SYRIZA–Progressive Alliance criticizes the New Democracy government for using national defense and military equipment for communication-driven events and partisan self-promotion. It stresses that such practices do not strengthen the country’s deterrent capability nor reflect the seriousness required by the current circumstances.
The party highlights the growing number of resignations within the Armed Forces and the alarming gaps in military academies, calling for clear answers regarding service conditions, financial compensation, and career prospects. According to the statement, genuine defense strength depends on investment in human resources, training, and staffing—not on media spectacles.
