Unrest and concern about the involvement of other executives in the background of OPECEPE’s scandal prevailing inside PASOK, following the movement of Nikos Androulakis’ close associate and secretary of the Party’s Prefecture in Heraklion Crete to resign and return subsidy money received in 2020.
THE Lambros Antonopoulos handed over and his party identity, arguing with a statement that he does so for “reasons of drunkenness” and that the desperate attempt to political “set -off” will fall into the void. However, several PASOK executives, inside and outside Crete, who have nothing to do with “blue” or “green frappe” believe that many questions remain unanswered about how other “comrades” have moved in previous years and say in Harilaou Trikoupi that he must respond to him. The same executives point out to their interlocutors that Nikos Androulakis’ recent statement is not enough that those involved in the case do not have a place in PASOK but need rapid reactions and “measures” which must … be discussed in detail in the party’s organs. In Heraklion, Crete, there are various scenarios that concern the green camp and refer to the involvement of other executives.
At the same time, government officials ask questions awaiting clear answers from Harilaou Trikoupi. “Are there any other cases of PASOK executives who remain to be revealed?” He asked New Democracy spokesman Alexandra Sedoukos yesterday, recalling that “a few weeks ago, PASOK’s president appeared confident that no executive of his party had been involved in the OPEKEPE case” and that he had not said that ” Ms Sedoukou reported that Mr. Androulakis’ close associate, Lambros Antonopoulos, led to resignation for “hinges” reasons and returned the € 15,668 he had received as a grant and insisted that the case of agricultural subsidies should be investigated by We, without set -off, as this “wound” has cost the country 2.7 billion euros in fines. ” The ND charges PASOK that it “insists on a fragmentary approach that proves deeply hypocritical as it aims at temporary micro -political benefits” and emphasizes that the Inquiry Committee that proposes “will investigate them all”.
Harilaou Trikoupi characterizes the resignation of Mr Antonopoulos and by the spokesman, Costas Tsoukalas attempts to keep the headlamps in New Democracy on the grounds that: “Every day passing, the government that is dipped in corruption and the corruption her ministers. ” Mr Tsoukalas described Adonis Georgiadis’ arrogant impatience that “the parliamentary majority of the New Democracy decided that M. Voridis and L. Avgenakis and … dot” and that the European prosecutor’s office would not be controlled in the case. Immediate setting up a pre -trial committee. PASOK MP Manolis Christodoulakis, of course, in a statement on the matter after accusing the government of offsetting that “the level of criminal investigators is another, but the level of political responsibility- is the alleged criminal organization, but the alleged criminal organization is, They come. “
In Crete, meanwhile, Mr. Antonopoulos’ resignation was accompanied by the question that “if it were a legitimate aid, as he says in his statement, why would he return the money” for reasons of drunkenness “? And how did he, a PASOK, come to apply for a grant for fields that did not have at the Center for the submission of statements by the well -known and as “frappe” George Xylouris, the well -known “blue” farmer, who appears to play a role in the OPEKEP case?
In PASOK, Heraklion, it is a common secret that Antonopoulos is the man of the president – only on Mr. Androulakis’ last visit to Eastern Crete, as he had begun, as the whispers had begun for his involvement in the scandal, and the leadership of Harilaou Trikoui did not want to be in the scandal. Interestingly, the application for the 2020 subsidy (on Voridis) was made, Antonopoulos had made it to the KTH of the KSS Agricultural Cooperative, which is the kingdom of “blue” George Xylouris. Even more interesting is that the “lush” Antonopoulos supported – with his signature – the ND chosen for the Heraklion Chamber of Commerce. According to reports, Antonopoulos had declared 383 acres in Tinos and Euboea – there is even information that he then transferred his rights to son George Xylouris. However, these remains to be investigated … At the same time, rumors are thickened in Heraklion that the OPEKEPE case involves the name of another “green” executive, which is now in a high position in the region of Crete.
In his letter to PASOK Secretary Andrea Spyropoulos, Mr. Antonopoulos states:
‘Comrade Secretary,
With my present, I submit my resignation from the post of secretary of the NE. Heraklion Committee of PASOK-KINAL and, in addition, I request the temporary suspension of my party status.
It is obvious that the specific circles attempted by my name with the OPEKEPE scandal is aimed at hurting PASOK in the context of a desperate attempt at political “set -off” and will fall into the void. Nevertheless, only the above references to my face make my resignation one -way.
Finally, I emphasize that I got money from OPEKEPE once, in the year 2020, with a process that I considered and still consider absolutely legal and to date I have not been accused by anyone and for anything. I also returned the money exclusively for the reasons of drunkenness.
With appreciation,
Lambros Antonopoulos »
