In a strong conflicting climate, the political controversy over the OPEKEPE case is evolving in view of critical voting in Parliament for the establishment of an Inquiry Committee.

Government spokesman, Pavlos Marinakis, defended the position of government in favor of the examination rather than the pre -trial committee, launching a severe attack on PASOK and other opposition parties, which he accused of hypocrisy and political expediency.

Mr Marinakis pointed out that so far there is no serious evidence to be criminalized and that the government supports transparency, but without political expediency. “We will finally see if there are any evidence because so far there are no serious evidence not exist“, He said, leaving PASOK’s proposal to set up a pre -trial committee.

“In any case, it is fun to shake the finger of the parties that left a few days ago. Before the ND attitude is well announced, they accuse us of we can do what they have done. We are talking about absolute hypocrisy. They have the boldness before the announcement of our place to shake our finger. And hasty and hypocrites, “he added.

Asked if the ND fears any leaks in the House vote for a preliminary investigation, he replied “we are absolutely not afraid” and that “everything will be announced and explained in time”.

At the same time, it did not rule out the possibility of new revelations about PASOK executives, especially in terms of organic certifications.

Answering another question whether Mr. Voridis and Avgenakis in the discussion of examining examination, Mr. Marinakis said they have already spoken many times and “I imagine they will talk on Wednesday because some parties blame them ».

In the accusations that the government rejects the European Public Prosecutor’s case file, Mr Marinakis emphasized that the procedure is provided for by Article 86 of the Constitution and that the cases are being investigated without interference.

Citing statistics, he pointed out that Greece is no exception to the European context, as the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating thousands of cases in 24 countries. “The government does not reject any file. Because the narrative comes back that there is a prosecution in Europe that deals only with Greece, I have found the cases it is investigating throughout Europe. In a total of 24 countries, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating 2,666 cases. 84 In Greece, 25 of which relate to agricultural programs. Italy, 764 cases. Germany 295 cases, Romania 380 cases, “Mr Marinakis said and reported relevant data to other countries. “The European Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating any complaint that is taken into account. Huge distance from the point that our country is in the eye of the cyclone. Let there be calm. Don’t fool the world, “he added.

For the video of PASOK’s spokesman

“We look forward to a PASOK video on organic certifications. And another PASOK executive who seems to be involved. Unless PASOK wants to wait for other executives to come out and make a comprehensive video with executives, Mr. Androulakis’ associates who seem to be involved. Probably, so he was in a hurry to submit a proposal for pre -trial. The one who has something to fear is shouting. Think of a series of announcements as an excuse PASOK uses the technical solution. He asks the ministers to be referred to a felony because they consent to the technical solution but justify those who got money based on the technical solution. I think Mr Androulakis’ PASOK is evolving into a party that has lost any sense of logic. “

Reply PASOK

PASOK’s reaction was immediate and particularly sharp. In a statement from the Press Office, the government spokesman is accused of distorting the truth, stressing that PASOK’s proposal for pre -criticism was tabled before that of the ND for examination. At the same time, there is talk of the responsibilities of specific ministers, such as Mr Voridis and Avgenakis, in the payment of subsidies and in the management of the national stock.

The announcement of the Press Office

The Inquiry Committee is submitted to the Protocol of the Office of the President of the House and not in the Press Secretariat. In this case, the New Democracy’s proposal to set up a Inquiry Committee was submitted on July 16, while PASOK’s proposal for a pre -trial committee on July 15. Lies for the obvious, Mr. Marinakis?

-M. Marinakis argues that the government “respects” the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, saying in the same phrase that it is … “legally perforated” its finding, which on the basis of its rationale for superior Union law, includes in the case file that sent it to the House of Representatives and with which it is sent to the House of Representatives. OPECEPE.

The New Democracy government and personally the prime minister is blocking the investigation of justice and writing the shoes in their old days by giving the limitation to Mr Voridis and the amusement to Mr Avgenakis.
PS And because PASOK is looking forward to the videos, we will give him a foresight: the next one will include that the use of M. Voridis ministry has fired the use of pasture to receive a national reserve reaching 5 times higher than 2018 and that Mr Avgenakis unbuttoned thousands of “red”. For Fact Checking he can address the former OPEKEPE President, Mr. Varra, who works at the Maximus Palace.
