"Seven years of New Democracy, unfortunately, we are living through another lost opportunity. Stagnation and decay," Androulakis stated, arguing that the government squandered the potential of the Recovery Fund. He contended that the Greek economy's growth is driven by the sale of domestic property, particularly real estate, rather than robust, productive, and competitive investments that create quality jobs.

The Greek economy is based on growth that is a sell-off of domestic property, real estate, and not strong, productive, competitive investments that will create good jobs.

The PASOK leader also decried the lack of regional development initiatives and pointed to scandals and corruption. "The world is experiencing an unprecedented wave of price hikes everywhere. In food, in health, in rents," he said, emphasizing the widespread cost of living crisis. Androulakis called for a "political change with a progressive plan of responsibility and consistency," expressing optimism that PASOK can deliver the shift citizens desire.
