While addressing an election rally in Syntagma Square on Friday night, leader of the New Democracy (ND) party Antonis Samaras noted that "we shall not allow anyone to take us out of Europe, to play games against our country. We shall not let the country become a free-for-all for every law-breaker, for every illegal immigrant". He also underlined his volition to implement a promise "for growth and jobs for the young people." The leader of the ND party pointed out that "these elections are crucial and will be determined by the very last ballot. The crucial question is euro or drachma, this is what the 'drachma lobby' wants, and what forces abroad also desire. If this happens we would go 50 years back."
The leader of the ND party also criticised SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras whom he called a "representative of the drachma lobby" saying that those who stand to gain from the return to the drachma "are the new oligarchs."
He then said that there are seven crucial dilemmas that the people are being called on to reply with Sunday's elections.
- the first crucial question is euro or drachma as the drachma lobby wants and forces abroad desire
- the second is a change in economic policy and growth or disaster and a worse memorandum
- the third is jobs or massive unemployment
- the fourth dilemma is between yesterday and tomorrow
- the fifth between security and fear
- the sixth what does Greece and Greeks want, strong alliances or isolating itself
- the last dilemma is governance or lack of governance.
