The New Democracy spokesperson, Alexandra Sdoukou, while speaking on the radio station Parapolitika 90.1 FM.
Responding to a question about the results of a recent poll, Ms. Sdoukou emphasized that “unlike other parties, which have consistently questioned opinion polls—whether recently or in the past—we trust them and consider them an extremely useful tool,”noting that “what they reveal at this moment is a fragmented opposition, a veritable Tower of Babel, and I am not at all sure that citizens can, at some point, keep track of what is happening,” adding that the government reads and analyzes the polls “but our real work, which we are focusing on, is to constantly win small battles for the country” and “as long as we win these battles, it will be reflected in the polls.”
When asked whether New Democracy prefers Mr. Tsipras as an opponent, the press spokesperson emphasized that“we do not choose opponents and we will not tell citizens who to vote for.” She added, however, that “Mr. Tsipras—no matter how much he pretends otherwise—is not something fresh or new in politics. He has a specific past that can neither be forgotten nor erased. He has governed, and his tenure was marked by decisions that were disastrous for the country, for which he has never offered any meaningful self-criticism.”
Regarding the current political situation and what will determine the outcome of the upcoming elections, Ms. Sdoukou emphasized that “citizens are seeking stability and progress” and will judge based on “whether we have delivered on what we promised.” Listing the government’s positive achievements, Ms. Sdoukou added that “we know not everything has been resolved,” focusing on the issue of inflation, which she said is the government’s top priority that it constantly seeks to address. Finally, regarding the Constitutional Revision, she noted that “we are submitting our proposals for the revision and raising the issues on which the political system as a whole must take a stance,” adding that the message of the proposal is that the Prime Minister wants to make major changes for Greece in 2030, and at the end of the day, citizens will choose—based on a fundamental dilemma—who can lead the country into its next phase.
