Antonis Samaras picks up the glove after the announcement of his suspension. As he states in his statement “arrogance and an obvious lack of composure explain Mitsotakis’ move. Cut off from the base, he leads a party that looks a bit like New Democracy».
He asks to be told where he is wrong and wonders “in Greek-Turkish, where just yesterday the responsible general director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs resigned? In the difficulty of the citizens to cope with the accuracy? In the woke agenda, which while he himself brought it to Greece, after Trump’s election he suddenly talks about the tyranny of the minority? Maybe at Novartis? Or maybe because I nominated Costas Karamanlis for President of the Republic?».
He concludes by stating that “I sacrificed everything for the country, even my health. But no one can force me to sacrifice my conscience. The judge of all of us will be the people and history».
The entire statement of Antonis Samaras
Arrogance and an obvious lack of composure explain Mitsotakis’ move. Cut off from the base, he leads a party that looks a bit like New Democracy. I spoke, I spoke and I will speak only about the things that concern Greece.
So let us know where I am wrong. In Greek-Turkish, where just yesterday the responsible director general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs resigned? In the difficulty of the citizens to cope with the accuracy? In the woke agenda, which while he himself brought it to Greece, after Trump’s election he suddenly talks about the tyranny of the minority? Maybe at Novartis? Or maybe because I nominated Costas Karamanlis for President of the Republic?
I sacrificed everything for the country, even my health. But no one can force me to sacrifice my conscience. The judge of all of us will be the people and history.

Antonis, you brought up the issue of Greek-Turkish relations and the resignation of the responsible director general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Do you believe that Kyriakos’ handling of these relations has been inadequate? If so, how should he be addressing these matters?
Kyriakos, in your opinion, what is the woke agenda and why did you bring it up in Greece? Many people are concerned about the potential impact of this agenda on their lives, especially in the current economic climate. How do you plan on addressing these concerns?

Some see it as a positive step while others believe it was not the right choice. Can you explain your rationale behind this decision and why you believe it was in the best interests of the country?
Both of you have made significant contributions to Greek politics. What do you believe is the future of New Democracy Party and how can you ensure that it remains relevant and effective in addressing the needs of the Greek people?
