Before definitive decisions to handle the case of OPECEPE– Possibly- today- the prime minister is alleged to be located, who, weighing the data from the case file as well as the other political and legal parameters of the case, looks closer to the “no” to the recommendation. Pre -trial committee For the ministers being held Maki Voridis and Lefteris Avgenakis.
In fact, this week the government camp is getting ready to cross the counterattack against him PASOK With a “siege Aries” The case of Rethymnon MP Manolis Chnariwho served as Vice -Mayor of Crete for years and was responsible for giving approvals on behalf of the Region so that producers could submit their applications.
Competent government officials report to prototheme.gr That in recent days there has been a noticeable climate change inside the government camp, with the converging view that there is no criminal liability for Mr Voridis and Avgenakis from the case file.
Despite the intense rumors of recent weeks, no new evidence has been contributed to the two former ministers, so the Maximus Palace estimates that PASOK’s proposal to set up a pre -trial committee for issues related to infidelity against the State is legally unfounded. And this is not expected to vote for it. Of course, government officials put on the table scenario of recommendation Inquiry CommitteeIn order not to appear that the majority generally refuses to investigate the “framework” set by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
The other possibility that he had “dropped on the table” is the New Democracy To submit an autonomous proposal for a pre -trial committee, attributing the two former ministers the offense of breach of duty. And while at the beginning of last week the suggestion was “gaining ground”, the climate has changed in recent days and the prime minister is gearing up to reject the opposition’s request.
This, of course, also presupposes her “scanning” Parliamentary groupIn order to avoid leaks in the ballot box, given that some MPs (S. Petsas, M. Harakopoulos) have already been publicly in favor of “facilitating” the project of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. This is an exercise that is not easy, but it will be necessary.
The Borides-Augenaki line
The Maximos Mansion maintains an open line with the former ministers Voridis and Avgenakis, but especially Mr. Borides He tells his interlocutors that he is not in any kind of negotiation and his point of view is independent of political tactics. A few days ago, Mr Voridis appeared on the House and on the table where he was sitting “gathered” several MPs and not just the ND, who were taken into account that there were no potential criminal responsibilities under the case. And Mr. Voridis is of this view and even disagrees with the logic of performance of a misdemeanor in the scenario of an autonomous “blue” proposal for pre -trial.
Mr Voridis points out in all tones that he is checked to continue the technical solution that was common practice since the SYRIZA period, while pointing out that the Gregory Varra which was appointed after the approval of the technical solution in any of his testimony states that the Minister was aware and therefore prevented any of his actions for the “cleansing” of OPEKEPE.
Both Mr Voridis and Mr Avgenakis point out to their interlocutors that the “girl” has not recorded any of their own conversations, but only references to them during third party talks.
In turn, Mr. Avgenakis He says he was involved in the case file reports of third parties in the period from September 2024 to January 2025, but a period when he had left the Ministry of Rural Development and was not even a ND member, as he was erased in early July. And he disagrees with the logic of being a breach of duty, since he is not actually controlled for his actions while he was a minister, beyond the reports and deposits of the former OPEKEPE commander Gregory Simandrakou.
