It is one of the medium entrepreneurs and medium households until yesterday. It is precisely this middle class that believed in his fraud and his pre-electoral lies, “he added, highlighting that” the perception that permeates this bill is the same that permeates all aspects of government policy: it is the fault of the citizens. Because of the pandemic, the crisis and the red loans. “

Continuing, the president of SYRIZA – PS referred to the “real strategic defaulters” who “not only do not sweat but drink again for the health of fools”, the “big businessmen” or the “casino owners” and the “renowned shipping families that” Greek banks do not receive the same treatment in their loans, compared to many anonymous small and medium-sized companies. “In fact, he described the New Democracy party and” Mr. Mitsotakis personally “as the” biggest strategic defaulter “, and asked the Finance Minister how he” feels today “when his party has” more than 300 million loans and repayments to banks “and at the same time is preparing” for the bankruptcy of homes and individuals for 100 and 50 thousand euros “.

Following the announcement of the presentation of the motion of no confidence, Al. Tsipras asked the Speaker of Parliament to immediately start the three-day debate in order to “force” the Prime Minister to attend and explain “what are the interests and reasons that in the midst of a pandemic they impose the withdrawal of the protection of the first home and the liquidation of assets of our weak fellow citizens “. “Mr Mitsotakis will come and apologize to both Parliament and the Greek people,” he concluded.
