No update for Thraceoral or written, it had not been done towards SYRIZA by the government before the elections, party sources claimwho note at the same time, that “after the elections, the Office of the President of ND sent an EYP bulletin to the office of the President of SYRIZA-PS with selective information on all minority candidate MPs in Thrace”

The same party sources state that “because many lies are being circulated we clarify the following:

Firstly there was no oral or written information on the subject of Thrace by the Government before the elections as falsely reported by Mr Skertsos and claimed in the media.

Secondly there was never any discussion or verbal communication with Mr Gerapetritis or any other ND executive and the office of the President for Thrace.

Thirdly, after the elections, the Office of the President of the ND sent an EYP leaflet to the office of the President of SYRIZA-PS with selective information on all the minority parliamentary candidates in Thrace”.

The sources of Koumoundourou conclude: “As the President of SYRIZA-PS pointed out yesterday to the interim Prime Minister, we we are never going to instrumentalize EYP leaking information that has been cut and sewn to fit us as the New Democracy does for vote-seeking reasons. We did not do this in the period 2015-2019 as a government and we will not play this game today, with information about the extensive pre-election contacts of ND officials with the Turkish consulate and the pseudo-mufti. Dealing with the Turkish influence in Thrace is not done by repeating the tyrannical practices of the past and asking for certificates of sanity and statements of remorse, but by shielding equality and equality in the region.”
