Tsipras: ‘The crucial thing…is to talk about the real problems of Greek society’

Athens.- Visiting the city of Corinth on Wednesday, main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Alexis Tsipras invited people to “talk about the real problems of Greek society” ahead of the general elections on May 21 and pay comparatively less attention to the media.
“The crucial thing for our lives is what policies will govern the country,” Tsipras said in an open address after visiting the Corinth market and talking to shop keepers and consumers. He called on them to instead pay attention to their daily interactions with ordinary people on the street, about town and in their places of work.
“Four years now, what has dominated our lives is injustice. It is time to say ‘enough’,” he said, talking of a “deception of the middle class, pensioners and wage earners” and saying it was time for the “forces of honesty to come to the fore, with a plan that will give the country a respite and progress.”
“The crucial thing up until the elections on the 21st of May is to talk about the real problems that Greek society has. This is our goal, to talk about the problems,” he said, listing these as a decline of incomes, labour relations, lack of hope for young people and insecurity “in the face of a hostile state, the dismantling of the national health system, the fear of the ‘crows’ and funds lying in wait for primary residences, business properties and agricultural land.”
