“Despite the timelessness and interference of the problem of agricultural subsidies, political responsibilities were recognized and assumed by the government,” the Deputy Minister said under the prime minister. Thanasis Kontogeorgisin an interview with ERT1. While he then specialized in the ways in which the responsibility was made: ‘The first concerns the problem with his root, with his subordination OPECEPE in AADE, in order to transparen on the payment of compensation – and this is under the approval of the European Commission. There has been an agreement on this so that we do not have other problems in the future. ” And, at the same time, “with the self -evident and urgent need to recover the illegally paid amounts to illegal beneficiaries, a process that will begin next. At the same time yesterday’s resignations of the four members of the government highlight the assumption and recognition of political responsibility, which is always more widespread than criminal responsibility. “

According to Th. Kontogeorgis, “there are issues that arise serious concern and impressions, and can tarnish an effort. Political responsibility must be taken at the right time and in the appropriate way, so that citizens feel that politics sets the example. “

While reiterating the distinction between broader political responsibility and criminal liability, he noted: “For such a large case file with many extensions and persons, it takes time to reach conclusions. But the talks that saw the light of publicity apparently gave birth to reflection and impressions, in which there was a response from former colleagues who until recently were in government. In these cases, we must also operate with the necessary social reflexes, “he said, and continued:” We need a complete perception of the facts, which or not some criminal responsibilities are based on – from there on, in the appropriate institutional way that the seriousness of the issue imposes. “

Especially for Makis Voridis, he said that “if PASOK will proceed with the proposal to set up a pre -trial committee, obviously the minister will also want to support his innocence within Parliament.” Therefore, “we will see these over time, the time will not be long, during which we will have a complete perception of these issues and there will be appropriate institutional movements accordingly, of course, and with whatever the case is sent to Parliament.”

Regarding the developments of the next 24 hours, the Deputy Minister under the Prime Minister said that “there will be a position of the Prime Minister, which I cannot predict. It will not be too late for the replacements to move on to work. “

However, the deputy minister also said: “We are called upon to pay a post -political account -and this has to do with mentality, with corruption outbreaks that have been in the Greek public administration over time.” He pointed out that “this is the government, which has also made moves on the front of illegal electronic hyper -protection, in corruption circuits in construction services in Mykonos and more. Areas, on corruption issues that have been in tax offices. Therefore, the will is clear and we will insist very much in it. ” On the other hand, he added, “recovering confidence in the political system goes through the fight against corruption.”

Speaking, too, about reforms that are not “the most liked” to some, he referred to “a great effort on the front of tax justice (which) produces results and the dividend of growth created is returned to society. We on the same road will continue, in the context of imposing legality and at the same time the necessary changes. ” With the aim, he added, “those who have hurt us, not to continue to afflict our fellow citizens.”

However, in response to the opposition criticism of OPEKEPE, in addition to the argument of inter -party interview at the beginning of the interview, he added, to this point, the fact that “the case files are also referred to by other political spaces”, also that “the fine, which was imposed in the country”.

However, the Deputy Minister, rather than the Prime Minister, closing, sent the message, “we will operate in the context of the consolidation of agricultural subsidies, there must be justice in the rural world, that is what everyone can understand. At the same time, the maximum possible effort will be made so that those who were illegally paid will return to where they need it. “

In another issue of the current – Turkish -tired Memorandum, an increase in migratory flows – after observing that they are issues raised at the recent summit, he assured that “our country exercises sovereign rights – and obviously this is causing reactions.” “It is this government that ended the EEZ issues with Egypt and Italy, has expanded the territorial waters. We have a policy of principles of the principles of international law. We also call on the other countries for that. We do not recognize the Turkolibyy Memorandum, as the European Union does not recognize it, based on the announcements yesterday, ”he said.

While in relation to immigration, “this corridor that goes to make from Libya must stop. This has become clear in all tones, and at European level. It is no coincidence, after all, that the Commissioner for Migration in the coming days with the relevant ministers from Italy, Greece and Malta will visit the eastern and western Libya, “said Th. Which (ships) “will work deterrently and based on the rules of involvement. It is, however, a message – in addition to the substance – that we will not allow this corridor to be embedded that some traffickers go to create. But this is now a European decision, so there will be a joint action in this area. “

Called to comment on what happened at the recent NATO meeting, he said: “We are watching developments without complacency, without fear and confident. The multilateral diplomacy that our country has developed produces results. ” While specifically for Greek -Turkish relations, he stressed: “It takes a debate with Turkey on well -known issues, the dividing lines are clear and the Greek foreign policy is doing what it needs to safeguard our country’s sovereign interests.”
