Pavlos Marinakis: live update from the government spokesman

“We do not raise any question of legality” regarding the property of the family of Nikos Androulakis that is leased by the Greek State, Pavlos Marinakis stressed, when asked about a relevant article by mononews.gr. As he said, “if there is such an issue, we won’t say, it’s up to Justice”, but based on the rhetoric of the PASOK president – who, among other things, has questioned Justice many times – questions arise on the moral aspect of the case concerning the collection of €1.2 billion in rent.

“How is it possible that Mr. Androulakis, while questioning decisions and institutions, is collecting millions of euros from the state? And he wants to become prime minister. Consider if today’s publication was about the prime minister or a member of the Southwestern Democratic Party,” he said, adding that in such a case he would be taking questions for a month.

As for PASOK’s intention to take legal action, following a post by Adonis Georgiadis, Pavlos Marinakis called to clarify whether he will turn against the medium that raised the issue or against the Minister of Health. “Will we accept lawsuits when we raise issues of ethics? Then what should we say?”, he asked, noting that “PASOK’s reaction to government officials who merely speak out is excessive.”
