Her intention not to participate in the upcoming European elections – if the issue with e-mails to expatriates has not been fully clarified – announced the ND MEP, Anna Michelle Asimakopoulou.

“I am testifying today at the APDPHas requested, information related to the known issue of sending newsletters from my office. In my political career, I have always been a “soldier” of the great ND faction and served it from whatever position was asked of me. As an MEP, for 5 years I fought many battles for Greece and the Greeks. For this entire course I am obviously being evaluated and judged.

Loyal to my principles, values ​​and love for GreeceI informed the Prime Minister of my decision not to participate as an MEP candidate in the upcoming European elections in June if this matter is not fully clarified.

This, because my conscience does not allow me to unwittingly participate in the efforts of some to harm the institution of postal votingthe Mitsotakis Government or the prestige of Greece.

The reason now lies exclusively with the competent authorities investigating the case and I am certain that they will quickly end up in highlighting the truth and the real dimensions of the specific issue. I repeat once more that I will cooperate with them in whatever is asked of me.”
