Criticism directed at SYRIZA and the Paul Polakis was launched by the Minister of Development Adonis Georgiadis, speaking on the show «Ora Ellados» on OPEN TV. The κ. Georgiadis noted that Mr. Polakis «has declared himself the de facto leader of the anti-vaccination movement,» while arguing that In Greece, «the leading representatives of the anti-vaccine movement are on the left.».
Ο κ. Georgiadis he emphasized that there is no information gap around the vaccines. He also mentioned that he has been receiving threats. «They send me insults, comments, and curses. I want to tell our unvaccinated fellow citizens: let them curse me, but let them get vaccinated. Because we are at a very critical juncture. The countries of the Northern Europe, the countries of West, », have achieved extremely high vaccination rates among people over the age of 18. This means that these countries will not experience a pandemic," he said.
«Just as Greece is divided between East and West, so too is it divided over the vaccine.»
He pointed out that the Israel on Tuesday vaccine dose, brought the number of cases down and avoided the new lockdown. «Which countries will be left unprotected? The Greece since its founding in the middle of the West and the East. There has been a division within the nation since its founding. (…) The West is ahead in terms of vaccinations; it is ahead, and the Eastern Europe has fallen behind, as have Bulgaria and Croatia. Greece, divided as it is in every respect, is divided in every respect. We are caught between the West and the East, and once again in our history we must decide collectively. Whether we want to move forward with rationality, with Europe, with science, or to fall behind. The unvaccinated fellow citizens They have us—and our fate—in their hands. (…) At a certain point, this discussion about the vaccine becomes pointless. We have more than 30 dead »In recent days, these people have not been vaccinated," the minister said.
«Mr. Polakis has declared himself the de facto leader of the anti-vaccination movement.»
In response to his critics' criticism SYRIZA that quite a few of its members of parliament New Democracy Since they have not been vaccinated, the Minister of Development turned his criticism toward the official opposition party in light of its recent statements Paul Polakis regarding the vaccines, accusing the former deputy health minister of having «declared himself the de facto head of the anti-vaccination movement in our country».
«To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a single New Democracy MP who hasn’t been vaccinated. As for Mr. Polakis, it’s impossible for SYRIZA to pretend it doesn’t see what’s going on. The Mr. Polakis has declared himself the de facto leader of anti-vaccination movement along with the Kyriakos Velopoulos. And here there is a very interesting political aspect. If you look at all the public opinion polls worldwide, the anti-vaccination movement in the U.S., England, and Germany, account for 80–90% of the far-right. In Greece, we are witnessing an unprecedented phenomenon. The main representatives of the Anti-vaxxers are on the left. It is the Polakis, », is SYRIZA. SYRIZA cannot, at this critical moment, pretend that it is unaware of what Mr. Polakis is saying or doing," the minister said pointedly.
