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)

Στους 16-25 πήρε πάνω από 40% η Τουρκάλα σοσιαλίστρια στο Βερολίνο που θα αντιμετωπίσει το πρόβλημα της στέγης με... επιβολή πλαφόν στα ενοίκια! Είναι έγκλημα να ψηφίζουν τα απολιτίκ νιάνιαρα και οι επαναστάτες της πορδής με τα λεφτά του μπαμπά, που δεν ξέρουν την τύφλα τους και ενθουσιάζονται με παπάτζες απατεώνων και χαμόγελα ηλίθιων. Δηλαδή το 16χρονο δεν θεωρείται ώριμο να οδηγήσει αυτοκίνητο, αλλά θεωρείται ώριμο να οδηγήσει με την ψήφο του μια χώρα στην καταστροφή... #πολιτική #νεολαία #στέγη
