Androulakis: PASOK-KINAL is New Democracy's 'true and genuine opponent'

Greek voters endorsed the revival of PASOK and the democratic movement, PASOK-Movement for Change (KINAL) leader Nikos Androulakis said on Sunday, following the election results that showed his party gaining in seats.

The socialist party leader also criticized Prime Minister and New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis for "an executive state that covered up a deep state of wiretapping and extensive corruption." Androulakis also blamed SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras for New Democracy's sweeping victory instead of "ND paying for all this at the ballot box."

Androulakis underlined that "the Greek people highlighted a huge need for a strong progressive power in Greece that will embrace the real concerns of citizens, that will proceed ahead with progress, responsibility and reliability." The voters who cast their ballot for PASOK-KINAL must not be disappointed, he said, and termed Sunday's result as "the first great step to put an end to divisiveness and toxicity."

Androulakis called on voters to strengthen PASOK-KINAL, "New Democracy's true and genuine opponent."
