Progressive citizens should join forces, concerns, and hopes to vote for PASOK-Movement for Change (KINAL) party leader Nikos Androulakis said on Wednesday, at the party's main pre-election address at Thissio in Athens.

Androulakis promised that he and PASOK would not let down anyone in the new future and he called on voters to avoid abstaining from voting and on those who were undecided to vote for PASOK.

Voters should take a stance, he said, "against a government that continues unrepentant the old, outdated clientelistic practices that led the country to economic hardship and now remove it steadily from the standard of living and the rule of law of developed countries of Europe." 

Androulakis also criticized ruling New Democracy for its motto "Steadily closer to Europe", claiming that Greece diverges from all European prosperity indexes, from a consumer's buying power to health, wages, and justice at courts.

He also accused the government of PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis for low wages and high prices, "due, among other things, to the fact that the government has transferred the entirety of non-competitive services to the final consumers, without any burden on those who benefit, that is, the large suppliers."
