Harsh criticism from Maria Syregela<\/b> directed at opposition<\/b> following announcements by PASOK<\/b> and Greek Left Coalition<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maria Syregela<\/b>, the Member of Parliament for Western Athens representing New Democracy<\/b>, spoke about bounced checks<\/b> and the tactic of outbidding<\/b> employed by the opposition on the television program New Democracy<\/b>.”https:\/\/tomanifesto.gr\/nea-dimokratia”>New Democracy<\/a><\/b>, Maria Syregela<\/b>, on SKAI TV\u2019s \u201cSIMERA\u201d and added that Kyriakos Mitsotakis is constantly visiting regions throughout Greece and is not doing so now as part of an election campaign<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prime minister<\/b>, because I have also served as Secretary of the New Democracy Policy Committee, has never stopped touring the country since \u201923. He is everywhere in Greece, meeting with citizens<\/b>. \u201cThe elections will be held in the spring of \u201927<\/b>,\u201d emphasized the New Democracy MP.<\/p>\n

Regarding the announcements by PASOK and ELAS<\/b>, she stressed that they are: \u201cMost of what the opposition promises are empty checks<\/b>. They\u2019re outbidding each other on who will give the most<\/b>. In the morning, Mr. Androulakis <\/b>and offers free public transportation for young people, and then Mr. Tsipras <\/b>and expands the free transportation to everyone.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

On Public Transportation<\/b> we have the cheapest fare in all of Europe<\/b>, which we lowered from 1.40 euros under the SYRIZA government to 1.20 euros. The monthly pass for unlimited rides is 27 euros. At the same time, new buses<\/b> have been introduced through the Recovery Fund, because I heard that the Recovery Fund went to only a few. The buses, the improvements made at health centers and hospitals, the Green Social Fund with its social housing\u2014did all of that go to the rich? Does the rich person take the bus in the morning and go to work? Or \u201cHouse I\u201d and \u201cHouse II\u201d? Did the rich get houses? <\/p>\n

The opposition\u2019s double-talk proves that things have been done. Otherwise, they would have rejected them outright. <\/b> I was elected in Western Athens, and there\u2014as well as throughout the country\u2014people don\u2019t want the \u201cmoney trees\u201d they were promised, which ultimately led them to the brink of ruin.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
