In its comment, the KKE accused the New Democracy government of “unprecedented approaches” with the aim of covering the scandal in OPEKEPE, as well as the political and criminal responsibilities of its ministers. The party stresses that these actions are turning against the Greek people and the farmers, and not against the EU’s financial interests.
In addition, the KKE considers that the EU’s common agricultural policy is part of the problem and a “breeding of scandal”. He argues that the emergence of scandals by European institutions at this time is used to redirect Community funds to the war economy, which is being done against the peoples of Europe.
