During a recent political briefing, Greece's government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis took a firm stance against the opposition party PASOK, criticizing its current leadership and internal conflicts. His remarks followed ongoing investigations that potentially implicate a member of PASOK who has requested to suspend their party membership, a situation that Marinakis argues would elicit a much stronger response if a similar scandal involved a New Democracy (ND) member.

Marinakis emphasized that the government does not equate individual misbehavior with the party as a whole, pointing out that any responsibility lies with the persons involved, not PASOK collectively. He drew a contrast with how the ruling ND would respond to similar circumstances, suggesting that PASOK's current leadership under Androulakis is failing to provide adequate accountability, thus highlighting weaknesses within the opposition.

Further addressing statements made by Kosta Tsoukalas, Marinakis reinforced his critique, implying that the internal dynamics within PASOK under Androulakis' presidency have betrayed the party's foundational commitments. This highlights a greater political struggle in Greece, where opposition parties are under scrutiny while the government aims to maintain stability amidst rising challenges.
