MeRA25 Secretary Varoufakis visits Chania, opposes privatisation of health, water

The secretary of the opposition party MeRA25, Yanis Varoufakis, on Wednesday visited the city of Chania for a series of meetings focusing on public health and water management, during his tour of the island of Crete. Accompanied by members of the party and parliamentary candidates, Varoufakis visited a hospital in the city, where he expressed the party's support for efforts to preserve the public nature of the national health system, counter to the government's efforts to strengthen the private health sector.

Varoufakis' next stop was the city's water and sewage company, where he spoke with workers and accused the government of attempting to privatise water, which he stressed both is and must remain a public good.
