In his speech, the deputy minister to the prime minister and government representative, P. Marinakis, raised the issue of PASOK and SYRIZA pre-consultation on the motion of no confidence against the government. As he said, today on Action24 TV station, the former minister N. Pappas “witnessed or escaped his notice”, that there was also a pre-consultation between SyRiza and PASOK, so not only was the filing of a motion of no confidence done with terrible reflexes, but it was apparently being prepared from PA.SO.K. and from SyRiza said Mr. Marinakis and added: this was also the reason why Mr. Androulakis came today Wednesday, while this has happened many days before, and for distraction, he tried to use publications about social meetings, and throw mud in a government which, on Sunday and Monday and Tuesday, everywhere, [..] we told the truth exactly as it is, said Mr. Marinakis, who had called the president of PASOK, as “willing”, on Sunday afternoon, to table a motion of no confidence on the occasion of the publication of Vimas Sunday.

As he said, the facts speak for themselves. This puts pressure on you, because you cannot answer to the citizens how it is possible to have in front of you “a government that has done all these ..bad things for the country”, with the institutions, with the Democracy and the Economy, but a motion of no confidence to do, apparently in consultation with SyRiza, – said Mr. Pappas – I say it again, [..] on an issue that was resolved a year ago.

Asking for the floor, the present parliamentary representative of PASOK, D. Manzios said that “what Mr. Pappas says in television interviews is not our issue. I don’t know what the purpose is, what it says, and what it aims for. Ask there, what Mr. Pappas says and not here, said Mr. Manzos and added: “We too must consider the social meeting that took place on Sunday night, after the publication, of two ministers of state, in the home of the businessman publisher who published the newspaper that published this article..”

In his intervention, State Minister Makis Voridis said that if Mr. Pappas had not involved PASOK, Mr. Manzos would have been right. “But Mr. Pappas said something very specific. He said that there is a pre-agreement between PA.SO.K. and SyRiza, before the publication of the publication, which, according to your president, was the final straw, and therefore, this is what gives rise to the questions that you must answer. Is Mr. Pappas lying? asked Mr. Voridis with Mr. Manzos saying that “the one who says it is responsible”. He is certainly responsible, but the question is whether he is lying, commented Mr. Voridis, and continued: “There are two parties here. Mr. Pappas and you. Mr. Pappas said we were talking about it beforehand. I mean? And before the publication. That is, having knowledge of the publication, before it was published. That’s what Mr. Pappas said. You now have to say if he is a liar, said Mr. Voridis, with Mr. Manzos calling the words of the SYRIZA MP “fantasy”.

Afterwards, Mr. Voridis said that here there is something that is said and it is clear and specific, it is named and publicly, and you are now contradicting this, with social meetings, which did not produce a political result. But what Mr. Pappas says produced a political effect, Mr. Voridis observed: The political effect of the meetings and understandings and the wider coordination was the motion of no confidence. The others have no political effect. It is, let’s talk. Look at it a little bit among yourselves, because in terms of the main issue, which is the motivation and the methodology of the particular proposal, which we are discussing today, here you are exposed. And this is revealed, said Mr. Voridis.
