PM Tsipras: We will always be against any fascist
"Our government not only was able to complete the historic mission to get the country out of the memoranda, it also proceeded with courage in resolving historic pending issues, because Greece needed and needs huge institutional and political changes" Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said addressing SYRIZA Central Committee on Saturday.
He referred to the revision of the Constitution and the streamlining of the relations between the State and the Church. "We made a first historic step for the agreement. We were aware of the hurdles but we will not retreat, we will proceed to this historic step".
Tsipras also referred to the Prespes Agreement saying that the government is proud for it. "We are determined to conclude it" he said adding that the extreme voices are those that want the Balkans of hatred not the Balkans of co-development and cooperation. "We are and will always be politically, socially and ideologically against any fascist, any extreme-rightist and obscurantist".
He noted that the new generation is a crucial factor in this open battle underlining that is "a very serious issue that our schools are being contaminated by the poison of fascism and of the extreme right. "We will not grant the youth of our country to the vandals of this country's history" said Tsipras and urged all those that took part in schools' sit-ins "motivated by the extreme right to study the history of the country".
He called on the teachers to encourage the students to discuss and learn the history of this country "To see who, in the name of Greece, betrayed Cyprus and understand who today, in the name of Greece, want to sow division and hatred against neighbouring countries".
