The speakers of SYRIZA, PASOK-KINAL and KKE opened fire on the government after the conclusion of a secret meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency.

In particular, his speaker SYRIZA, George Katrugalosafter the completion of a secret meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency with hearings of persons involved in EYP stated:

“As we predicted, the desperate attempt to cover up and wash away Mr. Mitsotakis’s personal political responsibility also continued in the institutions committee.

Although the government had previously announced that answers would be given to this body in control of EEM, under the guise of secrecy, all government officials present, past and present, refused to provide any clarification on grounds of national security, i.e. this led to surveillance of Mr. Androulakis, or any other matter that was brought up by him.

This is despite the fact that the President of ADAE and the previous governors of the EYP during the Samara-Venizelou and SYRIZA governments have clearly stated that they believe that confidentiality cannot be used on any question asked within the committee of institutions, and have given a categorical refusal. answer that politicians were not followed in their time, despite the subterfuge of the current leaders of the EMP or those who control it.

For this reason, we asked for a vote in the Committee of Institutions to clarify the exact interpretation of Article 43 A, which allows for the control of the EMP, and we said, in fact, with the statement of Mr. Wutsis, when the committee chairman refused to put to a vote that we would proceed to a statement of condemnation of what we consider to be attempts to undo and undermine the parliamentary process and especially the committee of institutions in the context of a general attempt at a cover-up.”

Castanidis: The cover-up operation is massive

Rapporteur PASOK-KINAL Haris Castanidis after the conclusion of a secret meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency with hearings from those associated with the EYP, he stated:

“I express my deep sadness that something unacceptable has happened to the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, which is under the sole responsibility of the government. Supported by the principle of confidentiality, which does not apply to the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, those present at the hearing refused to provide any information about the scandalous cases in recent months involving the chairman of PASOK, journalist Mr. Koukakis. , as well as monitoring the KKE call center.

They denied any information in violation of the Constitution and the law, and the Prime Minister himself, as well as government representatives, assured that they wanted to shed light on this case.

But how can one shed much light when, united in one line, they all come and, for secrecy that does not apply, I repeat, to the Committee of Institutions and Transparency, refuse to provide any information? This is an operation to cover up a huge responsibility.”

Sintihakis: Neither the previous nor the current government took any position on the KKE consensus

KKE Rapporteur Manolis Sintihakis after the conclusion of a secret meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency with hearings from those associated with the EYP, he stated:

“The government and the ruling majority, in the context of the meeting of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, in fact, preferred to hush up the whole matter. All former and current government officials have called for confidentiality. We brought up the topic: everything in the world. Full transparency. public protocols. One-on-one examination. And on topic. Androulakis, intercepted KKE meetings, journalists. They denied it. Everyone’s attitude was a complete cover. Confidentiality. We made it clear that now we need to reveal everything and not only. Reveal all the dark and dangerous institutional structure that all the previous governments that passed these laws and institutional structure are responsible for. At meetings of the KKE, neither the former nor the current one spoke out. On the contrary, they underestimate and devalue the issue of consensus.

In any case, the KKE will fight within the framework of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency and the Investigative Committee so that the knife goes to the bone. We have no illusions about how far things will go, but in any case, we will fight this battle and, above all, for the good of the people.”
