When the prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis described her case early Friday morning from Brussels Mr Spirakis “very serious”, about which he will be fully informed in Athens, it seemed that he was close to making his decisions and the question with the MEPs was not going to remain unanswered.

At the point in time when Cathargate shakes the European edifice and creates bad associations for the entire political system, the prime minister could not allow a moral question to hover over his faction at a time when the opposition had shown their intentions to “lift him up” by demanding the MEP’s expulsion.

Yesterday at Maximos’ “morning coffee” this issue was discussed in detail. Mr. Mitsotakis’s decision, almost reached, was “blocked” forever, as indeed there are gaps that need to be answered in relation to how the MEP Maria Spirakis acted, who allegedly gave an allowance to her partner in the period 2015-2019, in while he himself was in Athens, which led to the fact that the competent European prosecutor demanded that her immunity be removed. MEPs receive an annual allowance of 22,000 euros for their employees and distribute it according to how many they choose to work in their office.

Case for New Democracy has three important branches:

First of all, not affiliated with Qatargate, came at a time when the atmosphere was especially bad for system parties. The fact that while Kylie’s case monopolized interest, the head of the National Democratic Party suddenly intervened in the frame, even on a less serious case, caused Maximos reasonable annoyance.

Secondlyshifts the agenda as the government was in full attack on Androulakis, Kylie and corruption, it is also forced to answer for the actions of the ND MEP, despite the initiative of Mitsotakis to suspend his party status and not be a candidate “before the matter is cleared up” gives a strong argument to the government side that “she acted immediately”.

Department of Justice

thirdless important, but no less important, is that the most likely scenario, according to Brussels sources who know the timing of justice, is that Ms. from six months to one year. Of course, the MEP will push for a faster decision to get ahead of the election, but there is no certainty that she will succeed, which also creates a problem on the ballots in Thessaloniki, in which Ms Spiraki signaled an extension.

As for the rest, yesterday the prime minister was preparing for an all-out conflict with the head of the axe. opposition leader Alexis Tsipras is in parliament today. Maximou is confident that Mr. Tsipras will act militarily, focusing on the issue of wiretapping, as well as Ms. Spirakis. “The prime minister, if he is challenged, will respond in the same style,” government sources indicated “K”actually foreshadowing a very heated debate.
