Sofia Voultepsi has warned of Alexis Tsipras’s political plans against the backdrop of the next elections.
The New Democracy MP Sofia Voultepsi referred to the roots of Greek-Turkish relations and the scenarios of the next election, criticising harshly both the historical path of PASOK and Alexis Tsipras.
The Voultepsi stressed that the country’s foreign policy is still influenced by past bilateral and European decisions, which Angara uses as diplomatic stepping stones. “What is happening on national issues is the result of the Madrid and Helsinki agreements – under Simitis, Papandreou – which the Turks invoke to this day. They say ‘excuse me, we agreed these things in 1997 and 1999’,” she noted.
Turning to the domestic political field and the importance of government stability, the MP expressed strong concern about the attitude of the opposition parties, highlighting the different priorities set by the New Democracy compared to its opponents. As she noted, “I am interested in having a government the day after the elections. What is going on with what PASOK has done?“.
Closing her statement, Sofia Voultepsi turned her arrows to Alexis Tsipras, who, after recent polls that put him in second place, seems to be investing in lacking self-reliance in order to claim a role as a regulator. “Tsipras has come in second, who is interested in the exact opposite. There is no self-reliance of ND and he wants ND to be unable to form a government, so that he can say “it’s me, I’ve come second”, to form a minority government with tolerance“.
