“We had enough of revolutionary gymnastics and statements. But democracy is defended by actions,” says Mr. Marinakis.
Government representative Pavlos Marinakis criticizes SYRIZA regarding the official opposition’s stance on the issue of the “Spartiates” party.
New Democracy and PASOK have submitted memorandums in order to block his descent in the European elections in June.
The government representative, citing a statement by the party’s Justice Department head, accuses SYRIZA of only deciding to send a memorandum today, when, as he says, the deadline has expired since April 20.
“Just yesterday we were wondering as a government why SYRIZA has not submitted a memorandum to the Areopagus against the Spartans party. Today we got the answer. A little while ago, the member of parliament and head of the Justice Department of SYRIZA, Alexandros Avlonitis, speaking on a program on the Parliament channel, informed us that they decided (and in fact after a meeting with the head of the SYRIZA KO Sokratis Famellos) to submit a memorandum “today itself” against the Spartans. Today! While the deadline has expired since the 20th of the month”, said Pavlos Marinakis.
As the government representative says, “it is not the first time that SYRIZA is absent from such a case that concerns the quality of our democracy. Neither had they voted for our last legislative initiative in this direction, nor had they submitted a memorandum against the Kasidiaris party in the national elections of 2023.”
“The so-called defenders of Democracy, who fight for the Rule of Law, slandering Greece in Europe, remain steadfast only in big words and creating impressions. Like when for 4.5 years they couldn’t find a room to try the Golden Dawn criminal organization. We had our fill of revolutionary gymnastics and statements. But democracy is defended by actions”, concluded the government representative.
