PASOK marks 52nd anniversary with call for political change
PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis held a major political gathering in Heraklion, Crete, to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the party's founding on September 3, 1974. The event served as a platform to call for significant political change in Greece.
Androulakis criticized the current New Democracy government under Kyriakos Mitsotakis, citing issues such as the concentration of power, direct awards, and the rising cost of living. He also attacked the opposition party SYRIZA, labeling its economic programs as unreliable. The PASOK leader proposed a platform focused on social housing, the restoration of primary residence protection, and a 13th month salary for public sector employees.
The anniversary also looked back at the historical significance of the party's founding by Andreas Papandreou, which aimed to provide a voice to the marginalized following the fall of the military dictatorship. Androulakis emphasized that the party seeks to move beyond nostalgia to offer a concrete plan for a more transparent and accountable state.
