Dimitris Kairidis criticized Charis Doukas over the refugee camps, referring to a \u201cpopular front\u201d with disastrous consequences for Athens. <\/p>\n
Fierce criticism of Mayor of Athens Haris Doukas<\/b> was leveled by New Democracy MP Dimitris Kairidis<\/b>, speaking on SKAI\u2019s program \u201cToday\u201d on SKAI, regarding the issue of refugees<\/strong> and the operations of the Municipality of Athens<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Mr. Kairidis<\/strong> argued that Mr. Doukas<\/strong> \u201cpampers and protects the marginalized<\/strong>\u201d through his stance on the issue of refugee camps<\/strong>, while emphasizing that the primary mission of a mayor<\/strong> is \u201cto clean up the city\u201d and not \u201cto engage in political maneuvering.\u201d <\/p>\n At the same time, he referred to the proposal for a \u201cpopular front\u201d<\/strong>, arguing that citizens can see the results of the cooperation between SYRIZA<\/strong> and PASOK<\/strong> in the Municipality of Athens<\/strong> in practice. <\/p>\n \u201cGreek citizens don\u2019t have to look far; they can see the results of the popular front\u2014the cooperation between SYRIZA and PASOK<\/strong>\u2014in the Municipality of Athens. Which, in my opinion, are absolutely disastrous<\/strong>. Look, Greek people, at what they\u2019re proposing to you\u2014see what results it brings,\u201d Dimitris Kairidis<\/strong> stated emphatically. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Kairidis: \u201cDoukas is pandering to and protecting the fringe with this refugee issue. The mayor\u2019s job is to clean up the city, not to engage in political maneuvering. Doukas comes along with a proposal: a \u2018popular front.\u2019 Greek citizens don\u2019t have to look far\u2014they can see the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/OXYt74aTbp<\/p>\n \u2014 tomanifesto.gr (@tomanifesto) June 24, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \n Dimitris Kairidis criticized Haris Doukas over the refugee camps, referring to a \u201cpopular front\u201d with disastrous consequences in Athens.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12605,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
