SYRIZA-PA will come first in the first round of elections, Svigou says
Main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance Central Committee Secretary Rania Svigou said she was confident that SYRIZA will get the largest share of the vote from the first round of the general elections, in an interview with Real News published on Sunday.
Regarding the motion of censure against the government the previous week, she said it had been a "necessary move to protect democracy and the institutions" and had given voters a chance to "hear the evasions, the tragicomic arguments clung to by a guilty Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a politically isolated and tottering prime minister with just days to remain in power."
She accused ruling New Democracy MPs of responding by "slinging mud" and thus "confirming the prime minister's guilt", while promising that SYRIZA-PA will launch a parliamentary inquiry when it comes to power to shed light on wire tappings.
Svigou also repeated the party's proposals for tackling the high cost of living, such as reducing VAT and special taxes.
