With a fierce conflict between the majority and the opposition to the OPEKEPE case that has been confronted with what is happening in the ports of the country by preventing the attraction of ships with Israeli tourists, the House debate on the proposals for the establishment of a pre -trial committee for OPEKEPE.
The Minister of Justice George Floridis responded with tension to opposition complaints about a new attempt to conceal scandal while having a fierce confrontation with Socrates when the president of SYRIZA questioned the cohesion of the government majority.
The minister reminded that since 2019 when the ND is in the government, SYRIZA was the one who was liquidated and suffered at least 3 splits. “If there was a breakdown problem, SYRIZA had it. On the other hand, there is a compact parliamentary group from the ND which fought the electoral battles and won them over. He was constantly facing motivations of censure. The opposition is defeated and the government is defeating because it has a compact KO that supports the government, “he said.
The political thermometer in the plenary hall hit red when Mr Floridis accused some opposition parties of attempting to undermine the Greek -Israel strategic alliance to serve Turkey’s targets.
“The ND CO he supports and supports the government when the country was invaded by Evros. It supports now that the country is accepting an invasion from Libya. The CO supports the strategic alliance with Israel when you are trying to undermine it in favor of Turkey. In favor of Turkey. Do not think that the people do not understand what you are doing in the ports of the country when you are trying to prevent this ridiculous marginal groups to attract boats to undermine this alliance and say it again in favor of Turkey, “the minister said, causing the new reaction.

“You are shaking our hand on the part of the moral and the national advantage,” Mr Floridis continued, specifically addressing Socrates Famello but also to the Freedom Cruise to add, “We hear you and especially you who are shouting (you are about 2 years) Are we dyed our hands with innocent blood and not ashamed?
Famellos: Will you ban us from talking?
Floridis: Don’t you tell me? What is the hood that is attempted by OPECEPE. The two trials that resulted in convictions began with Greek prosecutors long before the European Public Prosecutor’s Office was created. Greek justice moved earlier and effectively. What interests the Greek people? To find the stolen. What has been evolving since 2019 that the Greek Justice has taken action and then the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is the investigation of some cases of some, and thousands of people who have made it to get illegal subsidies. The people who are waiting to see the names of those who have been unlawful practices to receive subsidies will see all this now that the financial prosecutor’s office, the AADE and AADE has been entrusted.

The challenge of opposition national reflexes sparked a fierce reaction from SYRIZA and PASOK who called for Mr Floridis’ resignation.
“A secretary minister spoke about democracy. It charged the opposition deficit of patriotism. He left hints that the opposition supports Turkey’s revisionist positions. You are obliged to recall now. We do not tolerate such hints by a shame in the country. Aren’t you ashamed to question our patriotism? ” Mr. Famellos wondered to add: “We do not tolerate a conversation about our patriotism. Do you know that patriotism is a rogue refuge? To look in the mirror. To unite him. The question concerns Mitsotakis. “
Floridis resigned by PASOK parliamentary spokesman Dimitris Mantzos.
“You’re a liar. You are a spokesman for Netanyahu. You have surpassed everything, ”reacted the new left -wing parliamentary spokesman Nassos Iliopoulos.
