Sokratis Famellos, the president of SYRIZA, has called for a Preliminary Investigative Committee to examine potential criminal responsibilities of two former ministers, criticizing the New Democracy party's report as deceptive to the Greek people.
Sokratis Famellos, the president of SYRIZA, spoke on Action 24 regarding the necessity for a Preliminary Investigative Committee tasked with investigating the possible criminal liabilities of two former ministers, Lefteris Avgenakis and Makis Voridis. He emphasized that the earlier request from SYRIZA for the establishment of such a committee was reaffirmed during the sessions of the Investigative Committee, labeling the New Democracy party's report as 'unacceptable' and a deception towards the Greek people.
Famellos also highlighted a joint report prepared by SYRIZA in collaboration with the New Left, pointing out that this is not their first joint initiative in recent months. Just last week, they proposed a common approach on agricultural policies with the New Left and PASOK. This concerted effort illustrates SYRIZA’s strategy to unite with other left-leaning groups against the dominant New Democracy party, particularly as they move forward with their inquiries into political accountability.
Additionally, Famellos accused Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of conducting a 'coup' when his party's proposal for a Preliminary Investigative Committee was discussed last year. He claimed that half of Mitsotakis's MPs voted by postal ballot, undermining the democratic process. Famellos's insistence on the need for oversight concerning the former ministers' potential criminal responsibilities underscores a growing concern within the opposition regarding accountability and transparency in Greek governance.
