Frontal conflict between the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis and the press representative of SYRIZA Voulas Kehagia took place on the “air” of SKAI and the show Today on the occasion of the return of Pavlos Polakis to the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA.

They have become so ridiculous now that you don’t even want to make fun of them, said the Minister of Health. Yesterday morning Mrs. Kehagia, the press representative of the party, that is the person who talks to the current president more than anyone else, comes out and says “there is no question of Polakis returning to KO because he still hasn’t apologized”. Two hours later, Polakis’ return to KO is announced. Now tell me what party is this? Voula Kehagia is a dignified presence, she also has a presence in journalism, she also wrote articles… you wouldn’t call her ridiculous, let’s say. I say honestly it is not, it has a weight.

He should have, added Mr. Georgiadis, resigned immediately yesterday, I say so honestly. Two hours later you bring Polakis to KO? Bring her the day after tomorrow, don’t spoil her… She is a serious woman, she has made a career in journalism, why are you spoiling her so that the people who see her on the street laugh… Did she owe you something? If Kehagia speaks tomorrow, will anyone believe her? He won’t believe her. Her role was cancelled. Respecting her career, she had to resign.

Intervening on the SKAI show, Ms. Kehagia stated that I was surprised to hear the “Minister of Dissolution” of Health Adonis Georgiadis that I said that Mr. Polakis will not return to SYRIZA-PS, and I am challenging him because he is very involved with SYRIZA and not with the restoration of hospitals and public health which he has dismantled and ruined, to find where I said that Mr. Polakis will not return to KO. I challenge him now.

Adonis Georgiadis: What did you say yesterday morning?
Voula Kehagia: This is a speculation perpetuated by pro-government media targeting SYRIZA and its leadership… If Mr. Georgiadis finds that I have made such a statement that Mr. Polakis will not return, I will publicly apologize to him
Akis Pavlopoulos: For the people watching, I read that you were asked on the radio and you said that ‘I also listen to this information, if you want the scripts…’
Voula Kehagia: There is no… We are starting from a mistake. Nothing, nothing… Wrong. It’s all misinformation and speculation. There is no such thing… I will send you the audio to play. Please restore me.
Adonis Georgiadis: Tell us what you said… Those of us who read them on 2000 sites are lying. I didn’t listen to the show, I read the sites, but you can tell us what you said, then we can find the audio and play it to see if you said the same thing. But if you haven’t said the same you will resign today. Are we making a deal?

If she has not said what is written on all the sites, I will apologize to her, otherwise she will resign, because a 24-hour person who is on all the sites (the statement) did not intervene, noted the Minister of Health.

Then Dimitris Oikonomou “played” the audio clip in question on the air. Watch the video:

“Polakis thinks that the rest of Greece is Kasselakides”

Commenting earlier on the acquittal of all four defendants in the 2013-2014 KEELPNO recruitment trial, the Minister of Health noted that this afternoon at 6 o’clock I have a gathering at the Hellenic Education, I also have a political speech, where I will also present the minutes of Board of Directors of KEELPNO on the day they fired these people. Where one of the members of the board, and I want to call him to congratulate him, voted against saying “look guys, if they are acquitted tomorrow what will happen next?” And he voted against. But the others, because Polakis was giving them an order, fired… thousands of workers.

“When he started that story about ‘your wife’s rabasaki’, there was no rabasaki of my wife… The recruitment manager of KEELPNO was called Eugenia Manolidou, she found the piece of paper and started cursing me. Employees were solemnly dismissed for political reasons. Polakis as a minister shouted ‘I will melt you’ to the president of the workers and the director of personnel if they did not do what he wanted. The court didn’t just say the workers were innocent, it said there was no crime. Polakis thinks that the rest of Greece are Kasselakis who are afraid of him Because he is bowling to Kasselakis and has him in his hands. KEELPNO is obliged to rehire the 4 workers by giving them all the wages, benefits and gifts they should have received with interest. We will implement the decision, we will rehire them, we will pay them and we will allocate this money to the then members of the Board of Directors who voted for their dismissal and we will file a lawsuit and they will go from their personal property who illegally voted for the dismissal to do for the sake of Polakis” .

Adonis Georgiadis estimated that Mr. Kasselakis is a hostage of Polakis and Pappas. “Pappas does everything. Pappas is the master mind there. Kasselakis hardly understands any of this… Pappas does, he saved Polakis from 100% deletion last year. There in Sounio, where Tsipras takes nice baths, he will think how much Pappas has done for him. Detain Polakis who curses Tsipras all day. Kasselakis who talks about “black money of Tsipras” was elected by Polakis and Pappas. Pappas is a genius in a depraved way the only one with a brain in there. Kasselakis is right on one point when he says ‘I wake up sometimes at 8, sometimes at 87, sometimes at 53…’ this is not a comma, it’s a trill, it’s a joker. I doubt if it has anything to do with the Left, it’s something vague, a strange thing, a mixture of Kazakhs, ANEL, old SYRIZA… I don’t rule out Polakis becoming leader, it’s possible. If this is done, it will cleanse Pappa. There will be a big Pappas-Polakis cleanup, and Polakis will clean Pappa like an egg.”
