“I ask everyone to think about social responsibility before taking drastic measures. I am appealing to local medical societies before I have to resort to more drastic measures.

This is an important reform.” concluded.
For the Novartis case
Addressing the issue of Novartis, Prime Minister K. Mitsotakis said that the Novartis case has come up again and is a vulgar political conspiracy.
The judicial system is responsible for removing the headlines, he said, adding that he would insist that what happened to SYRIZA in 2018 was a set-up in which 10 political figures were unfairly implicated.
“They’re doing very well and asking for the hoods to be removed, we’re not forgetting what happened. Justice will decide this. There is evidence that allows him to do so. What SYRIZA did was the worst thing I have ever seen in politics. 10 political figures will be targeted for the completely falsified case”concluded.
