Questions about the origin of his alleged €250,000 loan Stefanou Kasselakis to SYRIZA addressed the Minister of Labor Adonis Georgiades to the president of the official opposition party, Stefanos Kasselakis.

“I believe Mr. Kasselakis has not understood the laws of the state and what his role is. Where is the money from? From his company? From his personal account? From which activity? He says he has money from shipping, so think about it being from offshore…” Mr. Georgiadis told Action24.

“This whole leak shows the chaos in their minds. They have neither understood what a party is, nor how its finances work, nor what laws apply, nor what controls they are subject to, nothing, they have done it all wrong.” “Since Mr. Kasselakis has chosen to enter active politics, he is bound by the laws and the rules of active politics. End of story. So far he is behaving like a private person,” continued Mr. Georgiadis.

Regarding the recent trip of the SYRIZA president to Paris, which Stefanos Kasselakis said was for business reasons, Mr. Georgiadis wondered “what are those reasons?” He cannot have a hidden professional activity by law. The people must declare to the Parliament “I have these professional activities, I went to Paris and saw them” if it is for professional reasons. The Greek people must know their professional activities”.

“It’s illegal. He is obliged to declare where he found this money. The leader of the opposition has no hidden professional activity. Perfect. Since Mr. Kasselakis has chosen to enter active politics, he is bound by the laws and rules of active politics. So far he is behaving like a private person,” continued Adonis Georgiadis.

SYRIZA’s reaction

SYRIZA commented on the statements of Adonis Georgiadis in a statement saying that “you call it audacity for the “unspecified” Mr. Ad. Georgiadis”.

“You call it audacity for the “indistinct” Mr. Ad to point the finger. Georgiadis, referring to an interest-free and in all respects legal loan, which was given to pay the gifts and salaries of the workers.

As Minister of Labor the least he should do is to applaud such an action and especially at a time when punctuality has hit red and the majority of workers find it difficult to respond, especially on public holidays.”
