Social Media Post by SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance President, Socrates Famellos (English Translation)
The government’s partial retreat from its surprise decision to shut down 204 Hellenic Post (ELTA) branches is clear evidence of its panic in the face of strong public opposition.
As SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, we joined our voice with local authorities and communities to defend a public service that serves citizens, especially in the regions and on the islands.
We reacted immediately and demanded that the government reverse all closures of ELTA branches and bring the issue to Parliament with commitments for the future.
Obviously, this means keeping all branches open.
PR stunts and empty promises fool no one.
Thanks to our actions, some regional branches will initially remain open. But we will intensify our efforts to ensure that all 204 branches stay open permanently.
Public pressure stands against injustice and the plan to serve private interests being carried out by the New Democracy party.
Mr. Mitsotakis has proven unreliable and weak when citizens stand up for their rights. He cannot hide the fact that the Hellenic Post was bankrupted by the “blue locusts” (a term referring to the ruling party’s mismanagement).
We must continue to demand justice — both inside and outside Parliament — to overturn this harmful decision and work toward the well-being of society.
Until this dangerous government falls.
