“You have become completely untrustworthy and locked in your petty political strategies and tactics” observed the Secretary of State Makis Voridis, commenting on PASOK’s position in the perspective of revising Article 16 of the Constitution.

“Today you say this, tomorrow you will say the other. Even if we agreed, you would say another. You have become completely unreliable, trapped unfortunately, in your micro-political strategies and tactics” said Mr. Voridis, responding to a previous intervention by the parliamentary representative of PASOK-Movement of Change, Dimitris Mantzouwho, as Mr. Voridis said, asks us to “commit that the review will say that universities will be “non-state – non-profit”, and that this will be a content of the constitutional arrangement”.

Explaining the architecture of the revision, Mr. Voridis said that the present Parliament proposes to the next, revising Parliament, the articles that are to be revised, and this is because elections are intervening, while the content of the constitutional revision is at stake and subject to judgment by the voters : “(Voters) know and decide, and give direction to the revising Parliament, but you don’t care about all that,” said Mr. Voridis.

According to the Minister of State, PASOK says that the content of the constitutional provision must be “non-governmental – non-profit” for them to vote on it. However, today, “the non-governmental – non-profit” we do not vote? But you don’t vote for them… said Mr. Voridis, adding that PASOK presents, in addition to the constitutional complaint, also substantive complaints. “You say that the funds that will come, that will profit indirectly, that will outsource, that they serve the interests.. When the constitutional provision will say ‘non-state – non-profit’, won’t that apply then? Are they only valid today?’ asked Mr. Voridis.
