Democracy. Justice. Transparency.

It is the will of us all to contribute to this goal. Because nothing suits us other than the pursuit of taking on the responsibility of confronting the dead ends created by conservative policies, of restoring Social Prosperity and respect for democratic institutions in our country.

We will all contribute with unity and concord, through struggle within society, to persuade others of our positions and our vision.

This vision excludes any possibility of a coalition government with New Democracy after the elections.

Whatever the outcome of the elections may be.

Our NO is clear and unambiguous. Without footnotes. Without “yes, but…”

It is not possible for us to accept the same people and the same policies of the opaque, arrogant, socially callous and corrupt politics of New Democracy. Whoever their leader may be.

Because then the demand of 70% of citizens for political change would be nullified — and the responsibility would be ours.

Such a coalition government would be dangerous not only for our party, but first and foremost for the country.

Because not only would it degenerate into a distribution of positions of power, proving unable to advance the major changes and reversals demanded by contemporary challenges, but it would also open the way for the strengthening of the forces of populism and the Far Right.

The decision of our Congress to reject a coalition government with ND constitutes a confirmation of our historical identity and character. For us, the ideological dividing lines with conservatism are not circumstantial; they constitute a fundamental element of our party’s DNA.

It constitutes a strategic choice that strengthens our political credibility and reinforces the prospect of Victory in the elections.

It constitutes a springboard for an advance towards a future of fair development with a progressive character.
