“Mr Mitsotakis’ successive failures make a new national compass and a return to a multi-dimensional foreign policy imperative,” Alexis Tsipras says, noting that as prime minister he left solutions already set in motion on major issues.
In a post, he says:
“When even New Democracy MPs are one after another acknowledging the resounding failure of his foreign policy, Mr Mitsotakis cannot keep looking the other way.
I handed him a country with EastMed in the works, with the electricity interconnector with Cyprus moving ahead, and with Greece playing a leading role in developments across our wider region.
He will hand over a Turkey-Libya memorandum, with Turkish warships violating our sovereign rights just a few miles off Kasos.
The strategy of being a taken-for-granted ally is leading to successive national defeats and concessions. The country urgently needs a new national compass and a return to a multi-dimensional foreign policy.
And Mr Mitsotakis is not in a position to deliver that.”
