I get annoyed and angry when I see that the whole media system is directed only against politicians. Could wealthy Greeks who got rich by taking advantage of state power and shamelessly took € 67 billion abroad in eight months have stronger patriotic feeling? Isn’t the ordinary pensioner, who does not oppose the reduction in his income and his consumer power and who bears anything to help the country emerge from the crisis, a patriot? All this annoys me and I think the position of New Democracy in this matter is very clear. It told the truth even when it had to be perceived as "bad" in Europe, and now its position is justified. Moreover, this truth was not only emotional but also realistic, because you cannot carry out any reforms if people are against you. You should convince at least a part of the people that what you do leads to a better future. If you fail to do that, then you have failed in your mission. The PASOK government failed to do so. Consciously or not, it completely swept the interests of the people aside and the way it exercises its policy puts the national interests at risk. We will need to be very careful how we change this policy. We will need to be very careful how we change this policy. I would not like us to be “isolated”, nor to spoil the relations with our partners, but they have to understand that the salvation of Greece cannot pass through the execution of the Greeks.
