The article critiques the Greek government's lukewarm communication strategy regarding the financial scandal involving Panagopoulos, a high-ranking member of the PASOK party. It highlights the disparity in the government's reaction, which under normal circumstances would provoke a much stronger media outcry, particularly from the opposition and government officials such as Adonis Georgiadis, who instead criticized opposition leader Nikos Androulakis for overstepping the presumption of innocence regarding Panagopoulos.

As the scandal continues to unfold, the narrative suggests that the government is trying to distance itself from the allegations, possibly indicating a lack of accountability among political figures. The chief inspector Makarios Lazaridis has attributed the scandal to a personal connection, suggesting that the issue is more personal than political. This raises questions about the integrity of the investigation and the lengths to which the government may go to protect its affiliates.

The article implies a growing frustration among citizens about the apparent double standards in handling political scandal, which traditionally would require vigorous scrutiny. The lack of vigorous responses from the government highlights a possible acceptance of political impropriety, reflecting broader issues within Greek politics and societal expectations of accountability.
