Answer to Stefanos Kasselakis who earlier in his post asked the Minister of Finance, Kostis Hatzidakis to “╬account to the Greek people for the recent losses of 1.567 billion euros” from the 7 divestments of State Holdings in the last 6 months”.

Circles of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, call on Mr. Kasselakis, before posting, to do a “google search”, as they say the things he is asking have been answered.

“So it takes either a lot of audacity or incredible ignorance for someone to support what Mr. Kasselakis supports,” they say.

Specifically, responding to the post of Stefanos Kasselakis, they note:

“Mr. Kasselakis is good before he presses the button to publish each of his posts to do a basic “google search”. Because if he had, he would have found out how what he touches on in his post has already been answered in detail from the floor of the Parliament in special meetings with the presence of SYRIZA representatives. Both the Government and the Bank of Greece presented data showing that the actual benefit from the bank rescue and recapitalization process was 4 billion euros without including the 2013-2023 dividends of 5.5 billion euros paid by the Bank of Greece in the State.

Let Mr. Kasselakis add the benefit from privatizations as well. There, the benefit from the 6 privatizations (ports, El. Venizelos airport, Helleniq Energy, Attiki Odos, etc.) that took place in the last 12 months exceeds 4.3 billion euros without taking into account the benefit from the disinvestment of the banks.

As for PPC audacity exceeds all limits. Everyone remembers that PPC in the summer of 2019 was on the verge of disaster. During the time of SYRIZA, the business “got in” 3-5 million euros every day! DEDDIE had even run out of pillars! From 7 euros they received its share, they brought it to about 1 euro. And of course, the report of the chartered accountant – and in fact co-signed by the SYRIZA administration – noted that without taking extraordinary measures, PPC would be closed in September 2019. Everyone now knows that PPC from the brink of disaster is an example successful restructuring.

So it takes either a lot of audacity or incredible ignorance for someone to support what Mr. Kasselakis supports.

In all probability, he possesses both”

The post of Stefanos Kasselakis

Earlier, Mr. Kasselakis wrote in his post:

“Why are you creating a private bank with public money? Answer: “Syriza Bank” and “Varoufakis”.

Known the candy of propaganda.

Mr. Hatzidakis has been challenged – in evidence – since the day before yesterday to answer why he proceeded contractually in 7 disposals of Public Participations in the last 6 months.

While he does not deny the loss of 1.567 billion euros from his decisions within a year, he hastens – through third parties – to attack the matter of the Attica bank which adds so many more losses without the prospect of revenue for the State in the future from the bank’s profits. It is written in the press that the government does not intend to keep the bank but to sell it to private individuals after the loss of 800 million euros of the State, i.e. money of the Greek taxpayers.

Why, then, is Mr. Hatzidakis not accountable to the Greek people for the recent losses of 1.567 billion euros from the loss of the State’s participation by PPC (16.8%), ELPE (4%), National Bank (22%) ), Aegean (11.5%), Alpha Bank (9%), Piraeus (27%) and Athens Airport (30%);

Let him leave the propaganda and finally answer if his decisions are for the benefit of the Greek people he serves or are served by a handful of private individuals”.
