Attempted small party exploitation of the case OPECEPE is charged with Lefteris Avgenakis In the opposition parties – PASOK on the one hand and SYRIZA with a new left on the other – on the occasion of their proposals for the establishment of a pre -trial committee.
In his statement, the former Minister of Rural Development states the following:
“I carefully read the two proposals of the PASOK and SYRIZA opposition parties – New Left to set up a preliminary committee.
From their simple and only bona fide reading, one immediately finds the uncertainty, the easy generalization and the absence of evidence of evidence of a criminal offense.
I find that the need for a small party exploitation of the OPEKEPE issue prevents them from recognizing that I have not committed in the performance of my duties.
It is noteworthy that they are constantly relying on former OPEKEP President Evangelos Simandrakos, who claims to be pressured for the release of 6,000 “committed” VAT IDs while the actual number was 16,560 VAT.
The VAT IDs are not mere numbers but farmers, farmers with families, who, after being checked (as the OPECEPE administration, should not remain hostage, to be paid if they are legally entitled to it or to be brought to justice.
The New Democracy is rightly proposing the establishment of an Inquiry Committee to investigate all aspects of the issue from 1998 until today, with the aim of seeking the truth and resolving the organization.
I reserve the detail of detailing adequate evidence and facts during the debate in the House of Representatives. “
