Nikī Tsavela stated that Antonis Samaras had instructed his supporters to accuse New Democracy of distorting its identity by broadening its appeal to other political spheres. She contrasted this with the European elections of 2014, when Samaras was prime minister, and claimed that Maria Spiraki, whom she described as a close associate of Akis Tsochatzopoulos, was his chosen candidate. She wrote that Samaras's team was intensely pressuring the party organizations to vote for her and that Spiraki received almost half a million votes. Tsavela mocked the reference to the "immaculate" faction and added that Samaras always had, to his credit, close friends from other political spheres. #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Ευρωεκλογές #Πολιτική (translated)

Figures like Lula are very rare. Not only because he is the first president from the working class and the greatest popular leader in our history, but for everything he represents and for all the transformation he brought to this country. There is a Brazil before Lula and a Brazil after. Those who know this country, those who know history, know what I am talking about. I, from the Northeast, son of a bricklayer, living in a boarding house in my childhood, was doomed to repeat the sad trajectory of all those who preceded me. But in the middle of the way, there was Lula. And with him came the chance to become the first in my family to attend university. With him came the possibility for my family, who worked hard their whole lives and never achieved anything because the country didn’t provide opportunities, to ascend socially. With him came the own house, our first car, our first plane trip, our first international trip, our second apartment. This man changed my life. Changed the lives of tens of millions. Brought dignity, hope, and the right to dream for the workers of our country. I always say that Lula's contribution to Brazil is already made. He has already done much more than what is expected of a single man. A boy from the countryside who came out of misery, shining shoes in the streets, to become the reorganizer of the trade union movement, to lead the fight against the dictatorship, to become the president who took the country out of the hunger map and ended the scourge of drought. Lula is 80 years old. He should be resting. That baton should have been passed to us on the left a long time ago. But we didn't do it. And there he is again, at 80 years old, trying to save this country once more. An extraordinary figure, who owes nothing to the greatest fighters of the popular classes in recent centuries. I respect those who will vote for Hertz, Samara, Edmilson Costa. But frankly? I lament those who will miss the opportunity to vote, for the last time, for a giant of history of Lula's magnitude. The radical left will still recognize the greatness of this man. Probably only after he is no longer among us – as usually happens, by the way. But I am sure that the realization will eventually come. #Lula #História #JustiçaSocial (translated)
