Konstantinos Kyranakis<\/a><\/b> describes the crisis generation<\/b>and the political narrative of recovery<\/b>, sending a message of optimism and “winner’s psychology”<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In a speech with a strong political and symbolic character<\/b>, Constantine Kyranakis<\/b> presented the narrative of a new era for New Democracy<\/b>, emphasizing the journey of the generation that came of age in the economic crisis<\/b> and today, as he said, sees the country entering a path of stabilization and development<\/b>. The new secretary of the Political Committee<\/b> referred explicitly<\/b> to the difficulties of the memorandum years<\/b>, youth unemployment and the brain drain<\/b> phenomenon, contrasting them with the current picture which, according to him, includes strengthening the economy<\/b>, increasing employment and institutional reforms<\/b>. At the same time, he issued a call for rallying to the party’s cadres and base<\/b>, calling for a “winner’s psychology” and active participation in the political and organizational strengthening of the party<\/b>.<\/p>\n

After his unanimous election to the ND Political Committee<\/b>, Konstantinos Kyranakis<\/b> immediately thanked ND President and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/b> for believing in him and giving him opportunities<\/b>. “And me and many of us who belong to a generation of people<\/b> who wanted to go out in front and fight for our party,” he said<\/b>.<\/p>\n

All together we did it<\/h3>\n

“People to whom you opened the door, but above all you opened your heart to the new generation. You put us on the ballot papers, you gave us a public platform, you gave us the mandate to engage in politics by holding tightly and reverently to the values of New Democracy,” added Konstantinos Kyranakis.<\/p>\n

“We belong to a generation that experienced the entire decade of crisis at the worst time in our lives. To a generation that finished university just as Greece was entering the memoranda. A generation that at that moment realised that its dreams were being lost for good. A generation that when it went abroad, when it talked to its peers from abroad, it received those ugly, deep stereotypes of the crisis decade. A generation that, when called upon to get its first job, saw a wave of very high unemployment rising. A generation that, when it got its first job, saw wages shrink, saw lockouts coming, saw businesses closing one after another,” he said.<\/p>\n

“New Democrats have done it. We all did it together,” he stressed.<\/p>\n

“Today we live in a Greece with a strong economy, which is finally out of any kind of surveillance and with a Greek finance minister at the helm of the Eurogroup. We live in a Greece with military superiority on land, air and sea. We live in a Greece that has brought back its children, the brain drain generation. But we live in a Greece that created an additional 560,000 jobs for its children who stayed here. We live in a Greece with universities finally free from occupation, the greatest ideological victory of the GDR and ONNED. A Greece that upgraded, renovated, staffed its hospitals and continues to do so every week. A Greece that digitized the state and the services that plagued the citizen, thus striking down corruption.<\/p>\n

A Greece that protected its borders on land and sea in a liberated manner. We live in a Greece that exudes optimism. A Greece that may be small on land, but big at sea.<\/p>\n

A Greece of the so-called five seas, a global maritime power that every year grows its fleet and is respected in every port of the world. We live in a Greece that produces again, that manufactures, that revitalizes industry, that rewards those who invest, export and produce in the real economy. A Greece that has finally left the crisis behind, stood up and stands proudly with a Prime Minister, the leader of New Democracy, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at the helm of these great and justified national and patriotic choices,” he said.<\/p>\n

Have the psychology of a winner<\/h3>\n

Concluding his speech, the new secretary of the Political Committee Konstantinos Kyranakis asked everyone to have the psychology of a winner. “Have a winner’s psychology and eliminate any trace of defeatism from within ourselves. This optimism must be omnipresent. It must be in the hands we shake. It should be in the looks we exchange. It should be in the houses we enter. It should be in the tone of our voices. When we, our organizations, our offices, our party volunteers, pick up the phone to speak to the people we want to trust us again. To be on the ballot papers, Mr. Speaker, which must be filled, as you said, with new blood, with new cadres who will be politicking for the first time.”<\/p>\n

“We are going to believe in our strength, believe in the strength of our grassroots and leave this room today with a handbill and the most important mission that the Prime Minister has given us today.<\/p>\n

Our mission is simple. To sweat the jersey of the party and to convey this optimism to every member, every friend and supporter of New Democracy,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
