Frontal political conflict has erupted around the action of ‘Truth Group’with Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis threatening the SYRIZA Bulgarian, Elena Akrita, and the head of the party’s parliamentary group, Socrates Famello, openly accuse the New Democracy of paramilitary practices.
It all started when Elena Akrita commented critically the photo posted by Adonis Georgiadis from a meeting in his office with the creators of the truth, describing it as “a picture of corruption, complication, state authoritarianism and government arbitrariness”. The reaction of the Minister of Health was immediate and aggressive:
“Mrs Akrita, I don’t want to upset you, but everything you write happens exclusively to the realm of your personal imagination. And because life is not a series on TV and you do not speak as an imaginative writer, but as a member of the Greek Parliament, be prepared to come to court to bring us evidence of all the non -existent accusations you are exposing. “
Famellos: “The Truth Group is paramilitary mechanism”
Socrates Famellou’s intervention gave a new dimension to the case, as it targeted the New Democracy directly, accusing the Truth of Public Money Laundry of being “a mechanism of nasty propaganda and character murder”. In his post he characteristically stated:
“The Truth Group is a paramilitary group and paramilitary of the ND of Mitsotakis – Georgiadis, which also acts as a mechanism for vigorous propaganda and the murder of their political opponents. Even the relatives of Tempi. “
Georgiadis by Akrita: “Get ready to come to court for the non -existent charges you are deprived of”
Indeed, Famellos raised a direct issue of illegal funding of the New Democracy through the Truth Group:
“Clearly, a court is required, but with the ND executives controlled and those who launder black political money to fund the New Democracy with public and private money and thus illegally the New Democracy.”
Threats and counterattacks instead of answers
Political confrontation has taken on a frontal conflict, with the New Democracy not substantially responding to the complaints, but choosing the court as a means of political counterattack. Adonis Georgiadis, in another sharp position, commented on Akrita:
“Normally, with this photo, which mirrors your hypocrisy, what should fall is your masks. Normally.”
On the other hand, Socrates Famellos made it clear that the case would not be easily closed, escalating the complaints:
“No tolerance! So here! Because some people think that seriousness is weak and will be flushed on the basis of the proverb ‘the thief shouts to scare the housewife’. “
The stakes of the conflict
The case of the truth group is not a mere party confrontation. If opposition complaints apply, then there is a serious issue of institutional functioning, paramilitary mechanisms and the possible illegal funding of the New Democracy through a mechanism aimed at manipulating public opinion.
The severity of political positions shows that the case will be continued, probably at the judiciary. The question, however, remains: Will there be transparency and accountability or will there be a concealment through the well -known tactics of lawsuits and threats?
Next time it will show whether the political agenda will continue to form the courts or whether there will be substantial review of how mechanisms such as the Truth Group operate and who fund them.
