In a recent speech at the War Museum in Athens, former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras stirred various reactions and comments. While some criticized him disparagingly, it is acknowledged that part of his criticism of the government resonated with traditional New Democracy voters. Samaras expressed their sentiments, emphasizing the need for a right-wing tendency within Greece’s largest party.
However, Samaras received backlash for overlooking the positive actions of the current government, particularly on national issues like Greek-Turkish relations. Despite his criticism, the government’s handling of Turkish aggression and efforts to upgrade Greece’s international standing have been widely recognized.
As the article concludes, it reflects on Samaras’ political journey and emphasizes the importance of providing informed criticism rather than fearmongering. It highlights the necessity of acknowledging achievements even amidst political differences.
