It seems that Alexis Tsipras<\/b>, declaring his goal to be \u201cpolitical change and a change in policy.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to\u2014and will do\u2014everything in our power to ensure that the Coalition can bring about political change and a change in policy.<\/b> \u201cThrough collective effort, camaraderie, and dedication, without ever distancing ourselves from the people we seek to represent,\u201d said Alexis Tsipras during the first meeting with the sector heads of ELAS<\/b> today, the anniversary of the announcement of the referendum of 2015.<\/p>\n
It attempted once again to claim the supposedly pure intentions of its project for the future of the country, shifting from the \u201cmoral high ground\u201d of Left of SYRIZA to a \u201cnew ethics of politics\u201d<\/b>, which he characterized as \u201canother example of political participation and action.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former prime minister\u2014the one who, among other things, is also burdened with anti-democratic practices in the internal workings of his former party, SYRIZA<\/b>, not to mention the \u201ckolotoumba\u201d of the referendum\u2014said that \u201cwe want to set, as a political movement but also as individuals, another example of political participation and action.\u201d\u00a0What the new party is seeking is \u201ca new kind of party participation today and exercise of power tomorrow, which will challenge in practice and in the clearest possible way the stereotype that everyone is the same\u201d<\/b>, to build \u201ca different relationship between citizens and politics,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In this vein, he asserted that \u201cbut we want to set, both as a political movement and as individuals, a different example of political participation and action<\/b>. I would call it a new ethics of politics. One that does not bow to the allure of power,\u201d advocating a form of \u201cparty participation today and the exercise of power tomorrow, which will challenge in practice and in the clearest possible way the stereotype that everyone is the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, he appeared as the defender of the people<\/b> \u2014the very people who showed him the door out of the country\u2019s leadership\u2014claiming that he would solve the problems he failed to resolve during his time in government.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people are waiting for answers regarding their children\u2019s schools and education amid the high cost of schooling, regarding hospitals and public health, about their working conditions and wages, about the future of their businesses, and about their security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In what appears to be a distorted interpretation of both reality and the polls, Alexis Tsipras claimed that\u201cMr. Mitsotakis\u2019s political circle has clearly come to an end\u201d<\/b> and called on his associates to be prepared because they will need to \u201cbreak with vested interests and entrenched mindsets,\u201d which will \u201cclash with the desire of a few to maintain their privileges,\u201d when it is evident that economic interests have recently been \u201cpushing\u201d the former prime minister.
