New reactions in the government camps were caused by the announcement of the press representative of PASOK, Kostas Tsoukalaswho had earlier responded to the objections of the government representative Pavlos Marinakis on the occasion of his visit Nikos Androulakis at ASEP and his comments about hiring delays.

“The new press representative of PASOK, in a statement, adopted all the bad practices of an irresponsible opposition, first and foremost the formulation of lies, which are disproved with a simple visit to the website of the Hellenic Parliament,” state sources, adding:

“History has written that PASOK voted against a bill on principle that dealt with key issues for the operation and effectiveness of ASEP. But even on the articles, Mr. Androulakis’s party did not vote, among many other things, for the increase in locality quotas for all mountainous and island municipalities, but also for the increased right of permanent residents to occupy the permanent positions as a priority personnel available on the islands’.

“PASOK’s right to choose the path of “no to everything”, even to what everyone agrees is in the interest of every citizen from one end of the country to the other. On the contrary, to try to justify his attitude in retrospect, presenting black as white, refers to times that we all want to leave behind” they conclude.

Tsoukalas: When we talk about meritocracy, transparency and good administration, society definitely does not believe Mitsotakis

“When we talk about institutions, meritocracy and user administration, the Greek society definitely does not believe Mr. Mitsotakis”, the press representative of PASOK – Movement for Change, Kostas Tsoukalas, had told the government earlier.

“The government representative, in his anxiety to justify the government’s failure in matters of transparency and meritocracy, was caught unread,” Mr. Tsoukalas noted, stressing that “PASOK voted for every provision, which served to facilitate recruitment.”

“Can Mr. Marinakis answer why 32 amendments were needed to the 2021 law, which has failed miserably?”, said the PASOK press representative.

To conclude that “when we talk about meritocracy, transparency and good administration, Greek society definitely does not believe Mr. Mitsotakis”.
