His own response to the accusations attributed to him PASOK, SYRIZA and New Left is given by the former Minister Makis Voridisby posting on X after the proposals for a pre -trial case in the OPECEPE case.

As he commented, among other things, “two of the actions I am attributed to me are alleged to have been performed in 2021, that is, at a time when I was not Minister of Rural Development and Food.” Concerning the request for Mr Varra’s resignation, he stresses that “if it is a felony to seek the resignation of a subordinate, then this category needs a lot of fictional imagination to explain.”

Makis Voridis also comments that my “” crime “is that I have agreed with OPEKEPE’s service to implement a ministerial decision, that of the technical solution, and that I demanded the resignation of the President of the Organization. These are the “offenses” that are attributed to me. “

Borides’ post

“A first, brief comment on those of PASOK, SYRIZA and the New Left:

(A) Two of the acts attributed to me are alleged to have been committed in 2021 – that is, at a time when I was not Minister of Rural Development and Food. Therefore, any further commentary is unnecessary. How is it possible to consider my infidelity as a minister, for acts allegedly committed by state -owned managers while not even having the ministerial status?

(B) I am also attributed to me as synergy with infidelity that I have signed, agreeing to the proposal of the then OPECEPE administration – appointed by SYRIZA – on the proposal of the allocation of the pasture, in the execution of a ministerial decision of SYRIZA. And today, I am accused by SYRIZA himself.

In essence of the category: The distribution was made on the basis of a ministerial decision and is absolutely legal. More of this will be said during the forthcoming debate in Parliament. However, I wonder: How can it be synergy with infidelity by consenting to the implementation of a legitimate regulatory ministerial decision?

C) Finally, I am accused of asking Mr Vara’s resignation. If it is now considered a felony to seek the resignation of a subordinate, then this category needs a lot of fictional imagination to explain.

In conclusion, my “crime” is that I have agreed with OPECEPE’s recommendation to implement a ministerial decision, that of the technical solution, and that I requested the resignation of the President of the Organization. These are the “offenses” that are attributed to me.

I will come back with all the necessary legal and political arguments, when I need to. However, it is clear that these objections are fully justified by the New Democracy’s position on the sake of non -existence of criminal liability. “
