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)
