There is no discussion about changing the electoral law, said government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis today when asked to comment – during the briefing for political editors – on relevant statements by Adonis Georgiadis on possible changes so as not to “Italianize” the Greek political scene.

For the migratory and the increase in flows, he said that it is a given that Greece has the best treatment of the problem compared to the rest of Europe, and the government’s policy is successful.

This does not mean – as he said – that there is no problem, but he added that the big picture is that out of 93,000 residents in the country, today we have 20,000 and the structures were once favelas while today they are modern and humane. The cooperation with Turkey leads to dealing with a network of smugglers, he added.

Asked about the episode with her Chair of Philosophy at NSPA who complained that trikes were thrown at her, and the image at the universities, Mr. Marinakis said that it is self-evident to condemn any such attack. These people represent the worst form of fascism, the government spokesman said, adding that every time there is such an incident, the police intervene, which rightly highlights these events.

He also said that until a few years ago “we did not understand when we heard about occupation” and underlined that “we did not promise that criminals will stop committing crimes. This doesn’t happen anywhere in the world.”

He added that offenders will continue to commit illegalities in universities, but their actions will have consequences and their arrest will not mean release the next day while he concluded by saying that those who see that the times of indecency have stopped are playing their change.

When asked about a statement by the Deputy Minister of Transport, Mr. Economou, that train drivers are lying about railway safety and going on strike, he said that it does not mean that every allegation in a strike is de facto true. The minister responsible for the matter knows – he said – which of the complaints of the workers are true and valid.

He expressed his agreement with the reactions to the projection of a drag show at the “Michalis Kakogiannis” Foundation as part of the 2nd Intercultural Festival entitled “A Big World” which takes place from the 27th to the 29th of the month which is under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, and he said that patronage should not be given haphazardly and without control.

He also said that there were a number of requests under the “Creative Greece” program that were evaluated by the “then deputy minister of culture” and approval was given after a positive recommendation by the Commission that did not accompany the detailed program. He added that an exhaustive check should be carried out and estimated that the citizens’ reactions were not excessive.

For the occasions Avgenaki and Salmasaid on the one hand that he does not know if Mr. Avgenakis is returning to ND, while in the case of Mr. Salma he said that he gave answers and that the MP was not deleted because he submitted a question.

Referring to whether the ND is consistent with the founding declaration of Konstantinos Karamanlis, he said that “alas if the ND was not consistent and faithful to the founding declaration” and added that “in the ND – as the prime minister also said – we are all Karamanlis”.

Finally, referring to the two former prime ministers Mr. Karamanlis and Samaras, said that the two former prime ministers have the right to say what they want and the government does not judge their opinions.

He also said on the occasion of a question about ministerial dinners with parliamentarians that the ND is resilient, has learned to converse in the institutions and that “there is no dragon in the fairy tale that says that the former presidents of the ND are something different”.

Finally referring to the criticism of the Minister of Tourism Mr. Olgas Kefalogianni’s spending, he said that there is no issue, but – he noted – the course and presence of a minister is definitely judged by the result. He said another record year was recorded for tourism, but separated the issues by saying that the issue of renovation is not the same as travel to Japan. It is a given that we should pay more attention to the money of Greek citizens, said Mr. Marinakis, and added that the fund for the trip to Japan is one of the ministry’s jobs in important trips, to promote Greece .
