Shortly after the ND’s proposal for the establishment of an OPEKEPE examination committee, Kostis Hatzidakis, Vice -President of the Government, from the plenary step, set the context of the research pursued by the proposal of the fellowship for the reality that was formed.

“We directly recognize that we did not succeed in the OPECEPE issue. Honestly, open, honestly. Together with OSE, there are two areas that we have not succeeded. And for this reason, not only have we assumed our responsibilities, but we also have a very specific plan both in one case and in the other, to deal with the issue.

In the case of OPEKEPE, in consultation with the European Commission and will be made official notifications soon, we will have a complete absorption of OPEKEPE by AADE and has also begun by the Financial Police, to investigate all the VAT, starting with those who have taken the largest subsidies to go to each other. Dots and dash. It’s our duty. We are not boasted about it.

It has to be in the end of this story, “said Hatzidakis, and addressed the opposition:” We talked to the way we talked and assumed the responsibility that belongs to us, of course, the political responsibility, and what the Justice decides. Beyond that, there are already trials. But will you, when the discussion of the examination and the pre -trial, will take on your responsibilities? I am curious, PASOK, will it say ‘yes in our days, were they doing?’

Was there or was the creature of our imagination, the video with Theodore Pangalos in Crete saying ‘let’s have a discussion, between stolen’? I was or there was because your party followed specific practices, which were also imposed very specific and heavy fines? Also, were they all perfect and angelic? Was there or did not have the technical solution? Were the pastures, no sheep or didn’t exist? “

“Those of you who come and shake your finger, to us, have you been a bit out of the way with yourself?” Mr. Hatzidakis insisted, and wondered if PASOK and SYRIZA have thought if their own executives are unmistakable and uninhabited. “Therefore, this opposition is a sponsorship in New Democracy, at a time difficult for the New Democracy, because it is a very serious issue. But when we have to explain our own responsibilities, you come and acquit us. Because you are talking as if you are from another planet, as if you have nothing to do with the subject.

Keep it up, but I don’t think this reinforces your credibility, “the government’s vice -president said, responding to those who criticize the government that the proposal is trying to cover up:” The prime minister has made it clear today and we are all clarified. That we will explore all the issues, the governance of all governments and of course, if there are responsibilities, these responsibilities will be sought with calm and without a disposition.

The debate will be public, if we go, in a contemptuous way for the elements and the Greek people who will watch us, conceal, of course, that any problem today would be bigger tomorrow. Our interest is to give justice. To fall into plenty of light. But not to attribute the justice of PASOK, SYRIZA and the new Left, but normal justice, according to the rule of law! So sit here to discuss, suggest as many witnesses you want, to bring whatever evidence you want, to prove that there are at least elementary signs of criminal responsibility and here we are to see everything. But to discuss cool, civilized, European. That’s what we say. “

Responding to those who raise the risk of limitation, the deputy prime minister commented that PASOK on the one hand is talking about a limitation period, but it took 20 days to submit his proposal and did not send anything to send three pages to the House to prevent the possibility of it. “This obviously shows that something is wrong with your party.

Our attitude is clear, we will not conceal the responsibilities of anyone, it would be silly to do so, it would be at the expense of the party’s party interests. What we are saying is to have an examination and, after the check we will do, if it turns out that there are shameful signs of criminal liability, we will all move together in this direction. So come together, look at everyone’s responsibilities. We talked about our own responsibilities. One I haven’t heard. You PASOK and SYRIZA talk about your own responsibilities. You are angels, you have heard nothing about either the OPEKEPE, you grabbed the sheep somewhere further, “said Hatzidakis.

The deputy prime minister, after attending the government’s speech by PASOK President Nikos Androulakis, responded to his heavy criticism, both on the proposal of examinations, both on foreign policy, public procurement, migratory and immigration.

Mr. Chatzidakis commented on the opposition party stance on the vote earlier today, to remove the immunity of New Democracy MPs who participated in the Special Preliminary Inquiry Committee for Christos Triantopoulos. He emphasized that on the basis of the Constitution, the MP’s irritable, for the expression of opinion, it is the foundation of parliamentary democracy.

“I would like to note the at least paradoxical attitude of the opposition parties, and in particular PASOK, which is a party of the opposition and is, in his view, to become a government of the country, in the morning vote to lift immunity,” the Vice -President said 62 and the Vice -President. “They fully recognize the right of every Member to say his opinion.

