SYRIZA vs. T. Pleuris: Al. Tsipras has been negative for the coronavirus since Saturday

A quarrel between the Minister of Health Th. Pleuris and SYRIZA “lit up” in the morning. Mr. Pleuris claimed that the president of SYRIZA, despite being positive for the corona virus, “broke” the quarantine and health protocols, by “attending” the reception at the presidential palace for the anniversary of the restoration of the Republic.

The party’s press representative Nasos Iliopoulos intervened, stating among other things that the president of SYRIZA was proven negative with a PCR test since Saturday, characterizing the minister as a far-right troll.

SYRIZA also issued a statement with a severe attack on Th. Pleuris centrally:

“The health minister of the 30,000 dead from the pandemic, the EU’s first place in deaths per million and the first place in Europe in excess mortality today exceeded all limits of vulgarity and far-right propaganda taken from the darkest pages of the fascist textbooks he grew up with .

Mr. Pleuris attempted a miserable distraction today by stating that the President of SYRIZA – PS went to the Presidential Palace on Sunday in violation of health protocols. To restore the truth, Alexis Tsipras had come out negative in a molecular test already on Saturday.

But who got the pain for health protocols? The health minister who sent workers to their jobs with fevers and depons to pile into subways and buses? Or the minister who stopped informing the citizens daily about the coronavirus?

There is no doubt that Mr. Mitsotakis himself is behind this vulgar attack on Pleuris, who, as much as he denies toxicity, throws the political confrontation into the mire and mud. The more it collapses, the more miserable, vulgar and dangerous it will become.”
