The reaction of SYRIZA was caused by the statements of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis from the pre-conference in Thessaloniki.

The main opposition party accuses Kyriakos Mitsotakis of resorting to the “method of defaming his political opponent” and makes it clear that Stefanos Kasselakis will submit a statement of where he is concerned, as defined by law.

THE Kyriakos Mitsotakis he went up to Thessaloniki today to speak at the ND pre-conference, while in Athens the governing majority is summarily closing the commission of inquiry into the crime of Tempe. He did not even find two words to articulate on this issue, which is the main reason for the condemnation resolution of the European Parliament against our country. Mr. Mitsotakis is hurt by this resolution, he is hurt by the 330 votes of progressive Europe. But instead of coming to his senses and changing tactics, paving the way for a real investigation into the Tempe crime, he insists on a cover-up. He did the same in the wiretapping scandal. We are not surprised, in this regard.

The only thing that surprises us is his audacity regarding his legitimate business activity Stefanou Kasselakis. Unusual, apparently, in the course of self-made people who are taxed normally and are able to prove how they legally and transparently acquire their property, he resorts to the method he knows well from family tradition: smearing his political opponent! A method, he believes, that can help him rally his party public, who are beginning to turn their backs on him, disillusioned by the precision, the cover-up of a crime and the arrogance of power.

It is revealing, however, the fact that Mr. Mitsotakis considers that his law SYRIZA of 2016 which prohibited political figures from having companies abroad, was done to hurt him personally.

Whether it refers to the company SCI Personal Ventures, owner of Voltaire’s famous property, which she hid from his relatives for several years. Whether the Parliament is used to legislating for him and his friends.

Stefanos Kasselakis, like all expatriate candidates, apparently also maintained activities and assets abroad. Legal, taxed and transparent. No law says that in order to run for office one must first sell all one’s assets. This, as anyone can rudimentarily perceive, would put expatriate candidates at a disadvantage and would be contrary to the principle of equality.

For the information of Mr. Mitsotakis: the president of SYRIZA PS will normally submit a statement of where he is concerned, as required by law, which he will certainly respect. So don’t worry! Or rather he is rightly worried: Nothing will go unanswered and nothing unpunished.
