In a post-an example of political amnesia<\/b>, Nikos Androulakis appropriates on behalf of PASOK<\/b> all that has been accomplished for the independent authorities. <\/p>\n
He speaks of the DNA of the “democratic party” and with lies about the “paternity” of the establishment of independent authorities<\/b> in Greece he is desperately trying to adopt<\/b> work that belongs to the New Democracy.<\/b><\/p>\n
So let’s look at the sequence of events chronologically, so that we can understand what the evolution of PASOK into a facsimile of a green Syriaza, <\/b>which thinks it appeals to the historically illiterate. <\/p>\n
One lie at a time: <\/p>\n
1st Independent Authority: the Competition Commission, in 1977, under ND.<\/b>It was established by the historic Law 703\/77 to bring us in line with EEC law. <\/p>\n
This was followed by eight years of PASOK 1981-89, when no independent authority was established. <\/p>\n
2nd independent authority: the National Competition Commission. It was established under the ecumenical government of Tzannetakis<\/b> and had an excellent chairman, the great jurist Professor Dagtopoulos. In 1993 PASOK won the elections and immediately downgraded it to an administrative department on the proposal of Akis Tsochatzopoulos. <\/p>\n
3rd independent authority: EETT. Established under the New Democracy Party in 1992.<\/b> Purpose (at the time): supervision of postal services and telecommunications. <\/p>\n
4th independent authority: the A\u03a3EP. First established by PASOK, only 17 years late!<\/b> Its purpose: to clean up the public sector. It was an initiative of the great Anastasios Peponis, but it also marked his political end: immediately after its passage, Peponis was forced to resign and was never elected as a member of parliament again… <\/b><\/p>\n
Subsequent authorities: the DPA on personal data in 1997 and the RAE in 1999, both due to the incorporation of EU law, hence out of necessity. <\/b><\/p>\n
This in short is the “glorious history” of the DNA of the “democratic party” with independent authorities in the country called Greece and its citizens are Greeks, not Lotophagians… <\/b><\/p>\n The DNA of PASOK, the Democratic Party: absolute respect and the struggle for a quality democracy. pic.twitter.com\/0twvuAN72g<\/p>\n – Nikos Androulakis (@androulakisnick) April 25, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \n With a post – an epitome of political amnesia – Nikos Androulakis appropriates on behalf of PASOK everything that has been done for the …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2594,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
