Taking on Saturday his decisions for the replacement of Maki Voridis and the three resigned deputy ministers Due to the case of OPECEPEthe Kyriakos Mitsotakis It closed the pending government with changes, not a strategy. The case, however, is still “active” and creates upheavals within the government and the political system more broadly, so the prime minister is expected today at 12:00, during his introduction to the Cabinetwill emit in high tones.
Tone he gave himself With his post yesterday’s Facebook post and the assumption of government failure in the management of the Organization over the years, until the decision to dismantle and affiliate it is taken to the AADE from the beginning of next year. “We failed. Dialogues that come to light cause indignation and anger. So it’s time to break. Our decision to abolish OPEKEPE by incorporating its functions in AADE, it demonstrates. We have, after all, many successful reforms in critical areas. This is how we will do now, with the same determination and effectiveness, “said Mr Mitsotakis, who is expected to move today. According to government sources, straight self -criticism is a necessary condition, as the ND has now completed six years in power, so citizens are not simply enough to announce new interventions to correct distorted situations.
Mr. Mitsotakis at the same time, as opposed to With yesterday’s placement by the Minister of Rural Development Costas Tsiara who admitted that the budget would be burdened by the case, pledged that those who received subsidies who were not entitled to, they will be called upon to return them. “If we are to be truly European democracy, we cannot tolerate practices that refer, or give the impression that they are referring to transactions for a few crosses,” Mr Mitsotakis insisted, explaining this way and why they were out of the government, Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The decisions on Voridis-Augenaki
In any case, given PASOK’s message that it will move to set up a pre -trial committee, the government is called upon to make decisions for their next steps. To Maki Voridisthe former minister, who was never a “fan of” of “Triantopoulos Model” and is of the opinion that MPs (and especially ND MPs) should judge whether or not they are born for him or not. In other words, Mr Voridis says in all directions that he will either be judged that his criminal liability arises and therefore should not be referred or, if the ND considers to arise, then go to pre -trial to defend himself.
With the information so far protothema.grHowever, the Maximus Palace does not look “warm” for a pre -trial pre -trial, as Mr Voridis will not be found, according to government officials, criminal responsibilities concerning him. In the controversial conversations. In this light and the ND does not intend to submit its own proposal concerning Mr Voridis, but is expected to argue on the PASOK proposal that can be supported by other opposition parties.
For the government, however, there is also the part of the former minister Lefteris Avgenakis. Mr. Avgenakis says in all his tones that there is no aggravating evidence in the case of the former OPECEPE commander, Vangelis. The evaluation of the Maximus Grand from all the talks remains to be seen to see if it will go “pack” with Mr Voridis or otherwise evaluated.
The ‘Little Recovery Fund’
In this context, however, the Maximus Palace is trying to “feed” the positive agenda, with benefits. Today the cabinet will be presented by the Vice President of the Government, Kostis Hatzidakisand the Minister of the Environment, Stavros Papastavrouthe activation of 3 new funds, approximately 10 billion: the Climate fundthe Modernization fund and Infraction Fund.
We are essentially talking about a “new RRF”, with a smaller budget but a similar footprint with the recovery and resilience fund as it comes in addition to supporting vulnerable households, very small businesses, as well as to upgrade critical infrastructures and sectors of the economy. At the center is the treatment of social and geographical inequalities that may be intensified by the extension of the application of “carbon tax” to emissions released by the use of fossil fuels for heating in buildings and road transport.
