“Mr. Tsipras continues unabated to challenge the citizens’ intelligence by trying to support his pre-election narrative. The one who fought against every institutional effort of accountability and evaluation speaks of meritocracy”, emphasizes the government representative, Yannis Oikonomou, in a statement, responding to the statement of Alexis Tsipras after his meeting with the president of the Court of Auditors.

“It speaks of justice and respect for the public interest that he has by his side two of his ministers convicted in the Special Court for the heaviest offense for a public official, breach of duty. His oldest and closest associate, Mr. Pappa and Mr. Papagelopoulos. He speaks of a modern and efficient state that has reduced to its top executives the ministers of previous governments who were the pillars of statism and partisanship.

He cannot be trusted to believe in the modernization of the state and evaluation, in conflict with chronic pathologies and guild perceptions that have held us back and are holding us back.”
