The bill providing for “the ratification of the Accession Protocol to the Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States on the one hand, and Colombia and Peru on the other, shall take into account the accession of Ecuador”. , recorded first abstention SYRIZAby a vote of the Parliament, after the relevant Statement by opposition leader Alexis Tsipras, earlier today, at Zappeio Megaro.

During the drafting of the bill by the competent parliamentary committee this afternoon, minority rapporteur Theodora Tsakri said that the agreement was proposed by “a government that, as a result of the unrepentant unconstitutional behavior of its leader, was delegitimizing in practice, and led us to the decision to horizontally withdraw from voting on any bill , except for one that concerns the preservation of the declared fascist forces outside the electoral process.

Varvitsiotis: SYRIZA turns its back on democratic institutions

Commenting on this decision of SYRIZA, the current deputy. Minister of Foreign Affairs Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, he said it overturns a decision by the dominant parliament last week that rejected a vote of no confidence in the government, that there are no parliamentary debates that do not end in a vote, and not participating in them “essentially turned your back to democratic institutions” and that the way SYRIZA is doing politics, “suggests N.D. very excellent services. This creates a need for the citizen to maintain stability in the country and have a safe and certain result in the polls to give independence to Kyriakos Mitsotakis.”

Loverdos: PASOK is not being blackmailed

In the context of the same meeting and in connection with the statements of the representative of SYRIZA, Popis Tsapanidou, MP of the PASOK-Movement for Change, Andreas Loverdos, stated that “PASOK is not blackmailed by anyone and for anyone. The statements made against the leader of our faction, with the remaining insinuations, are unacceptable, unacceptable and reprehensible.” And he added: “Syriza chose a very bad path ahead of the elections. They are used to turning any political battlefield into mud. And this time we confront them with force.”

“Shots” by Katrugalos in PASOK

For its part, the deputy SYRIZA-PS, George Katrugalos, he said that “the outrageous things I’ve been hearing recently, both about the atomized ones and what I’ve heard today, are an attempt that I don’t think is fair.” Those PASOK leaders who want to cooperate with ND, instead of talking about it directly and supporting the political reasons why they think it should be done, use this indirect and, in my opinion, subversive way of conducting democratic dialogue.

He even asked his leaders PASOK “Do not undermine the atmosphere in which we must go to the polls, do not use venomous language and, above all, be honest with yourself. You want to go with New Democracy, say it straight out and go.”
