Political reactions provokes the newspaper’s reportage Documentaccording to which a file was forwarded with its publications to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Supreme Court, calling for a criminal investigation of a felony against CIorgos Mylonakis – A close associate of the Prime Minister Kyriakou Mitsotakis. The request for audit has already been supported by SYRIZA, Freedom Cruise and the New Left, who call on justice to examine in depth the case related to cases management in the case. OPECEPE.
In his extensive announcement, Mr Mylonakis responded hard, describing the report as “extremely misleading” and the actions of the newspaper “Distribution of Despair”.
“My great honor is still reserved for Documento today. This is not the first time, nor do I imagine the last one, “he says, referring to an earlier response he had posted on Zoe Konstantopoulou. “No prosecution is at my door. Mr Vaxevanis is trying to make impressions with unsupported reports. “
He argues that behind these moves there is a political expediency, accusing the newspaper and the opposition of “trying to criminalize political life, in the absence of proposals for the real problems of citizens.”
“The government has brought up the scandals, it didn’t cover them”
In his announcement, Mr. Mylonakis stresses that all the investigations that revealed the OPEKEPE – as well as the persecutions and the return of illegal aid – were done under the New Democracy government.
“This is the only truth and does not change,” he notes, leaving spikes for the “cemetery” of the Novartis scandal, who are trying – as he says – to build a new narrative of cover -up.
Questions about journalistic ethics
Mr. Mylonakis, finally, raises a question of ethics, accusing Documento publisher Costas Vaxevanis of “tooling” justice:
“How ethical is the ‘independent’ journalist to submit suits about issues he has already published when justice has not been dealt with because they are completely unsubstantiated?”
He says he is ready to “prove in Greek justice the truth” and emphasizes that the attacks against him “will not cover the political inadequacy of the opponents”.
The controversy is expected to continue as opposition parties call for the light of justice to be heard of the OPEKEPE operations, while the government blames the opposition and Documento for an effort to create impressions in view of political developments.
