Alexis Tsipras said he visited a livestock unit where the owner had been forced to cull about 600 sheep 13 months ago. He conveyed that the farmer struggled to return to the barn after the culling and was still not well. Tsipras argued that the handling of zoonoses in Greece was based on mass culling instead of vaccination, resulting, as he stated, in a significant decrease in animal production. He attributed this choice to the government's effort to avoid disclosing problems at OPEKEPE. He claimed that vaccination would lead the relevant EU committees to require a record of livestock, which, according to him, would show that more than half of the subsidies were fictitious and were received by officials affiliated with New Democracy who did not produce. He added that the reconstitution of herds should begin immediately and be fully covered by European resources, according to European rules. He described the situation of the farmers as a cry of anguish, emphasizing that both their survival and their ability to remain in production were at stake. He accused the government of choosing a clientelist network over production and called for a struggle to end what he called a mockery and for farmers to receive what they were entitled to so they could continue to live in their place. #κτηνοτροφία #αγροτικέςπολιτικές #ζωικήπαραγωγή (translated)

Alexis Tsipras mentioned that he met with young people in Volos, at their invitation, and listened to their concerns about the lack of prospects and hope. According to what they told him, many students were working alongside their studies to cover rent and food, while the adverse conditions in student housing led some to delay or abandon their studies. He conveyed that young agronomists were struggling to cover their expenses, as rents and supermarket prices were high, and he referred to a PhD student in aerodynamics who was, he said, working in a flooded laboratory without facilities. Tsipras argued that Greece had become hostile to young people and that opportunities for education, work, and professional development depended either on financial support from parents or connections to the "blue machine." He linked the anger of young people in France to the loss of hope and social inequalities, clarifying that violence was not a solution, but reaction and claims were legitimate. He referred to students who, he said, paid 500 or 600 euros for a room, ate pasta six days a week, and could not attend the university they were admitted to. He added that the lack of student housing and meals exacerbated their situation and argued that social tension could be addressed with conditions of justice. He criticized the government policy regarding the Golden Visa and housing, as well as the decision not to include a housing program in the Recovery Fund, saying that the money was given to "insiders." He proposed as an alternative the strengthening of the social majority and the public sector, with young people having, he said, a crucial role. #Νεολαία #Δικαιοσύνη #ΦοιτητικάΔικαιώματα (translated)

Alexis Tsipras wrote that he walked through the streets of Volos, where he stopped to meet citizens. In the pedestrian street of Chatzigiannaki, amidst traditional tsipouradika, he mentioned that he heard complaints about the cost of living, as well as discussions about the price of tsipouro and Niki Volou. According to him, citizens were tired of big statements and unfulfilled promises and were asking for a realistic alternative plan that would improve their lives and give prospects to their children. He added that at Kavouras tsipouradiko, he noticed a strong demand for both political change and a change in policy. Tsipras mentioned that a citizen told him that his absence had made it difficult for those trying to bring about change. He stated that this was the reason for his return and that EL.AS. was created to serve as a counterbalance to the Right and to Kyriakos Mitsotakis' New Democracy, filling a gap that, he argued, made the Prime Minister seem unshakeable. He added that the visit ended with wishes for success. #Βόλος #πολιτική #τσιπουράδικο (translated)

Alexis Tsipras said that he was the first to reinstate the 13th pension, trying to restore the cuts that, as he stated, had been decided in 2012 by the coalition governments under Loukas Papademos and Antonis Samaras, with the participation of New Democracy and PASOK. He clarified that he did not fully reinstate it, but allocated 1 billion and covered part of it. He noted that at that time the cost was less than 2.5 billion and that it had now risen to that amount. He mentioned that he faced heavy criticism when he reinstated the provision and that Kyriakos Mitsotakis abolished it, resulting in, according to him, retirees losing 7 billion. Tsipras said that he would not promise that "there is money," but would refer to the real possibilities provided by the fiscal margin. He argued that if his plan for taxing great wealth and the "patriotic contribution" were implemented and an additional 2 billion were secured, the 13th pension could be reinstated. He added that the goal would also be to support the most vulnerable and invoked his previous stance. #13ηΣύνταξη #ΚοινωνικήΔικαιοσύνη #Οικονομία (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that the first stop of his tour in Thessaly was Volos, where he met with citizens on the street and in cafes, instead of in controlled discussion spaces. In a conversation with professionals in the catering industry, he mentioned that he heard the criticism that Kyriakos Mitsotakis was currently benefiting from the 37 billion euros that, as they claimed, had been left to the government. He also relayed the plea of a professional who acknowledged the regulation of 120 installments but requested that businesses be allowed to operate and have a permanent, easy repayment solution for debts that, as he said, arose from social and economic conditions. Tsipras argued that catering businesses were seeing their turnover decrease due to VAT and electricity bills. He added that when citizens spent 40% of their income on rent, they limited their spending on entertainment and coffee, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the sector's turnover. According to him, the government did not take into account either Greek consumers or healthy Greek entrepreneurship when it spoke of development. He called for support for entrepreneurship and argued that for there to be prospects, hope, and stability, the Mitsotakis government needed to come to an end. #Βόλος #Εστίαση #Επιχειρηματικότητα (translated)

