It&#8217;s <b>really moving<\/b> to see <b>Harilaou Trikoupis living in its own parallel universe<\/b>, where <b>third place in the polls<\/b> (after Tsipras passed them) is dubbed &#8220;<b>majority current<\/b>&#8221; and stability is called &#8220;<b>alasion<\/b>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Mr. <b>Tsoukalas<\/b> accused <b>prime minister <\/b>that he presents himself as a &#8220;Messiah&#8221;, because very simply <b>Kyriakos Mitsotakis described the obvious: that the fourfold stability, cohesion, consistency and continuity<\/b> is the <b>only guarantee<\/b> that Greece will not return to the <b>dark ages of decadence and experimentation<\/b>. <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">It is said that <b>in PASOK they get annoyed when someone talks about a specific government plan and projects,<\/b> as they <b>have run out of proposals<\/b> and all they have left is <b>funny catastrophism<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The <b>New Democracy government<\/b>, instead of &#8220;settling for dealing with yesterday&#8221; as Mr. <b>Tsoukalas<\/b>, <b>is dealing with the big problems<\/b> on a daily basis, supporting the <b>income<\/b> of citizens, bringing <b>investment<\/b> and <b>shocking<\/b> the country internationally.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">For <b>PASOK<\/b> to talk about &#8220;maintaining decadence&#8221; while <b>the country is constantly upgrading and acquiring a leading role in Europe<\/b> is the ultimate <b>monument of political blindness<\/b>. <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Mr. <b>Tsoukalas<\/b> promises &#8220;political change&#8221;, only he forgets something very important. <b>Ask the Greek people if they want to change the government and the prime minister<\/b>. And because, with summer approaching, there&#8217;s no need for unnecessary grief, <b>he&#8217;d better not ask because they probably won&#8217;t like the answer at all.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The completion of the 16th Congress of New Democracy, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis&#8217; speech setting out with absolute realism the dilemmas of the country with &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6013","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\/6013","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=6013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
