PASOK-Kostas Tsoukalas spokesman Costas Tsoukalas spoke of “disseminating” and “absolute cure” about the reputation of the country and its institutions, speaking to Real FM 97.8, about the new fine of the Commission to the detriment of Greece for Greece OPECEPE.

“Here we have a fine of 415.051.036.74 euros for the 2017-2023 period. But what is the basic? The total fine imposed by the European Commission by its decision yesterday is EUR 532,686,740.31 distributed in all Member States of the European Union. So 78% of the total amount is in our country, “he said. He noted that “this is a cross -section and a complete slide for the country’s reputation and institutions” and asked the question: “Does the government not feel the need to say anything about the issue?” “Obviously the previous government has a great responsibility for what is happening but today’s we have made us look like champions in mismanagement and sanctions from European institutions,” he added.

About the attitude of PASOK On this issue he stressed that “we – as our president has said – will do everything to clarify the case”. “Let us not forget that taxpayers pay these fines,” he commented, adding: “But – because the European Public Prosecutor’s Investigation is still underway and as we have done in all cases – when the file comes, after the acts of the Institutions of Institutions, we are in the process of acting.” “We do not go ahead to impress, we are just moving on to be effective in the institutional control we are in charge. Both the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and the fines that see the light prove that there was a mechanism that had political coverage, “he said, while asking about the establishment of OPECEPE pre -trial committee emphasized:” It is important to make impressions by making use of a tool that gives you the constitution. There must be the elements that may result in adequate control. “

Finally, Mr Tsoukalas argued that “there is a generalized picture of the decline of the government”. “I saw Mr Marinakis’ interview today at SKAI and I realized that there was fierce criticism of Mrs Jima about her interview with Ms. Karystianou yesterday. I have never seen there before the government spokesman about how a journalist should do his job and either straighten the timing of the interview or say that other things should be asked, “he said. He stressed about the content of the aforementioned interview that “these are issues that must be resolved by justice” and “if there is a complaint then justice must be dealt with in order to draw the necessary conclusions”.
