Kasselakis: SYRIZA believes that digital transition should be human-centred

Main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Stefanos Kasselakis addressing the Digital Economy Forum organised by the the Federation of Hellenic ICT Enterprises (SEPE) on Monday called it "a very important sector of the economy that is going to play an even more significant role in the Greek economy".

"The policies that are behind the use of technology are those that will determine its impact," he noted adding that "SYRIZA believes that the digital transition may and should be human-centred for the benefit of the society, the sustainable growth, the improvement of the quality of life and of the labour".

He lashed out at the "inefficiency in absorbing funds" and the "lack of fair distribution as there is clear bias in the favour of the major and strong groups" explaining that "all these reveal the real neoliberal face of New Democracy's (ND) government".

Kasselakis presented his party's main axes for a "fair digital transition as pillar of productive reconstruction of the country".
