New Democracy's Papamimikos on universities and presidential election
The University of Athens rectorship and the rector Theodoros Fortsakis "should have already implemented the law,” the secretary of New Democracy’s Central Committee Andreas Papamimikos told Athens 9.84 FM on Tuesday.
“Namely, when someone obstructs the operation of the university, the police should go in and arrest those who obstruct the university’s operation,” he noted.
“I do wonder,” he said. “At SYRIZA offices, don’t they have any security checks, any door people or police officers? Anyone who wants to get in may as well do so? Because my idea of this is that those who enter SYRIZA offices are also checked.”
As far the election of the President of the Republic is concerned, he said that “New Democracy President and Prime Minister Antonis Samaras in the vote of confidence debate has addressed a clear call to SYRIZA. Let SYRIZA sit at the same table so we can find a new President together. We are still here…You don’t send out invitations many times; you only send them once. The Prime Minister has sent it from the Parliament and said, let SYRIZA come so we can discuss the President’s election; now it’s up to them to make up their minds.”
