“The narrative of calm waters is crumbling like a house of cards,” said PASOK MEP Nikolas Farantouris from Strasbourg, following yesterday’s remarks by Nikos Dendias regarding calm waters.
As Nikolas Farantouris notes in a social media post, “just days before the Turkish National Assembly adopted a law attempting to institutionalize the partition of the Aegean and the unilateral alteration of borders, the Minister of Defense reveals that he never believed in the logic of calm waters. In which, however, the country’s Prime Minister had invested for over two years, in vain and recklessly.”
“It is becoming clear that the government has neither a narrative nor a strategy for national issues,” notes the PASOK MEP, concluding by emphasizing the immediate need for political change through elections:
“Elections must be called here and now, and we must go to the polls.”
It should be recalled that theMinister of National Defense, speaking Wednesday afternoon at the Circle of Ideas, stated: “I am not among those who have believed the narrative of calm waters.” These statements contrast with those of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who “he seeks calm waters, ” both in the context of the Athens Declaration in December 2023 and in light of his latest meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
