SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, in his address in Corinth, referred to six top priorities that his government will implement in order for Greece to become a European country again. “The sealed lips have turned into clenched fists and fear has changed camp,” said Tsipras. “Hope is coming, dignity, democracy; Greece is ready to make the huge step. Nobody can stop this hope…the time has come for the Memorandum to leave together with the politicians that supported it,” he noted. Tsipras sternly attacked Greek Prime Minister and New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras that he attempts to stop SYRIZA’s course with fear and mudslinging. He referred to the Paris terror attack, saying that it concerns us all because it targeted freedom of speech and democracy. “We should not give in to the racism voices that are heard in Europe aiming to promote the extreme right agenda.” Tsipras said that Samaras invests in fear and black propaganda, and he is the only one that speaks of a Grexit, given that the foreign media and the European institutional entities have “buried” the issue and noted that “after the recent developments, Grexit has finished and the only thing left is the Samaras-exit.” He expressed his certainty that the Greek people with give the parliamentary majority to SYRIZA and called the Prime Minister to abandon scaremongering and accept to take part in a TV debate with him. Finally, SYRIZA’s six priorities are, according to Tsipras, free electricity to households that are unable pay their bills, food allowance to 300,000 people, free healthcare, Christmas bonus to low income pensioners, free transport card for the poor and abolition of the tax equalization on heating oil and diesel. Moreover, he clarified that “we do not want the governance in order to take the summer palace. We will never forget where we started from and this is something you should always keep in mind.” (source: ana-mpa)
