For the case of OPECEPE and his involvement was spoken on Thursday morning by the former Minister of Rural Development, Makis Voridiswhich on the one hand pointed out that “the 34 -page transmitter includes my name in two points” and on the other that “its 3,000 pages case file That everyone talks to everyone, there is no conversation and reference to a case. “
Specifically for the transmitter, he explained that his name reporting “that I signed the agreement with the proposal of SYRIZA’s appointed head of OPEKEPE Mr. Kaprellis to apply the technical solution, the 2015 ministerial decision amended in 2017 by Mr. Apostolou and then by Mr. Apostolou.
“Question 1: Is the distribution according to the Ministerial Decision is a legal or illegal act? One has never said that it is illegal. Question 2: Is the resignation request illegal or legal act? These are regulatory acts, they regulate frameworks, whether you will put a fake lease is for you, whether one checks does not concern the framework. To tell me if the technical solution was right is political criticism, but I haven’t done a crime. To sympathize with misdemeanor infidelity by requesting my resignations, you realize what we are saying … “continued Mr. Voridis.
Concerning the case of Mr Vara, Makis Voridis noted that “he describes a disagreement that would not lead to a rupture, on a specific issue for the announcement of the Special Adviser. He was also asked, you have informed Mr Voridis on the issues of checks and replied “no”, with the right reasoning I will say, because they were internal issues of the organization and did not have to inform the minister. “
Continuing, and former Minister of Rural Development He said, “Mr. Varas I don’t know if he realizes a party, he realizes a check at 99 VAT. The VAT IDs that receive 645,000 aid from OPEKEPE. Then we had said that because we had obviously found a huge increase in applications we had cross -checks and made it by Mr Varas, who put in a 3,500 VAT control field, then the 99 -VAT investigation had already begun. I had no information about the specific checks that Mr Varas did. The Minister of Rural Development neither knows nor has the right to know and ask for IDs specifically. Supervision is practiced at the level how many checks we have done and what we have found. “
He noted that ‘at the case file Mr Varas does not mention why his resignation was asked, I guess that probably because he was not asked. “
Concluding, Makis Voridis stressed that “for the political debate appropriate body is the Inquiry Committee”, adding that “one is allegedly an offense for me and will be judged by the House, so how will it be limited?”
