The supply of vaccines outside the European Union, while extending the vaccination process to the active population, suggested the Alexis Tsipras, during the debate in Parliament on the agenda. The president of SYRIZA charged the government with an intolerance to criticism, paralleling the declaration of the government's success story by the Prime Minister in the Parliament, with a similar move by Antonis Samaras in the past.
As regards its proposal for the vaccines, explained that «the necessary doses of vaccines must be provided immediately and in all possible ways and a plan must be drawn up for the vaccination of what are internationally known as essential workers».
Therefore, the vaccination to open up for super market workers, courier workers, media workers, teachers, tourism workers.
Ο Alexis Tsipras clarified that the same should apply to vulnerable groups of the population with chronic diseases such as cancer patients, diabetics and cardiac patients. «We should not go by age criteria. It is essential to protect the older age group but there must be provision beyond them directly,» he said, with a plan and priority, not from unused vaccines by exception. At this point, he commented caustically that the local cadres of the South West are being vaccinated in all counties from the unavailable vaccines.
At the same time, the Alexis Tsipras proposed to launch serious epidemiological surveillance and reliable data and called for mass molecular testing under the responsibility of the EODY. For this reason he said that large production units should be inspected on Mondays and Fridays, and the same applies to schools.
The leader of the opposition called the strategy of the Self-Testing in itself a dead end, and said that potentially can be dangerous. At the same time, he called on the government to “stop the shenanigans with private clinics. Rationing means immediate allocation of the necessary facilities in the national effort to save lives, he said, noting that the NHS should finally be strengthened and the successful candidates recruited.
At the beginning of his speech, the Alexis Tsipras observed that citizens have lost confidence in the government and that they are outraged by practices such as «rigged trials, persecution of political opponents, divisive choices, police repression and a barrage of propaganda».
He pointed out that the average citizen demands «that we understand and act in a coordinated and effective manner and put aside existing differences if this is in the interest of society».
Also, the president of the SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance asked what trust the government is talking about at a time when a minimum level of understanding and unity of society is required to save people, while it prefers division and persecution of political opponents. «Dangerously foolishly turning desperation into anger,» he said.
