With a new round of intense confrontation about what happened on Wednesday night at episodic vote of pre -trial proposals for OPEKEPE Today’s plenary session began.
Almost all of the opposition parties argued that the ND and Bureau of the House proceeded with a “parliamentary coup” and its abuse letter voting to check the outcome of the secret ballot for a preliminary investigation by M. Voridis and L. Avgenakis.
At the same time, they demanded an emergency convening of the Conference of Presidents in order to decide the invalidity of the procedure that rejected the prosecution of the two former ministers.
On the part of ND the parliamentary representative Blessed Lazaridis He said, “the prime minister and the ND had been in favor of setting up an Inquiry Committee. We invited the opposition to withdraw the pre -trial proposals. Instead of withdrawing its proposals, the opposition withdrew its Members. The ND KO had made it clear that it would not leave but at the same time we explained that as soon as it was decided to set up an examination there was a pre -trial recommendation. Yesterday the opposition told us that the majority would leave. What finally happened was to leave the minority. Mr. Androulakis told us that if ND left it would shake the process in the air. In the end, the opposition was abstaining. ” He added: “I hear criticism of the letter vote that is constantly chosen by opposition MPs. In the current period, SYRIZA has made the greatest use of the letter vote. The opposition has reached the point of not voting on its own proposals for a sample of lack of plan and strategy. The ND united and compact remains committed to keeping our plan under which we have received popular legitimacy. “
Earlier, by PASOK. Pavlos Christidis He talked about “black day for democracy”. “Tactics has no limits for ND. Independently transient majority we assure the Greek people that we are not all the same. 68 ND colleagues chose to send a letter. This parliamentary coup we saw yesterday has no precedent. And in 2008 2009 the ND left corresponding meetings but did not do what he did yesterday. “
Harilaou Trikoupi’s parliamentary spokesman stressed that “PASOK does not recognize the outcome of yesterday’s process. PASOK reserves for taking initiatives to overthrow yesterday’s result. You have done games with democracy again but as yesterday’s downturn has not been done again. Invite the average neo -democrat. “
By SYRIZA K. Christos Giannoulis He said, “yesterday’s elaboration of the parliamentary process, the violation of articles of the House of Representatives, the violation of any moral ethical policy practice, will not be left on our part – I imagine other opposition parties – in inactivity.”
Responding, Mr. Lazaridis noted “from a party that has been split 15 times and has dismissed its legally elected president, ending up in bouzouki to do his meetings.”
Mr. Nikos Karathanasopoulos of the KKE said, “There was abuse of the letter. The process that violates the secrecy of voting. We call for an emergency convening within the day of the Conference to declare the vote invalid and to keep the possibility of prosecution of the two former ministers. We will exhaust every possibility of the regulation. “
From the Greek solution, Mr. Constantine Chitas She said that “there is a government premium to bother its scandals” while Mr Spyros Tsironis from Niki spoke of “black day for parliament. Those of the ND who have not borne their consciousness let them react. “
