“Together we are rebuilding SYRIZA” says the party’s presidential candidate, Sokratis Famellos, in his post about the trip he took yesterday in Larissa.
In his pre-election speech in the city of Thessaly, his presidential candidate SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance noted that “it is symbolic that I start with an event in Larissa, both because of the priority in regional development and also because of the major catastrophes in Thessaly”.
Famellos criticized Stefanos Kasselakis without naming him: “His presence is proof that we are changing the page. You give me strength with this… And you give an answer with your presence, that we go with “us” and not with “me””, he said.
He also addressed an appeal “to open the organizations, to have a pre-congress dialogue within the party, within iSYRIZA. We don’t need other pages and other itineraries”, he noted and continued saying: “In the Left we came to build, to create, because we owe nothing more than our values and the legacy of the past, we came to this endeavor to create and build, not to grumble, to destroy, to grumble and to hold a grudge.”
During his visit, the SYRIZA presidential candidate visited the Larissa University General Hospital, where he met with the Board of Directors and doctors, while also talking to patients. Among other things, the huge issue of staff shortages, especially nursing and administrative staff, insufficient spaces in the oncology service, underfunding in relation to the patients it serves, lack of reagents and overcrowding of patients on the patient lists were discussed. surgery.
“The government treats patients, like students, like customers. Applause is for communication purposes only. Public health is a universal right and a strong State must guarantee it”, noted Famellos.
Meeting with the governor of Thessaly, D. Koureta
Subsequently, he held a meeting with the governor of Thessaly, Dimitris Kouretas, where the issues of compensation for victims of natural disasters, repairing damages, protection against floods and the privatization of water resources were discussed.
“It has been more than a year since the Daniel disaster, for which the government bears great responsibility. And despite the great words, compensation has not yet been given, although there is total opacity and injustice in its payment. Major projects undertaken by the government have not been started, while even for the rehabilitation projects undertaken by the Region, less than 1/3 have been launched. And instead of the government assuming its responsibilities, Mr. Mitsotakis is proceeding with the privatization of water, especially irrigation water”, he highlighted.
