SYRIZA condemns Mitsotakis for failing to cope with the pandemic, instead applying “punishment”

Greece’s main opposition party, the left-wing SYRIZA, has sharply criticized Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis after announcing mandatory vaccinations for everyone over 60 and fine in the amount of 100 euros per month for non-compliance.

“The culprit of the health disaster in the panic caused by the complete collapse of the national health care system and the pitiful European ‘leader’ in deaths and Covid cases, instead of taking responsibility, is shifting it back onto the citizens,” says SYRIZA, a statement released by a few hours after Mitsotakis’s statements.

SYRIZA accused Mitsotakis of targeting people over 60 this time, and instead of announcing measures to support the national health system, encourage vaccinations and tighten health measures, he instead announced punitive measures and economic destruction, and implemented measures that are not found in any other country in the world. “
