The position of the president of the NIKI party, Dimitris Natsios, is "fire and brimstone" against the government, as he spoke about political developments on the show MAGGA, on BankingNews' web television, BN TV.
Some label cowardice as prudence
Without mincing his words, he answers Angie Stathatou, pointing to the document signed by the Mitsotakis government regarding the concession of maritime blocks to the American giant Chevron. He speaks of a "new Prespa of the Aegean," with Greece questioning its own sovereign rights in the blocks it personally tendered—blocks delineated based on the Maniatis Law, taking into account the Median Line: "We are governed by those on their knees," Mr. Natsios states, bringing to mind images such as the bowing of Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis, and adds: "Some label cowardice as prudence, at a time when Turkey constantly lies and wants everything for itself."
Grey Wolves provoke while the government remains silent
Referring to a recent incident in Xanthi, involving a member of the Grey Wolves (Bozkurtlar) provocatively making the sign of the Turkish, ultra-nationalist, far-right organization in the central square, Dimitris Natsios decries the zero reaction from the Greek State. He reminds that "by sacrificing our sovereign rights, we cannot have peace."
No Greece-US alliance exists, only the powerful and the subordinate
Regarding the Greece-US alliance, the president of NIKI clarifies that "there is no alliance, but the powerful and the subordinate." He also refers to Europe’s stance toward Russia and its decision to replace cheap Russian natural gas with expensive American LNG: "Europe committed suicide when it declared war on Russia," he characteristically says.
The Navy should guard the borders
"The borders must close, as Greece cannot handle more migrants, and the Navy should undertake border protection," Mr. Natsios proposes. He reveals that, according to data presented by the Minister of Migration and Asylum, Thanos Plevris, in Parliament, Greece pays 300-400 euros for every minor migrant: "And while they give 300-400 euros a month for every migrant under 17 with a mustache, they give just 28 euros a month for every Greek child," he points out.
Polls are manipulated
Regarding internal politics, Dimitris Natsios speaks of "manipulated polls" that have no relation to the surrounding atmosphere: "It is impossible for ND (New Democracy) to be rising given what is happening," he notes, adding that "PASOK and ND are burdened with scandals" and for this reason, they cannot raise political proposals.
Waiting for the Karystianou party
His stance toward the announced party of Maria Karystianou remains cautious: "I cannot make any proposal for a joint course to Maria Karystianou before I see the program and the people flanking her," Mr. Natsios says. Regarding the level of politics expressed in the Greek Parliament, he speaks of "politics that has devolved into shouts, screams, and catchphrases. We deal with cufflinks, ties, and quips, and not the real problems of the citizens."
Full abolition of Article 86 and doubling of penalties for politicians
Finally, Dimitris Natsios refers to the policy of oligopolies: "We are captives to the oligopolies of banks, insurance companies, and supermarkets," while also mentioning "invisible Funds." He claims that party MPs went to Ireland to "search for the Funds and found chicken coops—nothing! At the same time, politicians grow rich while the Greek people lose their homes. A political gang governs wretched Greece," he says. He also calls for the full abolition of Article 86 and the doubling of the prescribed penalty for politicians caught "with the goat on their back" (red-handed)!
