“Our proper management in migration has moved the pressure to Libya”, The Minister of Immigration and Asylum reported Makis Voridisspeaking to SKAI, about the large increase in migratory flows, and revealed that there are thoughts about suspension of asylumif the flows are not reduced. At the same time, referring to the scandal of OPECEPEnoted that he is checked for a signature.

“We will strengthen European initiative to be with Europe, all together in order to have a total and single arrangement,” Mr. Voridis initially mentioned, while for the Internal Management of Migrationnoted that ‘If we do not see effectively decrease in flows, it is It is very likely to consider asylum suspensionwe will not consider asylum and therefore go directly to a logic that will (the immigrants) come into pre -departure centers and are held there to return. ” “That’s what I will see in the next few days”he stressed.

For the Turkish Memorandum, he commented on how “I don’t know if it could be overturned, it’s a bilateral agreement. I don’t know what opportunities were. What we say that because it violates international law, it is not a strong agreement. ”

For the OPECEPE scandal and the case file of European Prosecutor’s Office forwarded to Parliament, Mr Voridis said that “I received the copy and saw data in the case”.

And noted:

“When the European Public Prosecutor’s Office had announced, I had said that you, the citizens, do not know what I have done and what I haven’t done. And it makes sense for everyone to have their suspicions, their reservations, their concerns. But I know what I’ve done. I had said then, without seeing the case file, that there is nothing epileptic. Than yesterday i am more relievedbecause what had seen in the light of publicity as a more predominantly auditor is all that exists in the case file. It is a decision of the OPEKEPE administration since 2019 to make a pasture distribution in which I have written the word ” I agree ”. That’s it.

The administration of OPEKEPE applies every year since 2015 onwards a ministerial decision called the technical solution for the allocation of pastures, the so -called national reserve.

At that time I had taken two months. In the two months I had pleased and served people I can say, the administration that SYRIZA had, to stay to make payments. I did not want to replace OPECEPE’s administration immediately because I wanted to have a smooth payment of the aid. People because they don’t know me wanted the agreement of mine to make the payment so I gave my agreement.

I check for this signature. This is the issue I have. Nothing else. There is no consent, there is no conversation, there is no mandate, there is no communication with OPECEPE administration to give money to commit to VAT IDs. There is no conversation with any farmer, private, farmer, no remittance.

This decision of allocation is a ministerial decision, it is not my ministerial decision, it is a previous government. I apply a regulatory framework. If one considers that the implementation of a regulatory framework is a criminal offense, it overcomes me, I can no longer evaluate it. ”

To a question Why did he ask for the resignation of Gregory Varra, former OPECEPE president said: “Asking a resignation as a minister cannot be a criminal offense. Is this infidelity? The case file says that I asked Mr Varra’s resignation and his objections, his opinion because I asked for his resignation. I never asked Mr Varra and he does not say that himself. He says a lot, about his views, how things were done, whether or not there were or no circuits. If a public issue arises about this (for his resignation) I will say the reasons, it makes no sense now, because man has not said anything. But it has nothing to do with pastures, it has nothing to do with the VAT Commitments.

One of the reasons he himself mentions is that we had a specific issue concerning the terms a notice for the technical council. This was the discussion we had between us. To have a technical advisor, I was saying, to ensure his experience, so that he can pay the aid, so as not to create a problem. Mr Varras thought this competition could open. I was in favor of opening up but at the same time I wanted to get in the way of experience, because it’s a difficult thing, a technical work and demanding. ”

Finally, to a question about the If a resignation issue is raised His immigration minister stressed that “Recipient of my point is parliament. What will the parliamentary majority is decisive for me. I imagine there will be a request for an Inquiry Committee. ”
