“Police have done as the law sets and will continue to do so”
“The demonstrations are foreseen and guaranteed by our Constitution and our Republic, by the functioning of our Republic. There is no man who does not tighten his heart when he sees images, especially children and civilians in Palestine and anywhere in the world, “the government spokesman stressed. Paul Marinakis Speaking to Real FM and commenting on a question about the reactions to the arrival of Israeli tourists in Rhodes.
At this point, however, the government spokesman said: “Here I will make two observations. One observation is that there is a red line where someone overcomes it, and from a healthy demonstration turns it into a fascist, racist, aggressive energy against a human being, because it happens to have a specific origin, a specific religion, a nationality that cannot be tolerated in a rule of law such as Greece. It is another thing to say “freedom in Palestine” and another thing to say to a man because he comes from Israel and has a religion and is Jewish that “you are not desirable in a country”. The people who make the second are fascists. “
“Unfortunately, many of them are in Parliament and is the other side of fascism, the other end of fascism, which we must deal with democratically with all our democratic weapons and with all our might. Police have done as required by law and will continue to do so. The unfortunate day was the day in Syros. It was a bad day, which I think was not the rule. The rule will be what was done in Rhodes. The law must be applied. The law is above all. We will protect any demonstration as defined by the Constitution, but we will also protect every citizen who wants to come to the country, whatever his nationality, whatever his religion and those who do not understand it will experience the effects of the law without exaggeration and without extremes.stressed Mr. Marinakis and added:
“Let them make the decision, and especially let some Members understand it, who must understand that they represent the Greek citizens, our democratic regime, which has been able to withstand 51 years and is unthinkable – I am referring to a new left -wing MPs – to say to citizens. These in the Hellenic Republic cannot be tolerated. “
“To illuminate all the individual aspects in the OPECEPE case”
“I think things have to go in time and in the time of the discussion, which precedes the examination committee and in the time of the announcement, where the government majority first took the initiative and announced its intention to submit a proposal for the examination and a proposal for the examination of the examination, PASOK and the third is the series of importance, which is the most important thing about the world, “Mr Marinakis said in the OPECEPE case.
“As you can see, in a case, where no criminal prosecutions have even been brought, something that the opposition is silently silenced by non -political persons, is much more reasonable, in a wound, which has been lasting for 30 years and has cost our country over 2.8 billion euros in fines, fines of 30 billion euros, fines of 30 billion euros. It is much more reasonable to want a healthy political system – I hope this is done at some point and with the opposition – to discuss the many we have to say about all that created this pathogenesis and this wound, including our own years, without excluding anything and then, and possible pre -trial committee“, The government spokesman added.
Mr. Marinakis He called the PASOK president “Let him leave the jokes and deal with his many associates and friends or members of his party, who seem to have been reaping money from the issue of agricultural subsidies. And they even use the technical solution as an excuse, by which Mr Androulakis himself and his party demands that two former ministers go to the defendants, because they agreed to implement it, which was foreseen by law. “
Mr Marinakis added that he had not heard a greater paradox in the political life of the country. “You want to send accused two former ministers, because they consent to a solution that was foreseen by law and justify your friends and close associates and executives, who have been fruitful, made money, that is, a lot of money, from this same solution. One prisoner. To get them in turn, “he said.
The government spokesman noted that the examination has included both the last five years and previous years. “Something tells me that PASOK has more to tell us more. Who were the ones who changed it? Why did SYRIZA disintegrate livestock fully? That is, you don’t have a single animal or one to get paid. What happened next? And something very important. Various ministers, deputy ministers at the Ministry of Rural Development, Secretaries -General, Head of OPEKEPE, members of the Board of Directors. Which of all of them, including, that is, of our own years, have cross -checks? Who sent people to justice? How many did they send? “
Mr Marinakis said the current government had sent 5,200 natural persons to the authorities and blocked tens of thousands of VAT. “So we did what we did and have taken a number of other serious initiatives, such as the passage of OPECEPE to AADE and we will be judged for the many we did and for what we had to do and do now. The rest will tell us about all this, what do they think? Because again Greece has paid before the 400 million, which we will ask to be reduced and everything else we have said we will do, has paid almost 3 billion before 2019 to fines for the “sinful” issue of agricultural subsidies. Shouldn’t the Greek people get answers for all this? At the moment, the turn of things, when we are talking about an issue that lasts for 30 years, is as follows: a serious examination committee, I hope for the first time in many years, because we have not seen a serious investigation committee so far, under the responsibility of the sterile opposition. Investigation of all years, including our own, which, because we have changed the Constitution, has changed the Constitution over our days, there is no deduction deadline. To illuminate all the individual aspects, “he added.
For the possibility of limitations, he recalled that the abolition of the damping deadline after the change of the Constitution in 2019. “How can we consider that there is a limitation issue for something that does not constitute criminal liability? First, because Mr Voridis did not do any administrative act. He wrote “Agree” to something that emerged from an organization, first. So there is no formal criminal responsibility. Secondly, he wrote “I agree” on a solution provided by law was the result of ministerial decisions. Thirdly, what was foreseen by law, Mr. Voridis inherited from the previous government, the SYRIZA government. And fourth, they were decisions, be careful, of the OPEKEPE -appointed administration, “he said.
Mr Marinakis accused the opposition of using methods of political fraud to make impressions.
For the EU-US trade agreement, the government spokesman said the process was ongoing and that a deal is certainly better than a fluid situation, without any given. “It’s” not to be optimal, “I will totally agree with you. Obviously, we should not celebrate, because things are making it difficult, in relation to the situation that was in force before the tariff issue was raised. So we must not hide behind our finger as Europe, to say it kindly, we must say reality. Yes, it is best to have a better -terms agreement than the data was a few months ago. The truth is that our country will be called upon to face this new reality, with a much stronger economy than it was in 2019 and much more than it was in 2015, 2016, 2017. A much larger GDP economy, much lower GDP debt, with the lowest unemployment in recent years. It will, therefore, have fewer impacts as a country than the rest of the European Union Member States, “he noted.
For the Safe program he stressed that there is no bilingualism and that the big picture is that Greece has managed and won a series of very important things about defense equipment.
