Intense dialogue between Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Alexis Tsipras: There were names in the Rammos letter, yes or no
With reference to Holocaust Remembrance Day, the prime minister began his speech, even commenting that although this memory of the people who perished and the 60,000 Greek Jews who perished, does not ensure applause from all wings, it shows the level of toxicity in the political scenery.
Watch his speech live:
At last Mr. Tsipras agreed to come to the Parliament for a confrontation with all the matter. Five months please, Here we settle our differences. Here and at the polls. And the Democracy will be protected with the victory of the ND at the polls. The elections are not late. They will send you back to the opposition. Citizens do not forget, they judge fairly. You reminded us today that the SYRIZA troupe knows how to put on a single play. To project the country, you got over your worst self with personal attacks on me. Kitsos Tegopoulos had used the term “guilty” or “blax”, referring to Andreas Papandreou, who was involved in the Koskotas scandal and Mr. Mantzouranis, who is currently Mr. Pappas’ lawyer. From pampers, we went to bags. You are trying to present a dystopian reality, I understand why you turn up the decibels of vulgarity. You have no say in the world, what you want to do. You cannot talk not only about the future, but also about your past. On January 25, you made a motion of no confidence when you became prime minister in 2015. Most Greeks want to forget it. Then began this sad adventure of the country. Which brought her with closed banks, but with wide open borders. with the infamous butthole referendum. A chain of unsustainable cuts followed that brought the middle class to its knees.
The choice of date is doubly unfortunate. You did it on the same day that the Security Council was meeting in Turkey. You made headlines again in the Turkish media. No other media was playing. Discussion is welcome. Many times we have argued over the issue of wiretapping. I was placed right from the start. My opinions count, as do yours. I’m not hiding and I’m certainly not speechless. You did not speak for so many days about the suitcases with the money from Mr. Kalogritsa to SYRIZA.
The motion of no confidence is a leading procedure. And opportunity to compare and see our deeds and contrast them with your own route. And it is an occasion to inform the people about other aspects of current affairs. You recently learned that there are judges in Athens. There are two of your ministers on trial for abuse of power and undermining the rule of law. And judges judging the case in Mati, where 103 lives were lost with the state non-existent, with rigged interviews, while you already knew the magnitude of the tragedy. There is not a man who listens to the depositions and does not feel a lump in his throat and never speak again.
For the follow-ups, I and the government positioned ourselves straightforwardly. He assumed political responsibilities, persons and we changed the law. Without dismantling a critical structure. The new EYP law stipulates that only military and diplomats may be appointed to the leadership and will be controlled by two judges. It is a reasonable balance between the need for security and the protection of rights. Old weaknesses did not exhaust their choice. To give answers to the scenario of SYRIZA to set up a spy film that started with leaks in your media. And waving, finally, an envelope coming out of ADAE, it said confidential on the envelope, you made it a fail flyer, but you didn’t answer us, if the names were mentioned in the letter, yes or no? Were there names? If there weren’t, then you are misleading parliament. I tell you that in the letter that Mr. Rammos sent me, there were NO. Did he send you another letter? I cannot place the letter on the record.
Mr. Tsipras asks to intervene – it is accepted
– Mitsotakis: Were there names, yes or no?
Tsipras: Mr. Rammos was responding to a request by SYRIZA with specific names. Don’t try to play bridesmaids. You are accused.
Mitsotakis: Mr. Tsipras confirmed that there were no names in the letter he received. Thank you.
