New round of severe confrontation between New Democracy and PASOK triggered Yesterday’s resignation of PASOK Heraklion Prefecture Secretary Lambros Antonopoulosbecause of the involvement of his name in the OPECEPE scandal. The party strain resigned, also demanding the suspension of his party statusciting reasons of existence, as it became known that he had received a subsidy from OPEKEPE in 2020.
Antonopoulos’s resignation gave ruling party The window he was looking for to support the narrative for timeless responsibilities and pathogens and inter -party responsibility for the situation in OPECEPE. “Now we understand why he does not want the Inquiry Committee that will inevitably investigate everything. Are there any other cases of PASOK executives who are left to be revealed? ” questioned Monday night New Democracy spokesman Alexandra Sedukou.
Her PASOK counterpart, Costas Tsoukalas, replied on Tuesday morningstating that “PASOK’s president has made it clear from the beginning: no shadow is tolerated. That is why the party’s party status of PASOK resigned. ” PASOK’s press spokesman He asked Alexandra Sedoukou if ND had deleted “Frape”, “Haep” and others involved in the case that are members of the ruling party.
New Democracy notified through anonymous sources That the party properties of the two executives found at the center of the scandal were suspended shortly after the appearance of the case.
However, there is no official announcement, which gave the PASOK Press Office the opportunity to challenge the event -or at least the timeline of deletions. “So far we knew about the post -dated checks. Today we have learned the post -dated deletions. The New Democracy is exporting know -how again, “the opposition’s response said. “In the next leak, let them bother to release the minutes of party deletions by date,” PASOK said.
The announcement war continued In a new statement from the ND spokesman, who argued that “once again, PASOK is ringing open doors”. Alexandra Sedoukou said that “New Democracy hastened to automatically delete all the party members allegedly involved In the OPECEPE case, “adding that” at the same time, he highlighted the actual dimension of the case, without a willingness to set off and therefore he founded the solution of the examination. “
Insisted that the responsibilities are inter -party, arguing that “In New Democracy we believe that the case is not about a party, as opposition would persuade Greek society.”. The ruling party’s spokesman justified this position with new references to the resignation of Lambros Antonopoulos, referring to “new dimensions of the scandal” and accused the opposition of “insisting on a fragmentary approach”, rejecting the 1998 examination.
The political table tennis continued with PASOK spokesman Costas Tsoukalas answering that “Mrs Sedoukou continues to throw the ball on the podium” and asking: “Why does the New Democracy not communicate the evidence of the deletions as PASOK did? Maybe because “Fraps”, “Butcher” and the plus of them were never deleted; What is the government afraid of? Who is pushing her? How long will it still be hypocritical? ‘
The opposition official concluded his statement, saying: “The cleansing comes with actions, not with the mischief of a government that, in order to escape, is going to be unmistakable and false set -offs.”
