THE ‘Akis Schertsos commented on the speech of Mr. Androulakis, asking for the floor when the president of PASOK-Change Movement finished it. Mr. Skertsos said that “…I would expect the mistake made by some PASOK MPs to point the finger at MPs, who disagree or will abstain, not to be repeated. I think you should look in the mirror of your party,” In addition, the Under Secretary to the Prime Minister and introducer of the bill dropped hints about what his MPs will vote on PASOK. “From what we learn, you also have such MPs and it will show at the ballot box. But it is better to approach this issue with more self-awareness and with more moderation and not point the finger both at the other parties and at society for a difficult issue that is charged with values ​​and identities.

Today is an important moment for the Greek parliament, because there are five parties that support a legislative initiative. This doesn’t happen often. It is a moment of celebration for the Greek Parliament that responds to the demands of a minority of Greek society, which is finally vindicated by the Greek Parliament.”

Mr. Skertsos replied to Nikos Androulakis and what the president of PASOK-Movement of Change supported for the rule of law. “I believe that the issues of the rule of law, which are being raised by opposition parties, come and come back like a fig leaf because they are obliged to vote for this legislative initiative that comes from the ND. And today’s Economist report that ranks Greece among the 20 best democracies, we are higher than other very important European countries, economies and democracies, shows the political motivations and political expediencies that prevailed in this resolution you refer to in the European Parliament. And no, Mr. Androulakis, when you refer to the liberals you should know and say publicly and tell the Parliament and society that it was Mrs. Van Hert and Mr. Kyrtsos, by transcription, who brought this resolution to the liberals to get their own signature.”

Akis Skertsos invited Mr. Androulakis and all the parties when the reports of the European Commission on the state of the rule of law in Greece will be published in June, the Corruption Report and economic crime, also in June, to have a discussion about the improvement that will be recorded – based on the messages we receive from these committees – our country in all the recommendations it accepts. “We are interested in the quality of the rule of law in our country and we are also interested in a constructive dialogue of substance and not stonewalling and not with unsubstantiated attacks and allegations”, he concluded
