The Prime Minister also responded to Alexis Tsipras’ accusation that he is a political con artist, reminding him of what he said last May about opening up tourism, while, as he said, he saw many similarities in criticism from both Tsipras and Gennimata.
“You talked about tourism. From his accusations I understood that he told us that we hurried to open tourism and that we had to wait longer. In May you said exactly the opposite. He told us why the hotel units have not been opened. And then you call me political scammer. You said yourself that we have to open tourism, you told us about heavy industry, people are being destroyed, what is going to happen, they are going to be unemployed and now you are saying the opposite. We opened tourism knowing. It was worth it That we opened tourism, 4 billion is that. For you, the billions may be passable and you may not be interested and it should not be worth it. In our opinion it was worth it. I noticed several similarities in Ms. Gennimata and Mr. Tsipras in their speeches. “But I did not hear any proposal from the leader of the official opposition, other than the easy encouragement to double the number of rooms and divide the children in the middle in some magical way,” he stressed.
The Prime Minister reiterated that the second wave country has done much better than other European countries and criticized himself, saying that everyone has relaxed since July and that this is not going to happen again.
“In the second wave we have done better than other countries compared to the first wave. These are the facts. Do not constantly shoot the country for your own internal party reasons. I understand the need to embellish your speech with elements that can impress. You create impressions when the elements are in the complete opposite direction. The government will boldly acknowledge errors and omissions. We have relaxed and are not allowed to make the same mistake again. “I am not a social democrat, I am a liberal politician and I do not look at your space. , Mrs. Gennimata, “said Mr. Mitsotakis.
Tsipras: We haven’t found any negatives of the mask.
For his part, in response, the official opposition leader told the prime minister that he asked him to be self-critical, but found he kept wagging his finger. “We have never met the deniers of the mask, you met them at the Prespa rallies. Our faction has a constant front against darkness and we are always on the side of science. But we criticized and the main criticism we exercised was in the opening of tourism with many different protocols. My post that you read in May said precisely that: that tourism opens without a plan. We also criticize you for opening schools, but we are not of the opinion that schools should not be opened. “
Regarding the Prime Minister’s accusation that SYRIZA does not submit proposals, Mr. Tsipras stated that his party submitted many proposals both in July and now.
Finally, regarding the issues of the economy, Mr. Tsipras pointed out that in the third quarter, because tourism did not go well, we will have a large accumulation of income.
“You brought the recession before the coronavirus. In the last quarter of 2019, our country was among the only three countries in the European Union that had a recession. We are in free fall. The question is what will happen to the collision and the social consequences that It will bring. Do very little, very slowly and without a plan. “You want to face this crisis for a major restructuring both in the market and at work,” Tsipras said.
And he added: “But the most worrying thing is what happens with pensions and insurance. We have a direct targeting of the welfare state with the privatization of auxiliary insurance, easier layoffs, reduction of benefits for the unemployed. And all this in the name of not paying the elderly but taking care of the young. We need a change in strategy to have growth, support for the economy, demand and supply, with a package for the future that you rejected and now see the consequences. “
Gennimata: The society to obey the orders of the experts.
Fofi Gennimata in his own deuterology stressed that society to obey the orders given by experts and the government must trust the political system.
“Today’s debate has highlighted the great political problem of this place, namely that the government and the official opposition choose the crowns instead of dialogue and substantive arguments. However, tonight’s dialogue also highlighted the problems. We will continue to take initiatives and lobby until we see effective solutions in the interest of the Greek people. Go ahead, Mr. Mitsotakis, to see and do it, and that is extremely dangerous. Do not embellish things with communication terms, touch the real problems because only then will you be able to face and solve them, ”said the president of the Movement for Change.