And for his right, he is absolutely irrelevant. It is the foundation of the Parliamentary Republic, where there is a parliamentary democracy in the world, “he said, noting that the 14 ND members expressed their opinion in a parliamentary process. PASOK voted for “present,” the ND vice president said: “I am waiting for you Mr. Androulakis a straight position. What did you get to vote in this way? That is, to have this attitude, a party such as the Golden Dawn, which was not respected by the Constitution and was not interested in it, to perceive it.

But those of you who declare a Social Democratic Party, vote for something that is clearly defined in the Constitution as the right of Members? ” In parliamentary democracies, Mr Chatzidakis noted, they do not vote in this tragic way of parties claiming to become a government and commented that PASOK itself is undermining its credibility.

Foreign policy

Responding to criticism of foreign policy, Kostis Hatzidakis emphasized that “this government is in practice defending national interests”.

This government, he said, delineated the maritime zones with Italy and Egypt, giving weapons to any discussions with Turkey in the future because a previous one was created. It is this government that has strengthened and further strengthened the EDs, especially in the air and in the sea, he said and called on Mr Androulakis to reflect on Rafale, Belhara, the F35 agreement.

“But wasn’t a few months ago the second largest in the world, hydrocarbon mining? Chevron, “Mr Hatzidakis said, noting that other companies were followed, which expressed interest in the extraction of hydrocarbons,” in practice canceling the infamous, and invalid, tourist memorandum. “

“So why to have, and to have you and all the others, the defeat that we are supposedly threatened, in practice, from Libya, when the plans of Libya and Turkey, of any Libyan, have been annulled by our Greek politics, with our own Greek politicians. Don’t we see that? “Said the deputy prime minister.

On the Turkish -tired Memorandum, Mr Hatzidakis said that there was a recent initiative of the prime minister, recently at the last European Council in Brussels and a decision re -emphasized that it is completely invalid. “We will proceed with speed and determination to the mines of hydrocarbons based on the midline,” he said.

He also referred to the maritime spatial planning, which was “pending for years”, submitted the relevant texts to the European Commission, and Turkey was “not particularly pleased”. In relation to the Sinai Monastery, he noted that the negotiations are continuing, “on the right track”, and “will end up very soon”, and there is already an article in Kathimerini, of the Egyptian Foreign Minister, in which he refers to the strong ties of Greece and Egypt, but also to the respect of his worship, Historically its offer and its journey.

“On the cable you will be patient. This government, without voices and Antara, defends national interests in practice, as we did with Chevron, as we did with marine spatial planning, as we did with the strengthening of the EDs, as we did with the decisive answer we gave to Evros, in the 2020s, Interests, “the government’s vice -president said, noting that” reality is avenging the excesses of the opposition. “

Migratory

Referring to the migration, Mr Hatzidakis emphasized that, as the prime minister has made clear, “Greece is not and will not become a vineyard”, and therefore, in addition to Greece’s contacts, the government has suspended asylum applications, It is not a slogan, but the government’s decision, “Mr Hatzidakis said, and called on Mr Androulakis to explain PASOK’s attitude that voted in the amendment to asylum asylum, but also voted that the provision was unconstitutional.

“How can you, while doing all these blinds, then come and shake your finger? The only explanation is that you came to shake our finger if you cover these blunders a bit, “the Deputy Prime Minister commented, adding:” So they are PASOK’s gentlemen, and your heart knows that I am telling the truth and discussing it. “

Public contracts

For PASOK’s criticism of public procurement, the Deputy Prime Minister said that from 2020 to 2024, in total of 64.2 billion, only 10.4 billion were commissioned by direct contracts. Also, the $ 48 billion was commissioned by competitive processes and the 16 billion with non -competitive processes, namely direct assignments and non -competitive processes, “below the limits set by the legislation, that is, one in four euros”. “But beyond that of the 831,878 contracts made directly by the central government, only 116,902 were made 13.9% of the total contracts.

The rest of the direct assignments, 86%, have been made by local government, “the Deputy Prime Minister said, stressing that the most important is that the value of the euro of public procurement made by the central government, with a direct assignment over five years, is € 2.35 billion in € 64 billion.
