(Washington Insider Magazine) – Former PASOK President Evangelos Venizelos in the online newspaper “Macedonia” was interviewed.
The Vice President of the Samaras government also referred to the issue of Eve Kaili. Answering a question whether Qatargate will affect PASOK -KINAL’s electoral performance, Mr Venizelos noted that “unfortunately a demographic impact is already being recorded. But in these issues, responsibility, legal and moral, is personal and not a fellowship or national. “
Post Elections
Then, speaking about the post -election collaborations and the position of PASOK within them, Mr Venizelos emphasized that the party “apparently has a sense of national and institutional responsibility that paid dearly and will not let the place be ruled”. He also noted that the issue of government partnerships would have to “push” the two largest parties first and after PASOK.
The Prime Minister Rejects Government Cooperation
He further emphasized that the prime minister rejects government cooperation, having announced double elections and arguing in favor of his autonomous, one -party government. On the other hand, he explains, that Mr Tsipras is discussing the possibility of a co -operation government only if SYRIZA is the first party, namely the winner of the elections.
Mr Venizelos also referred to PASOK President Nikos Androulakis, saying that on a personal level the relationships between the two are excellent. “He is particularly gentle and friendly. Politically recognizes and respects my wider role in public affairs. It sets up major issues related to institutions and foreign policy for discussion, “he said. Answering a question about how he evaluates his work so far, he replied laconically that at this stage, he prefers to give him his wish, to achieve the best for the line -up and especially for the homeland.
In the country in general, he sees “a mood of frontal conflict reproduction”, while at the same time observing that “for essential issues the degree of coincidence of the three parties of the systemic spectrum that make up the axis of the party system is strikingly large.”
“It takes greater honesty, generosity and insight in public debate, not only close politics but also social,” he notes.
Finally, speaking about his own political future and if he is thinking of returning to active action, he replied that “the role is not expected,” done “daily. I have referred to the importance of the post -political. To contribute to the functioning of democracy and the rule of law, you need neither approval nor proposal, no office. “
