“At a time when the agricultural world is anxious about its future, the “powerful system” and the climate of terror that it has imposed within OPEKEPE during the Mitsotakis administration are revealed daily, live broadcast” SYRIZA-PS sources report and continue: “As can be seen from the answers of Paraskevi Tycheropoulou, former head of the Directorate of Direct Aid and Market OPEKEPE, in the questions of the rapporteur of SYRIZA-PS, Vassilis Kokkalis, during the ministry of Georgantas, the institutional framework was formed (through a Ministerial Decision) so that those who had declared pastures with fake supporting documents could be “washed away” by simply declaring 100 animals and a turnover of only 2,000 euros! This was just one of the “tools” that the governments of the ND, constantly distorting the Technical Solution, provided to the criminal “circuit” that has been continuously, from 2019 until today, the European subsidies. According to Mrs. Tycheropoulou, the “circle” had immediate information from the “blue” administrations about what was happening in the Organization. “Was the life of the employee, Mr. Kalliouris, who made the complaint about Crete, threatened? The organization is covered in fear. […] Mr. Kalliouris made the complaint to the administration and the circuit was informed immediately.

As SYRIZA sources state, “Ms. Tycheropoulou supported what all of Greece now knows: the former ND ministers knew exactly the situation. As she noted:[…] and Avgenakis knew it. I had seen him once when he took over. And he told me that he neither knows me nor wants to know me. Tsiaras had told me: ‘If I sign your delegation, it’s like you’re justified’. I had not informed Mr. Voridis, we had not cooperated”. The witness also revealed that Mr. Tsiaras refused to sign her referral to the Prosecutor’s Office, while he urged her to… “go abroad”. At the time when it became clear “how important a factor he is in OPEKEPE”, Xylouris, i.e. the one known by the nickname “Frapes”, a senior official of the New Democracy in Crete, party leader of Lefteris Avgenakis, in whose possession the Anti-Money Laundering Authority unreasonably found 2.5 million euros and a Jaguar, as well as seven more cars”.

The sources of SYRIZA remind that, “so far, “Frapes”, as well as “Hasapis”, but also the “lady with the Ferrari”, have not been called to testify at the Commission of Inquiry, under the sole responsibility of the governing majority. “Xylouris had reached the point where he found my home landline. He spoke to my children”, the shocking complaint of Mrs. Tycheropoulou, indicative of the climate of terror that has prevailed during ND governments in OPEKEPE”.

According to the same sources, “Paraskevi Tycheropoulou claimed that in June ’23 she received “unbearable pressure” for the reserved VAT numbers. “That’s when Xylouris started visiting the Organization”, as he said and spoke of unbearable pressure on behalf of Kyriakos Babasidis, so that the frozen Tax IDs of the Xylouris family were paid, even though they had not provided the necessary supporting documents. The 100% “blue” Kyriakos Babasidis, we remind you, was a ND MEP candidate in 1999, a ND parliamentary candidate in the Prefecture of Rodopi in 2007, a member of the ND Central Committee (2001-2004 and 2007-2010), coordinator of the ND Political Planning Strategy Department (2010-2012) and in January 2024, by decision Avgenakis, was appointed president of OPEKEPE. However, Mrs. Tycheropoulou did not answer what happened to the information document that she had sent to the administration of the organization, according to which Aikaterini Xylouris declared two olive groves in Chios, to the point where there were no olives, and Vasilios Xylouris two estates in Paros of 211 acres, in a forested area! From her testimony, it emerges that the “circle” has a mastermind, and he is none other than the political leadership, throughout the Mitsotakis government,” the SYRIZA sources conclude.
