A joint report issued by the MPs of SYRIZA and the New Left, who participated in the parliamentary inquiry into OPEKEPE, emphasizes that the OPEKEPE scandal goes beyond mere administrative failures and is rooted in significant political accountability. They assert that the issues at hand extend far beyond individual actions and reflect broader governmental practices during the New Democracy party's tenure. The report points out that the alleged irregularities are problematic and indicative of a systemic issue, affecting the integrity of EU funds and the financial interests of genuine farmers.

According to the findings of the report, there is evidence of a systematic creation of 'eligibility' for financial assistance, involving the bypassing of controls and the distribution of EU funds to ineligible recipients. This raises severe concerns, as the potential financial damage is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of euros. The document highlights that the testimonies, lawful intercepts, and communications from the European Prosecutor suggest a continuity in these practices, which indicate a reluctance to exercise adequate oversight and accountability within the government.

In light of these revelations, the MPs are calling for thorough investigations into the roles of key political figures, specifically targeting Voridis and Avgenakis, whom they allege share responsibility for facilitating such practices. As the political climate in Greece continues to evolve, this scandal may have serious ramifications for the current administration and raise longstanding questions about the governance and allocation of EU resources, potentially fuelling public discontent and a demand for accountability.