Whatever money we received, we put it into the public funds; we didn't turn it into kickbacks. Alexis Tsipras argued that the country needs a different political direction, with key axes being social justice, productive reconstruction, and decentralization. #Τσίπρας #Μητσοτάκης #πολιτική (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that he respected the parties of the progressive opposition, including PASOK, the KKE, and SYRIZA. He mentioned that he had resigned as a member of parliament more than a year ago and that he had not utilized parliamentary privileges, state compensations, or party assets for his political plans. Tsipras said he believed in the programmatic agreement and joint action of progressive forces, although the parties would remain competitive. He added that, as an elected prime minister twice with percentages of 35-36%, he had taken the risk of simple proportional representation, which, he said, had costs, but he did not regret it. Referring to the leadership of PASOK, he estimated that its choice to regard ELAS and him as main opponents concealed a fear of forming a progressive alternative government centered around the Greek Left Coalition. He further claimed that some in the opposition preferred Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the right over such a government, and for that reason, they opted, according to him, for a strategy of tension and constant attacks. #ΠροοδευτικήΑντιπολίτευση #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα (translated)

I will not do the favor to Mr. Mitsotakis, instead of dealing with him, to deal with the continuous attacks of Mr. Androulakis. Tsipras reminded that Androulakis, when asked at the Thessaloniki International Fair with whom he would govern if PASOK did not come first, replied that it would be up to the Greek people to decide. #Τσίπρας #ΠαΣοΚ #ΝέαΔημοκρατία (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that the Greek Left Coalition (EL.AS.) was created within society and not in Parliament or behind closed party doors. He said that the effort continued with its own forces, without state funding and with meetings all over Greece. He claimed that the creation of EL.AS. overturned plans and that the need for its establishment was becoming increasingly apparent. He described the rising costs as an "invisible memorandum" that, he said, burdened expenses on fuel, food, and living, primarily affecting those who were not favored. He added that the government's narrative about stability and a third term was not convincing. Tsipras said that EL.AS. was facing attacks, which it would meet calmly, and that its goal was to address the problems of Greek society and propose alternative solutions. He characterized the government as its only opponent, accusing it of creating the problems. Referring to the meeting of the Political Committee, he said the message was for EL.AS. to continue with its own political identity and clear program, aiming for a progressive government with itself as a core. He called for the creation of a winning current and stated that the effort would focus on combating corruption, inequalities, rising costs, and uncertainty. #ΕΛΑΣ #Αριστερά #Πολιτική (translated)

"I will not do Mr. Mitsotakis the favor of dealing with him, instead of engaging with the continuous attacks of Mr. Androulakis," claimed Alexis Tsipras, adding that "we were born to be the opponent and the alternative pole against the ND in our political system. We have filled this gap. We have not cooperated with ND in government." #ΕΛΑΣ #ΠαΣοΚ #Τσίπρας (translated)

Alexis Tsipras bid farewell with sadness to George Vardinogiannis, stating that he left an indelible mark in entrepreneurship, shipping, and mainly in Greek football. He mentioned that he led his beloved team to 6 championships, 9 cups, 3 Super Cups, and 2 European Champions semi-finals, while he described him as an authentic Panathinaikos. #Ποδόσφαιρο #Επιχειρηματικότητα #Θλίψη (translated)

The narrative of the 3rd term is not walking. In purely political terms, Mr. Tsipras stated that "the narrative of the 3rd term is not walking," adding that the same applies to the narrative of stability, "facing an unpredictable winter ahead." #Τσίπρας #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Πολιτική (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that in Spili he met producers, whom he described as honest people working with dignity. In contrast, he accused those he referred to in derogatory terms of being in a café in Kolonaki, stealing subsidies instead of engaging in production. He argued that corruption and profiteering had reached unbearable levels and that cartels dominated all sectors. He said that the message from Spili was that a collective battle would be fought against corruption, moral degradation, and the economic impoverishment of the majority. He added that he had returned to stand against injustice and inequality, as he said the place deserved better. #Διαφθορά #Αδικία #ΚοινωνικήΔικαιοσύνη (translated)

Alexis Tsipras mentioned that he met with parents who lost their children in traffic accidents at the VOAK and said that 23 people had been killed at the same spot. He described Crete as "the most blood-stained island in Europe." He wrote that the works on the road had stopped for months and that, just outside of Heraklion, only the bollards remained to remind people. He added that the airport was almost shut down for charter flights, with many delays, while the VOAK was causing distress to residents and visitors and, as he said, was becoming dangerous and costing human lives. #ΒΟΑΚ #τροχαία #Κρήτη (translated)

Alexis Tsipras stated that rents had increased by 70% and that the cost of living had risen by 70%, 80%, or even 100%, while the average salary had increased by 30%. He argued that the gap between wage increases and the cost of living was felt in the pockets of the average Greek and described the inflation burdening households as an "invisible memorandum." #Ακρίβεια #Οικονομία #Μισθοί (translated)

So, we say with great clarity, and that's why you see me not responding to provocations, not attacking others, the progressive forces, the political forces that belong to the progressive space. Referring to his strategy and the political context, Alexis Tsipras noted that he does not respond to provocations nor attacks the political forces that belong to the progressive space, as two basic conditions are required for a progressive government to exist. #Τσίπρας #πολιτική #προοδευτικόςχώρος (translated)

Alexis Tsipras mentioned that he arrived in Crete, where he was supposed to meet producers who had been affected by the recent floods. He said he would meet real farmers and ranchers, hardworking people of production, and asserted that they needed the support of a state that had turned its back on them. https://t.co/s4EZtUq4Ra #Κρήτη #ΑγροτικήΑνάπτυξη #ΣτήριξηΠαραγωγών (translated)
