Loyal to the narrative that the Maximus Palace He is a clearance body and not involved in the OPEKEPE scandal, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis appeared in an interview on ANT1 television. Talked once again about timeless pathogenesis.
The government spokesman argued that this is a 30 -year -old case, noting that “since 1996 Greece has been called upon to pay 2.7 billion in fines”.
He attacked the opposition, describing the opposition as “funny” that the government was “caught with the goat on the back”. On the contrary, he argued that the government did not expect the arrival of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office to take action, but had shown zero tolerance for these phenomena as early as 2019.
“It is obvious that a prime minister has ordered cleansing when his ministers have sent justice centers of reception, OPECEPE administrations, subsidies circuits,” Pavlos Marinakis said.
“It was clear everyone’s knowledge of timeless pathogenesis, but it was our responsibility to deal with the will of the Prime Minister of Zero tolerance,” he said, adding: “5,200 natural persons and some legal persons are controlled by services and by the righteousness of many of them, from 2019. Be careful, these are persons beyond the cases investigated by the European Prosecutor. 5.200. Characteristics are: The 7 who were convicted days ago by the Justice are the case of 2019 – 2020, 279 cases of teamwork in Crete 2019 – 2021, 99 parcels in Naxos Specific Criminal Case after 2019 and 2020 – 2021. Our days. “
Called to comment The letters of former OPEKE President Evangelos SimandrakosTo the Maximus Mansion, the government spokesman said the prime minister’s office consenting to blocking the problematic VAT.
Specifically, he said:
“There was a comprehensive dimension and Maximus was called, that is, the presidency is not personal, it is not the personal responsibilities of the people, to manage this dimension, in order for the state to operate. And what did Maximus did? He adopted the Simandrakos suggestion and actually agreed at informally, because it is OPECEPE’s decision. It gave the green light not to pay the problematic VAT. So what did Maximus say? This is not what the opposition says. “Mr. Simandrako we accept what you are saying.” The report says it very clearly. The opposition does not say it. We will go to the aftermath, but take them one by one. I will not hide neither before nor after. But if you want to be serious, to say about it before, you have to say so. The opposition, before silent, says nothing. He does not say that Maximus was essentially blocked, he agreed, to put it right, to blocking the VAT. A “dirty” Maximus, as the opposition describes, what would he do? He wouldn’t block if he was in the vagina. They blocked them, they were not paid. So let’s go to the aftermath. Then Lord Simandrakos resigned his resignation. There is a written resignation sent. So there was a huge problem, because the state could not be ruled when the Minister does not have proper communication and consultation with an organization president. “
Concerning the paid VAT, he said that “some were paid, not everything -they will come out -730 VAT went to the prosecutor’s office after Mr Simandrakos’ resignation”.
Pavlos Marinakis also counterattacked over the recent prime ministerial confession of failure, saying that “it is consistently consistent with the fact that, despite all this, complaints, files, interventions, changes that have been made, it is clear that it still needs to break the abscess.”
