Recovery Fund and monitoring divide the government and SYRIZA

By Antonis Anzoletou

The coming week will not be politically uneventful. SYRIZA has opened a new front with the government regarding the renegotiation of the Recovery Fund resources with Maximou reacting strongly. Before the election, Koumoundourou turns a blind eye to medium and small-sized enterprises for more and better funding at a time when the government accuses her of trying to mislead the citizens.

To a certain extent, the pre-election conflict has taken on characteristics that are similar to 2015. The battle will be tough in view of the passing of the budget, and this was shown by the positions of both Alexis Tsipras and Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

During the cabinet meeting, the prime minister responded for the second time on the occasion of the disbursement of the 2nd tranche of 3.5 billion euros. “I think it is a move that puts a European stamp on the proper management of European resources by the government, but it also responds to the irresponsible words that have been heard recently about the renegotiation or renegotiation of the Recovery Fund”, he said characteristically. Alexis Tsipras from Pella speaking to the farmers had shown his intentions, as in view of the passing of the budget he is expected to intensify the pressure in the field of the economy. “Our political will and one of the first options after the election of a progressive government will be to renegotiate and redistribute the resources of the Recovery Fund in order to support agricultural production,” he said.

The thermometer is expected to rise to the red from the meeting of the Institutions and Transparency Committee of the Parliament on Monday. The information states that the former director of the prime minister’s office, Grigoris Dimitriadis, will be present, so the opposition is feverishly preparing for the questions he will address. SYRIZA, after all, has set a number of conditions for the holding of the meeting which will be discussed at the beginning. In relation to the businessmen Yiannis Lavranos, Felix Bizio and Tal Dilian, they will only accept a personal appearance and not a written statement. They want the discussion to be public since it concerns private individuals and for those who are invited not to attend, they are expected to request even forceful arrest as a last resort. Initially, they will ask for the re-convening of the Commission.

From the presidium of the Parliament they emphasize that there has never been any use of forceful bringing to Committees in the past, since it is not a process of examining witnesses, but a hearing.

In the official opposition, they have focused their attention on the MPs of the New Democracy, Costas Tzavaras and Olga Kefalogiannis, who, through public interventions, have sent messages to the Maximos Palace in relation to secrecy and the need to lift it. The information states that the deputy of Ilia of New Democracy has requested his replacement on Thursday night for health reasons. From what will be said at the meeting and from its conclusion, it is natural for the parties to readjust their strategy in this particular case. For the sake of balance, it is recalled that in the Institutions and Transparency Committee, the participating MPs are 19 and the governing majority consists of 11 MPs.
