In high tones, the intervention of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, is a response to the head of the KINAL Central Committee, Michalis Katrinis, regarding his recent visit to Russia and about “oligarchies”. At the same time, he “assured” the leader of the official opposition, Alexis Tsipras, that “what is being deliberately circulated about his alleged disagreement with the prime minister lacks elementary seriousness. “There was no chance that we would sit side by side in this discussion and he would tolerate me and I would cover something for which I would have a complete disagreement.”
Responding to the head of the KINAL Central Committee, the Foreign Minister said that “I understand your need to show a position but also your difficulty in representing an absent leader, but this can not justify everything” and added: “In your prologue, you blamed “Government fiasco from my visit to Moscow and meeting with Mr Lavrov.” Basically you should document the “fiasco” and tell us, if you judged the visit a “fiasco”, because while it was announced you did not say it before it happened or in any case after it happened – but you are coming now, after weeks in Parliament and you say something like that “. “If you consider the fact that I went to Moscow and met with Mr Lavrov a ‘fiasco’, I imagine you would say the same about Mr Macron, Tony Blaker and everyone else.”
Regarding Mr. Katrinis’s comments on the announcement of the visit, the Foreign Minister said: “Really, what are you accusing the Greek government of? – that it did not exactly foresee the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Is that why you read us and compared me and the Prime Minister with Eleftherios Venizelos? And you told us that we are not at the historical height of Eleftherios Venizelos? If you asked me this I would recognize you immediately. But I ask you, since you were so very diligent, did you not pay attention to the announcement of the Foreign Minister, days before the announcement that you read to us, where I asked the Greek citizens to leave Ukraine? Did you see the announcement of the Foreign Minister after the visit to Moscow that also asked the Greek citizens to leave Ukraine? And in any case, if you had predicted them with such clarity, certainty, purity and clarity, why did not you share them with us and wait now, after 7 days from the invasion to tell us? “
The Foreign Minister, in fact, urged the head of the KINAL Central Committee on serious national issues – such as because Turkish letters have remained unanswered – not to enter into diplomatic temptations and to attribute oligarchy to the government, because “we are not talking about filing a lawsuit in Court of First Instance” . “Have the basic feeling that when there is a delay, it serves a national expediency. “And if you want information, I never denied it to your party, but to come here and talk about oligarchy are childish things,” said Mr. Dendias.
In response, the head of the KINAL Central Committee, Michalis Katrinis, spoke of “obvious irritation” of the minister, “with the insulting characterizations of our president Nikos Androulakis instead of talking about the issue I raised with you.” “I do not think you are taking away our right ten days after your meeting to judge your insight or not. I do not think you are above criticism. Why did your answer show that you consider yourself above criticism “said Mr. Katrinis and called on the Foreign Minister to make his own criticism about the result of his visit to Mr. Lavrov but also that” you had left Mariupol for 15 months without a consul “.
