Costas Tsoukalas, the spokesperson for the PASOK party in Greece, has publicly criticized Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for misleading statements he made in a recent social media post. Tsoukalas argues that the Prime Minister is creating a false narrative and pretending that everything is fine in the country as Clean Monday approaches. In particular, he points out that Mitsotakis has failed to address serious allegations concerning a prominent party member who is supposedly under investigation for hiding assets worth 10 million euros.

Tsoukalas highlights the contradiction between the Prime Minister's celebratory post and the pressing issues at hand, particularly the corruption within the New Democracy party that he believes the Prime Minister is neglecting. He questions why Mitsotakis has not taken action against the member involved in the financial scandal, accusing him of selective memory concerning their previous close ties during election campaigns and ministerial events.

Furthermore, Tsoukalas condemns the Prime Minister for not commenting on the extreme statements and behaviors exhibited by the Minister of Health, suggesting that the government is out of touch with reality. By framing the Prime Minister's optimistic portrayal as a gimmick, Tsoukalas is calling for accountability and transparency from the ruling party, particularly as they approach a significant national holiday that typically inspires reflection and honesty about the country's challenges.
