In a recent speech during a parliamentary discussion concerning the Ministry of Labor's bill on collective labor agreements, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, the secretary of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), launched sharp critiques against Yiannis Panagopoulos. Koutsoumbas argued that the bill should have been withdrawn, condemning it not only for its anti-labor implications but also for being drafted under the influence of employer-related entities. He emphasized that such negotiations, conducted in secrecy with an individual he deemed controlled, unduly impose obligations on millions of workers without proper representation.
