Tzanakopoulos: Sunday will show whether voters choose to defend the gains of recent years

“It considers that labour must be crushed, that social spending must be cut, that the social state must be demolished because, in their opinion, that is a way for the country to boost growth rates. It is an old, neoliberal idea that was supported Thatcher, Reagan, the US Republicans and they want to take the country back to the years when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) decided the policy priorities,” Tzanakopoulos said.

He also accused ND of amassing a “communications machinery” that manipulated public discussion, using fake news to create a toxic political climate. He also rejected ND criticism that the government was “overtaxing” voters in order to hand out benefits, noting that it had presided over a fiscal adjustment of 65 billion euros in 2010-2014.

He also noted the the excess surpluses of 2016-2018 were “the result of mistaken estimates made by the institutions concerning the performance of the Greek economy.”

Greece was now in a position to decide its own budget and adopt permanent measures, rather than one-off handouts, he added, “unfolding a strategic plan for redressing injustices and supporting the social majority.”

Sunday would prove whether ND’s “virtual reality” or the actual reality of Greek citizens will prevail, since it would be the Greek people who will make the final decision, he added.
