“Another firework of an irresponsible opposition, which tries to instrumentalize a tragedy with fireworks. Let them take the trouble to draw up an indictment, so far there is only mud in the fan to cover their political non-existence”, noted the government spokesman, Pavlos Marinakis, in response to a question at the briefing of the political editors regarding objections of the official opposition party for establishment of a preliminary investigation committee. In fact, the government representative emphasized that the opposition has so far avoided formulating a specific indictment, as they should put down on paper what they have been unsubstantiated for months.

With reference to the statements of the SYRIZA MP, Nikos Pappas, about agreements between SYRIZA and PASOK before the submission of the motion of no confidence, Mr. Marinakis pointed out, among other things: “Ultimately, there are three pieces of the puzzle. Now we have the full picture. As they talk, they reveal more. The pre-arrangement that Mr. Pappas said, the publication of the newspaper “to Vima tis Kyriakis” and the motion of no confidence of the willing Mr. Androulakis. Never the gathering of forces increases their sum, when you add zero to zero the result is zero. When you have nothing to say, you tool in the foreground and make deals in the background. Yesterday we saw a different Mr. Pappa, maybe because they were caught with the goat on their back?’

Asked about a publication, which referred to meeting of government officials with a certain businessmanPavlos Marinakis spoke of a meeting on a friendly level, which has nothing to do with the political confrontation in the background of the parliamentary process and insisted that the greatest proof is our actions and not our words.

“We positioned ourselves in a specific way towards a specific publication.”

Asked about the objections of the president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, regarding international observers in the elections, the government representative repeated the charge of undermining the state, which was addressed from the beginning by the ruling party to the president of SYRIZA.

Finally, when asked about this, the government representative announced that because the dates of the two leaders’ programs do not coincide, it will not be possible for the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, to go to Washington for a meeting with the American President, Joe Biden, on the occasion of the event in White House for the national anniversary of March 25.
