New Democracy parliamentary sources commenting on the opposition’s stance on the debate in the House of Representatives of PASOK’s proposals and SYRIZA-New Left for the establishment of a pre-trial committee against former Rural Development Ministers Maki Voridis and Lefteris Augenakis:

“The position of the New Democracy, as expressed by the Prime Minister and President of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, was clear and clear. Since the establishment of an Inquiry Committee has been approved, the debate on the pre -trial investigation has been approved. For this reason, the Prime Minister was asked to withdraw yesterday’s debate to withdraw the two proposals and the vote in favor of the New Democracy proposal for a setting up an Inquiry Committee. And this is because it is quite clear that it is the only procedure that can enlighten the in -depth investigation of the OPECEPE case. After all, after a thorough study of the case files and from today’s debate, it is clear that there is no evidence required for the establishment of a pre -trial committee. The parliamentary majority was concerned about whether it should participate in the vote process, but after today’s parody of opposition parties decided that the vote would eventually participate in the quorum necessary to ensure the vote and end its unacceptable stance. For the first time, even the parties who have submitted the proposals under discussion left in the parliamentary time. Proof that all they care about is not exploring truth but cheap populism and impressions.

The New Democracy always functions as a responsible political force against an opposition that is only interested in cheap games and small -party aspirations, indifferent to the essence of the OPECEPE case and the operation of the House. “
