Reply to the acute criticism launched by Evangelos Venizelos against the government for its stance on yesterday’s procedure in Parliament In the discussion of the recommendationfor the case of OPECEPEgave the government spokesman, Paul Marinakis.

“Mr Venizelos is wrong, they do not apply what he says. It mistakenly confuses the quorum with the required majority to make a decision. The Constitution contains no quorum rule in the House, beyond the minimum threshold of 75 Members of Parliament. There are different majorities required. Yesterday’s majority wanted a strict majority of 151 Members. To vote in favor of a proposal it takes 151 Members to vote “yes”. Yesterday, we had a quorum, but we had no majority so the proposals were not voted in. So there is no question of invalidity. The Constitution is clear. There are different forecasts for a majority, not quorum »Mr. Marinakis initially said.

Concerning the issue of lettering that Mr Venizelos also demonstrated, the government spokesman said that “We had 57 cases of registered voters after the election”. 22% of ND MPs 42% of PASOK MPs of Mr Venizelos voted by letter voting, Mr Marinakis added. “I find the analysis of Venizelos incorrect, if one looks at the Constitution and the Rules of Procedure, he will understand that nothing stands »he ended up.

“Androulakis’s discourse and heartbreaking monument”

At the same time, Mr. Marinakis also talked about the moments of tension at Parliament In the discussion and vote on the proposal of opposition parties for recommendation pre -trial committee.

Answering a question, the government spokesman turned his “arrows” against Nikos Androulakis on the content of his speech, stating that “If there was ever a documentary to describe the pathogens of post -Greece Greece, which intensified in the 1980s with intense green elements, it could have this aversion to Mr Androulakis as a summary. “

“Mr. Androulakis said that the producers used to get more than they had to get, but they were taking them themselves. Now he said they were getting more, but they were giving them into black political money. Obviously, to say so, it seems that he has many friends and associate members of his party in this broader story justified by the technical solution. “

“It is a heartbreaking position, indicative of the mentality of PASOK and Mr. Androulakis, a monument of cynicism, and I consider it in no way expressing this political space, which especially in recent years before Mr. Androulakis, stood on the right side of history. Does not express this PASOK MPs’, emphasized.

“We didn’t leave. They accused us of leaving and leaving. We were there and voted, some with a letter vote, some live“, Then the government spokesman said.

“Who is the one who makes a coup against institutions? However, not the government majority“Said Mr Marinakis, who said the opposition has exceeded any logic limit. “Indeed, it was not a good day in the House yesterday. We said that once the examination is voted on, the pre -trial is missing. Instead of withdrawing their proposal, they withdrew the Members. “he added.

Asked if there is a crisis inside the New Democracy, the government spokesman replied:

“On the contrary. It is the most lazy parliamentary group. In terms of durability and the whole of the whole is unprecedented in post -political time. “
