Interview of Fofis Genma, President of the Movement for Change, in the newspaper ELEFTHEROS PRESS and journalist Yannis Kambourakis1) Madam President, you maintain high tones of your criticism against the government in the sensitive area of national issues and especially of Greek-Turkish relations.

What would you who do not do at this juncture? That is what the circumstances and patriotic tradition of our faction require. Immediate convening of the Council of Political Leaders for the establishment of a national line with clear red lines and on this basis the development of timely and targeted initiatives building on the country's alliances. With plan, composure and determination. This is what new geopolitical data in the region and Turkey's aggressive actions systematically implement ing a holistic revisionist strategy for changing the status quo in the Eastern Mediterranean are imposing. Unfortunately the Government continues to underestimate the problem, it follows awkwardly behind the developments that are running, predictably stating given.2) In the refugee/migration, what do you propose differently? Do you want to explain why you did not support the provision on control of NGOs in parliament? We're in a state of emergency. Greece – and especially our islands – are suffocating from the increased refugee/migration flows. Tens of thousands of people live in camps in inhumane conditions, while local communities are ready to explode. The migrant population in some cases is equal to or even exceeds the local population, which is the border guard of Europe. The crisis is also exacerbated by the Government allum. The humanitarian problem is widening, the far right lurks. We have tabled a package of concrete proposals: with an essential role for Frontex through the brave strengthening of its operational mandate and the means provided to it for effective border guarding. With the distribution of asylum seekers in all the countries of Europe and with a system of sanctions to those who do not comply. By changing the EU-Turkey joint declaration to stop Erdogan blackmailing and decompressing our islands. With a radical revision of the Dublin Treaty .At every opportunity we raise our voices to all European Fora. In all the pre-sessions of the European Socialists, as we did the day before in Brussels we mobilise our own political family to support our proposals. The government remains speechless in Europe and rough and authoritarian within the country. He accepted and faithfully implemented the commitments made by Mr Tsipras and traps the country by agreeing to manage this major European issue as an internal problem. With constant sewing - scraping, plans on paper that change per week and far-right crowns. But every regression of the government lights up a green light on the opposite side. As far as NGOs are concerned, a communication move by the Government, with a provision that predated and is ineffective with the bureaucracy it adds.3) In the insurance policy, the government argues that with the regulation tabled in parliament, it ensures stability by 2070. There are the budgetary margins? Instead, she made makeup on him and we now have the Katrougalos-Vroutsi Law. It is the government that propagandizes a fiscal paradox by claiming that it reduces contributions, increases pensions and as a magical guarantee ensures sustainable insurance for the next ... 50 years. The Katrougalos-Vroutsis Law not only maintains injustices, but adds more to low incomes. We're not voting for him. We have faced a comprehensive proposal for real reform, taking into account the ageing of the population, solidarity between generations, our development potential and budgetary margins.4) You sent a letter to the Speaker of the House asking for consultation of all parties on the major issue of the protection of first residence. Many wrote that you did so to avoid pressure from SYRIZA to jointly submit a proposal for a law. Syriza was going to the cutting edge, that this issue is not suitable for micro-party exploitation? This is a huge social issue that goes beyond the watertightness of party controversies
