The leader of the opposition party, Alexis Tsipras, addressed an open rally in the southeastern city of Ierapetra, on the island of Crete
He stressed that “it is time to put an end to all lies. It is time to take our fortunes in our hands. It is time for us to change the status quo. Let us look at the truth straight in the eyes”.
Speaking on his campaign tour in Crete, Tsipras accused Prime Minister Antonis Samaras “and his buddies” of “representing anomaly, they are pursuing anomaly, they are conveying anomaly, from the heights of institutions to the last Greek home and anomaly in parliamentary procedures” and spoke of “prolonged anomaly”.
He also mentioned that Crete will bring the great change and said to “open doors and windows to the sun of a new Greece”.
Mr. Tsipras concluded by saying “we have great courage - we shall not fold before any powerful person, local or foreign. We have great possibilities - experience, knowledge, maturity, a sense of responsibility. We have self-knowledge - we know and we proclaim that we are not saviours and that without the active participation and intervention of the people, no change can take place”.
Responding to the speech and SYRIZA's accusations, government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou said that “political anomaly is expressed by him who attempts to undermine stability in his country, a country that is recovering, and he is delirious because he is not succeeding”.
