Accusing PASOK of hypocrisy, Adonis Georgiades has criticized the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The health minister is responding to the “far-right bully” and “anti-establishment” characterizations he has been accused of by the opposition party for his criticism of the legal handling of the Greek prosecutor, Ms. Papandreou, recalling PASOK’s actions in 2014 when it called for her disciplinary prosecution for having initiated proceedings against the then party president.

The Health Minister’s post details:

“Count how many times these days the PASOK party, either through Nikos Androulakis, or through their press spokesman Kostas Tsoukalas, or the “lawmaker” Panagiotis Doudonis have called me an “extreme right-wing bully”, “anti-establishment” etc. because he says “I am attacking the European Public Prosecutor’s Office” because I criticize the legal manipulations of the Greek appointed prosecutor Mrs. Papandreou… the Panhellenic Socialist Movement is shocked by this criticism of me, I am unacceptable, they can’t stand this in Pasok…. https://www.news247.gr/politik… of course when they called for her disciplinary action because she had initiated proceedings against the then PASOK president it was just noon….you said I hate hypocrisy.”

As reported in the Big Mouth column of powergame.gr, then anti-corruption prosecutor Poppy Papandreou had in 2014 turned against then-PASOK president and vice-president of the Samaras government, Evangelos Venizelos, as well as former Finance Minister Giorgos Papaconstantinou, over the submarine case. As a result, PASOK turned against the prosecutor and asked for… disciplinary control.

“Back then, when PASOK was in coalition with the “infamous Right” (and not with any right-wing party, but with the Samara version), sending a file to the Parliament could be considered a reason for disciplinary control of the prosecutor in charge. Now that the “needle” remains stuck at 10 and change, the actions of the (coincidentally the same) prosecutor look to Charilaou Trikoupis like something like a state statute, which anyone who questions it endangers the constitution, the rule of law, the democratic acquis of the country and I don’t know what else,” the Big Mouth column says.
