Just watched @PrimeministerGR interview with @NYTimesCohen. Some remarks: 1⃣@kmitsotakis is a mission-driven CEO -I'd love to work with him-, funny, well-spoken but has no idea of politics that benefit, us, the real everyday folks. He understands politics in his very own way.
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis 2⃣He is a big believer in Democracy but he confuses democracy with capitalism. And in this misconception is exactly where the spine of his neo-liberal agenda lays.
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis 3⃣@kmitsotakis criticized publically @EmmanuelMacron on #AthensDemocracyForum for imposing a luxury tax on the rich French because "it's a political tax", while he boasted for horizontal taxation that's coming in #Greece. You see why we can't achieve 4% growth rates, right?
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron 4⃣He focuses A LOT on real-estate as a field for investment and economic development while we all know that the real estate business in #Greece is a monkey business and creates a massive social problem around housing.
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron 5⃣He says that "Greece is back" and makes it sound like @neademokratia achieved it, but they are only three months in power. The Greek people paid the expensive price so we can now ask for money with negative interest rates, it's a collective achievement, not a @kmitsotakis one.
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron @neademokratia 6⃣"If you try to spin a fake reality people will see it immediately because of social media" @kmitsotakis said at #AthensDemocracyForum. Reminder: the vast majority of Greek media are more than cordial to him.
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron @neademokratia 7⃣He said that due to the lack of a strong Green party in #Greece the center-right is trying to take over the "environmentally aware" space, and @neademokratia doesn't use print posters for their campaigns anymore.
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron @neademokratia 8⃣@kmitsotakis welcomes Chinese investment in #Greece and "he consulted with the local communities in Piraeus for the next Cosco investment -they are not ready to approve this."
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron @neademokratia 9⃣"Greece is an ethnically homogenous society and we have the capacity to integrate refugees." - "you can be humane and also rigid when it comes to migration policies" @kmitsotakis to @NYTimesCohen #refugeesGr
@PrimeministerGR @NYTimesCohen @kmitsotakis @EmmanuelMacron @neademokratia 🔟Last but not least, @kmitsotakis talks about his politics abroad like us Greeks won’t even hear about it. His statements are like a double-faced jack/king card that he pulls out for domestic or foreign use according to the audience.
