“I feel the need today not to talk about what we do in the department, what we work to put into practice, day and night, in the Department of Transport. I feel a need coming out of me to talk about the simple NWD. For the ordinary party member who has dedicated and identified his life with the party,” the Deputy Minister of Transport, Konstantinos Kyranakis.
Addressing, he said, those who this year made their choice to join the ND family, to join the DAP-NDFK stressed that “we must all fight and justify this choice“.
He also wanted to talk about the simple UNNEDite who-when a few years have passed and he finished school and had to go out into society to be able to convince groups of people who despise politics and parties and believe in a world without ideologies, in a world without political ideas, he insists on being an UNNEDite. “He insists on expressing himself with a political identity that is pure and clear. And he makes the decision, whether in self-government or in the central political scene, at some point to take the bravest step: to seek a cross.”
He spoke of the “real fighters” of the party having in mind, as he pointed out, workers in every sector, police, members of the armed forces, port officials, freelancers who each in their own circle feel fingered. “Why? Because he dares to express a political opinion… Because having been labelled as partisan he feels he has missed opportunities. He has felt an injustice, a bitterness, he has felt that everyone else, the unpolitical, the neutral, the indifferent are moving forward and he is being left behind”.
“So I want to make this man a common promise: that each and every one of us New Democrats will always support each other. To show in practice what the family of the New Democracy means,” Kyranakis said.
