With a sharp post on social media, the deputy minister in addition to the prime minister and government representative Pavlos Marinakis blamed it PASOK that in yesterday’s vote on the Bill of the Ministry of the Interior, regarding the acceleration of recruitment through the ASEP, he chose to return to the “path of denial, even for arrangements that are self-evident despite the change of page”.

“Probably, the recently re-elected Mr. Androulakis does not consider it useful the reduction of the deadlines that will speed up recruitment through ASEP, the speed in gathering supporting documents through interoperability, the reinforcement with personnel from remote, island and mountainous areas, the increased allocation for these areas and the prioritization of our fellow citizens with disabilities”, as Mr. Marinakis added, to conclude:

“Our only hope is that this first sample of Mr. Androulakis’ renewed term as PASOK’s president will not be a harbinger of a second term whose title will be “in the same project, viewers”.

The statement of Pavlos Marinakis in detail:

In yesterday’s vote on the Ministry of the Interior Bill, regarding the acceleration of recruitment through the ASEP and the establishment of a system of incentives and rewards for civil servants, PASOK, despite the “page change”, chose to return to path of denial, even for self-evident arrangements.

Politics are policies, not slogans. We are all judged daily by citizens for our actions and not for our words.
Rather, the recently re-elected Mr. Androulakis does not consider it useful the reduction of the deadlines that will speed up recruitment through ASEP, the speed in gathering supporting documents through interoperability, the reinforcement with staff from remote, island and mountainous areas, the increased allocation for these areas and the prioritization of our fellow citizens with disabilities.

Perhaps he considers it more important to vote against a bill in order to later criticize the Government for delays in recruitment.

Such a pretentious refusal is -unfortunately- a favorite tactic of PASOK, as we have seen in the bills for the establishment of non-state-non-profit departments of foreign HEIs in Greece, or for the postal vote.

Our only hope is that this first sample of Mr. Androulakis’ renewed term as PASOK’s president will not be a harbinger of a second term whose title will be “in the same project, viewers”.
