Parliament: PASOK calls for accountability of the Asset Development Fund – Letter to the chairman of the Permanent Committee on Economic Affairs

The Greek political party PASOK has submitted a request for accountability regarding the Asset Development Fund to the chairman of the parliamentary committee.

PASOK - Movement for Change, a prominent political party in Greece, has formally requested the assembly of the management of the Asset Development Fund in order to carry out effective parliamentary oversight aimed at understanding its operational role, decision-making processes, and priorities. This request was made in a letter addressed to the chairman of the Permanent Committee on Economic Affairs of the Hellenic Parliament.

The letter from the PASOK parliamentarians highlights concerns about a perceived lack of accountability since the establishment of the Fund in 2016, claiming that its provisions for oversight vis-à-vis the Parliament have remained largely inactive. They argue that both the Parliament and society at large have never had a clear and comprehensive understanding of the Fund's asset management or the strategic direction under various administrations, despite its responsibility for managing a significant portfolio of public properties and investments that directly impact crucial economic sectors, as well as the daily lives of citizens.

The call for accountability arrives amid ongoing debates about the management of public assets in Greece and the potential implications for economic transparency and governance. As the opposition party, PASOK's initiative aims to ensure that the Fund operates in a manner that is open to scrutiny and that it acts in the best interest of the public, emphasizing the critical need for legislative oversight in managing state resources.
