With SYRIZA we are separated by a gap, Kyriakos Mitsotakis continued, accusing Alexis Tsipras as the orchestrator of the attacks against him and his family.
Asked during the press conference at the Thessaloniki International Fair about whether there is division in society, the Prime Minister noted:
“Mr. Tsipras has chosen a personal attack against me, against my family. The gutter within the internet leaves no doubt by whom it is directed. I feel that with SYRIZA we are separated by a value and political gap “.
He added, however, that “this does not mean that society is divided. It is my duty to talk to society and to avoid tensions. If some people think that society is in 2011 and they dream of a new movement of “outraged citizens”, they are deeply nightmarish. You can ask Mr. Tsipras himself what he is seeking through all these personal attacks “.
Earlier, the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, referring to the recent reshuffle and the wash out of his initial selection of retired admiral Apostolakis, let fly barbs against Alexis Tsipras without naming him.
“I think I have exhausted my intention to be consensual with people and places that are not in the mood for consensus. I want consent with the citizens. I have no reason to talk about consent with people who a few days before asked for what I actually did and then criticized it.”
Kyriakos Mitsotakis, clarifying that the elections will take place at the end of the four years, referred to the policy of Alexis Tsipras in the period of 2015.
“I am very optimistic about the course of the Greek economy. The conditions will be suitable when we ask again for the trust of the Greek people,” he continued and referring quickly to the electoral dilemmas of 2023, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that “the credibility of this government will be judged by the credibility of the previous government.”
