‘The former president of OPECEPEK. Kaprelis, avoided answering the questions asked by the PASOfor the management of European aid, public pasture violations, contract award procedures and the internal operation of the organization, despite its years of term in the organization. Mr Kaprelis’ attitude confirms that OPEKEPE was governed “in the approximately”, without substantial control, without transparency and without accountability. A public organization that manages millions of euros of Community resources operated with sloppy and indifference to its internal structure. “ PASOK sources reported on the occasion of the deposition of Athanasios Kaprelis to the House Inquiry Committee.

“This approach resulted in not being a priority for the then leadership of the Ministry of Rural Development and the administration of Mr Kaprellis to incorporate 8 million acres of eligible pastures with low woody vegetation in implementation of the Omnibus regulation (end of 2017). The result of this oligarchy until 2019-2020 was the launch of a national reserve with grazing without animals of these years » The sources of the opposition were noted and added: “Mr Kaprelis pointed out that his position on the position of OPEKEPE’s president was a political decision of the then Minister of Rural Development, Mr. Apostolou. For the excessive increase in animal statements, Mr Caprellis tried to underestimate it by saying that it was “a little bit pinned” … in the persistent question of PASOK MPs because no judgments and choices of bosses and directors were made from 2011 to 2020, as the law provided, priorities “…”

According to the same sources, “The former president of OPEKEPE revealed that the former technical control director was the one who suggested circular 80895/17.10.2019, which limited the rental inspections solely on the basis of” Law “E9, a measure that led to fictitious statements. As confirmed by internal audit reports on cases of abuse in public pastures, they were not forwarded to justice, but were forwarded by him to the Ministry’s Secretary General and chose to deliver it to the next OPEKEP president and not to deliver them to justice. “
