The intervention of Kostis Hatzidakis<\/b>, at the ND’s NGO, was particularly significant, as he attempted to give an overall political and ideological framework to the debate, setting out, as he said, “three principles that unite us”. <\/p>\n
“Unity<\/b>, without silence. Criticism, without self-promotion<\/b>,” he said, adding that “we have no opponent<\/b> in the hall,” but opposite are accuracy, the international crisis and the insecurity of p<\/b>citizens about the future.<\/p>\n
The deputy prime minister stressed that the New Democracy remains “the link with society” and described the Parliamentary Group as “active and alive”, noting that the role of the parliamentarian<\/b> can indeed be strengthened. He also defended the staff state,<\/b> saying it is a mechanism for better government coordination and questioned whether previous governments operated more effectively<\/b>. “The pressure from the executive state is not on MPs but on ministers<\/b>, they have a reason to complain,” he said.<\/p>\n
Hatzidakis also placed particular emphasis on constitutional revision, describing it as the “2030 agenda<\/b>” and claiming that it is the main field of political initiative of the Southwest, at a time when, as he said, the opposition<\/b> “has been stupidly backed into a corner”.<\/p>\n
Referring to the political system<\/b> and the distrust of part of society towards politics, he noted that the government has reasons to react to the “slander of the political system”<\/b>, without ignoring the need of citizens for a “more modern and functional state”. He admitted that there had been “mistakes and omissions”,<\/b>but insisted that the government’s work was important, citing among other things the reduction of unemployment<\/b> from 18% to 8%<\/b> and the acceleration in the awarding of pensions.<\/p>\n
“These are the things we all need to say, both the MPs and even more so the ministers<\/b>,” he said, concluding with a political message of rallying: “We are New Democracy and keeping New Democracy standing<\/b>, we will keep Greece standing and give a perspective to the country.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
