“The Maximus system has made concealment and cynicism to its basic political principles”
“The Mitsotakis government is in disintegration. OPEKEPE’s fiasco and the approach with letter votes to reject a pre -trial committee are not an “unfortunate moment”. It is the clearer proof that the Maximus Palace has lost any trace of political credibility and therefore resorted to practices that degrade the quality of democracy and undermine respect for the Greek Parliament, ”he argues. Nikos Androulakis, In an article in the “Journal of Editors”.
The president of the PASOK-Main of Change emphasizes that the OPEKEPE scandal “reveals in the most cruel way what the majority of society has long been aware of: the Maximus system has reduced concealment and cynicism to its basic political principles” and adds that “The Greek people are witnessing once again of the well -known arrogance: an attempt to disorientation, overt translation of responsibilities and – the most exasperating – depreciation of parliamentary processes, with the sole purpose of imposing ministerial executives.”
Lonely attacking Kyriakos Mitsotakis notes that he notes that “This is the real face of a prime minister who works as if he does not owe an account to anyone. Which considers its property. That offends the intelligence of the citizens. “
In addition, Mr. Androulakis emphasizes that “the prime minister, who once advertised the image of the” reformer “, has now been trapped in a dead -end survival policy. He is afraid of dialogue, avoids difficult questions, denies any control. But as it hides behind the courtyard of Maximus, the distance from the real needs of the country will grow. “
He criticizes what happened in the vote in Parliament for the pre -trial, pointing out that they constitute “contempt for any concept of democratic accountability, is not limited to OPEKEPE. From the scandals of espionage to interventions in justice, from direct assignments to the deprivations of works from the Recovery Fund, the New Democracy of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is intense in vigorous intolerance to transparency. It is no coincidence that whenever explanations are requested, the answer is either guilty of silence or an attack on those who dare to control power. “
“OPECEPE was just the drop that overflowed the glass. The prime minister has shown that he is not interested in either farmers waiting for their payments, nor about the society seeking meritocracy. All that seems to concern him is how he will maintain a suffocating system of control in the state, even if that means the depreciation of institutions, “says Androulakis and concludes: “The Mitsotakis government is sinking into a decline that is difficult to find in times of democratic normalcy. This is not just a political failure; it is a deeply moral decline. When the country is treated as a loot and citizens as annoying spectators, then we are talking about regime attitudes by a centralized power system that has lost all contact with society. “
