OPECEPE: 2+1 Government Initiatives – Today the submission of the ND proposal for Inquiry Committee

Within the day is expected to formally deposit the New Democracy the proposal to establish Inquiry Committee in the House that will investigate the pathogens of OPECEPE and agricultural subsidies over time starting in 1998.

In this way the government It complements the package of actions that move at three parallel levels and aims at the overall treatment of the problematic case.

According to the Maximus Palace The majority’s initiative to conduct an examination of It moves strictly in institutional direction and is the optimal path not only to identify political responsibilities, structural errors and omissions where they exist but also for their substantial treatment. The central objective of the government is also to rationalize the agricultural aid system and to restore justice to the primary sector so that subsidies are proportional to real producers.

Government officials note that “the proposal for examination is a completely logical decision, a” wound “that our country has paid over 2.7 billion euros in the last 30 years” while announcing the summons for depositing “dozens of witnesses”.

Citing Opposition’s complaints about concealment They say that “it is just the opposite, because it excludes no period of governance, nor ours. If not all aspects of OPEKEPE are illuminated, we will never get the answer on issues, such as the technical solution, the cross -checks, if they were done and by whom, which ministers sent how many in justice in previous years, what happened to the technical plans of grazing, and what did we have to do with the technical plans,

At the same time argue that the content of it case file which has been forwarded to the House has leaned the scales in favor of the examination as they report the dossier do not describe criminal offenses and do not describe criminal offenses.

Voridis: They accuse me of a period when I was not a minister and why I asked for resignation of existing

The content of the case file that inspired PASOK and SYRIZA’s proposals for a preliminary investigation proposal was also placed. Makis Voridis. The former Minister of Rural Development commenting on the “by all” of the two sentencesinitially notes that he is accused of actions that do not concern the period he was in the ministry and argues that OPECEPE’s agreement on how to implement a ministerial decision applied annually from 2015 until today is not an offense. Correspondingly, – notes himself – it is not an offense to claim the resignation of the political affiliate.

In particular, he says in his post:

A first, brief commentary on those of PASOK, SYRIZA and the New Left:

(A) Two of the acts attributed to me are alleged to have been committed in 2021 – that is, at a time when I was not Minister of Rural Development and Food. Therefore, any further commentary is unnecessary. How is it possible to consider my infidelity as a minister, for acts allegedly committed by state -owned managers while not even having the ministerial status?

(B) I am also attributed to me as synergy with infidelity that I have signed, agreeing to the proposal of the then OPECEPE administration – appointed by SYRIZA – on the proposal of the allocation of the pasture, in the execution of a ministerial decision of SYRIZA. And today, I am accused by SYRIZA himself.

In essence of the category: The distribution was made on the basis of a ministerial decision and is absolutely legal. More of this will be said during the forthcoming debate in Parliament. However, I wonder: How can it be synergy with infidelity by consenting to the implementation of a legitimate regulatory ministerial decision?

C) Finally, I am accused of asking Mr Vara’s resignation. If it is now considered a felony to seek the resignation of a subordinate, then this category needs a lot of fictional imagination to explain.

In conclusion, my “crime” is that I have agreed with OPECEPE’s recommendation to implement a ministerial decision, that of the technical solution, and that I requested the resignation of the President of the Organization. These are the “offenses” that are attributed to me.

I will come back with all the necessary legal and political arguments, when I need to. However, it is obvious that these objections are fully justified by the New Democracy’s position on the sake of non -existence of criminal responsibilities ”

Avgenakis: Attempted Micro -Party by the opposition

For the attempt to exploit the OPECEPE case by the opposition, the opposition speaks and the Lefteris Avgenakis. “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 OPECEPE President Evangelos Simandrakos, who claims to be pressured for the release of 6,000 “committed” VAT IDs, at a time when the real 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.

While the product of the drafts, with references to my name from third parties, constantly relying on their two proposals, comes from the period when I am not even at the helm of the AAT ministry, while at the same time being outside the ND!

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 to expose detailed evidence and facts during the debate in the plenary session. “
