PASOK: Requests the summons of the administration of the Hellenic Asset Development Fund to Parliament for parliamentary control
The PASOK party in Greece has requested that the administration of the Hellenic Asset Development Fund be summoned to Parliament for substantial parliamentary oversight.
The Greek political party PASOK - Movement for Change has submitted a letter to the President of the Standing Committee on Economic Affairs of Parliament, requesting the summons of the administration of the Hellenic Asset Development Fund (HADF) for significant parliamentary control. This request, signed by several PASOK lawmakers including Paul Geroulanos and Michalis Katrinis, aims to investigate the role, choices, and priorities of the HADF since its establishment in 2016.
The letter emphasizes that the HADF has been largely inactive in terms of accountability measures to the Greek Parliament. Since the fund's inception, there has been a lack of transparency regarding the management of its assets and the strategic decisions of its administration. PASOK lawmakers argue that neither the Parliament nor the public have had a clear and comprehensive understanding of how the HADF operates, despite it managing an extensive portfolio of public assets.
This request highlights the need for greater oversight of institutions such as the HADF, reflecting broader concerns about accountability in the management of public assets in Greece. The letter from PASOK could signal a significant push towards ensuring that public institutions are held accountable for their operations and decisions, which is critical for maintaining trust in governance and fiscal management in the country.
