Two -day extreme political polarization and fierce conflict for its “offshore” pastures OPECEPE And the “Blue” and “Green Frames” began shortly after 9am in the House. According to planning today’s meeting, the New Democracy proposal will be discussed for examination and in -depth research since 1998 to record timeless errors and omissions of the agricultural aid payment mechanism. The opposition’s debate on Wednesday (PASOK, SYRIZA – New Left) will be discussed on Wednesday, which with the “vehicle” for the case file formed by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office are calling for limited criminal investigation into the activities of the two former ministers Maki Voridis and Lefteris.

Examination and abstinence (?) From pre -trial
At Today’s process for the examination Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is also expected to intervene to emphasize that the government’s proposal is the optimal institutional path to identify and effectively address OPEKEPE’s structural pathogens. The central objective of the ND is also to rationalize the agricultural aid system and the restoration of justice in the primary sector so that money is proportional to real beneficiaries.
The prime minister will reiterate that at this stage, the actual evidence of the case file does not show any evidence of criminal liability for the former Ministers of Rural Development and Food. It will also call PASOK and SYRIZA – New Left to withdraw their proposals for a preliminary investigation for M. Voridis and L. Avgenakis and to reinstate them after the expiry of the examinations if evidence of criminal offenses are made. In an interview with SKAI, he noted, “what would facilitate the possible return would be at the moment to withdraw the request for a pre -trial committee from the parties who have filed it. Why do I say that? Because at the moment, we say it clearly, we do not see criminal responsibilities. We invite the parties to participate in the examination and leave this possibility open. “
According to government officials, Mr Mitsotakis’ specific report is based on the provisions of the Constitution, which provide that a proposal for prosecution cannot return to the House if he has previously been rejected.
The prime minister also stressed in the same interview that “we will not participate in such a procedure for pre -trial responsibilities at this time, because we do not see criminal responsibilities. So the question here should be addressed to the other parties. “Phrase that many interpret as aNether From the votes on the pre -trial proposals to be held on Wednesday night.
Counterattack
In addition, majority MPs are expected to support the argument of timeless and inter -liability, citing recent revelations of several “green” party executives in Crete who are alleged to have received agricultural subsidies by saying too. It is certain that the ND will ask for explanations as to whether PASOK also participated in the mechanism of the “criminal organization”. At the same time, the majority will highlight some “shit” contradictions by Harilaou Trikoupi, noting, inter alia, that Nikos Androulakis MPs call for the criminal prosecution of Voridis – Avgenakis for the “technical solution” which they describe as “legal”. “The technical solution provides for the automatic grazing distribution system automatically, which is done legally for thousands of honest breeders,” PASOK said, “covering” a perfectly party official from Rethymnon who was saying pastures in Naoussa and his Agrafa. At the same time, however, PASOK’s proposal is calling for a prosecution to M. Voridis because as Minister of Rural Development in 2019 he signed the automatic grazing decision by allowing Crete farmers (and) to declare pastures in other areas of Greece! That is, for PASOK, the “automatic grazing distribution” through the technical solution is legal when it comes to its executives, but illegal to everyone else.
What will Voridis – Avgenakis say
However, Wednesday’s meeting is also increased interest in discussing the preliminary investigation proposals that have been filed with PASOK and SYRIZA with a new left as the two former ministers are expected to speak. Mr Voridis is expected to be confined to the actions of his own period, stressing that he has not committed nothing and that he is accused of signing a ministerial decision already applied in 2015. He will also argue that he is attributed to the wrongdoing of the non -perpetrator who is not perpetuated! The former minister is also alleged to have a series of documents with what had been done in OPEKEPE in his days as well as evidence that reflects the actual motives of some executives who are currently trying to appear as the organization’s reflections. It is not certain that he will reveal everything in his speech or to wait for the examination of the exam next September. It is certain, however, that he will call for a confrontation with Mr Gregory Varra in order to clarify the reasons for his resignation and to clarify whether the suspected VAT control initiatives were made before or after his request. Avgenakis is expected to move on a similar track with the former minister noting that the case file does not include his own conversations and that the removal of “suspected” VAT ID took place after checks.
At the same time, he is expected to point out that the resignation of the then OPEKEPE President E. Simandrakos was requested on 30.10.2023 due to cumulative problems and serious errors in payments of 2022 and 2023 and not for “blocking VAT”. The former minister appears to have documents at his disposal that prove that Mr Simandrakos’ actions on the “freezing” of a particular VAT are later than the request to resign.
Votes
According to the official positions of the parties, the two -day fire for the OPEKEPE case is expected to be completed with the approval of an Inquiry Committee and the rejection of the preliminary investigators.
Today’s vote on the examination does not require ballot box, will be named electronically and the recommendation requires a simple majority of the Members present.
