“Today, what we denounced from the beginning was confirmed: New Democracy has turned the Ministry of the Interior, under the responsibility of the political leadership and the Maximos Palace, into its electoral center” points out in a statement PASOK-Movement for Change.

“Personal data of tens of thousands of emigrants reached its MEP through the General Secretary of the ministry and the Head of Emigration Department of New Democracy. The withdrawal of Mrs. Asimakopoulou from the European ballot paper concerns only her and cannot be considered as a release from her weighty responsibilities.”

“It is necessary to ensure the credibility of the electoral process and the integrity of the electoral data. According to the law, the responsible minister, Mr. Kerameos, and the Ministry of the Interior are responsible for processing this data,” says Harilaou Trikoupi in an indirect reference to the postal vote.

“The minister must be held accountable for the data leak and take responsibility. A responsibility that falls on her personally as the head of the Ministry of the Interior and is not transferred to general secretaries and other executives” concludes PASOK-Movement for Change.
