The investigation into the conduct at OPEKEPE <\/b>sparks a new political controversy, with PASOK<\/b> calling for the reconstitution preliminary investigation committee<\/b>.<\/p>\n
A request to investigate<\/b> any criminal charges against former minister Rural Development<\/b>, Spilios Livanos<\/b>, and the former Deputy Minister, Fotini Arabatzi<\/b>, submitted by the opposition to the Parliament<\/b>. <\/p>\n
PASOK’s initiative is based on the findings of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office<\/b> regarding the management of the OPEKEPE<\/b>, calling for the establishment of a Special Parliamentary Committee to examine the acts and omissions of the two executives.<\/p>\nSpilios Livanos’ strong reaction<\/b><\/h3>\n
The response<\/b> by Livanou<\/b>, who spoke of micropolitical considerations<\/b> and “irresponsible initiative” on the part of Charilaou Trikoupis. The former minister appeared unmoved in his positions, stating that his involvement in the case lacks basis<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In his personal statement, Spilios Livanos<\/b> stressed:<\/p>\n
“A short while ago, PASOK submitted a proposal for the establishment of a preliminary investigation committee against me. Because I was the one who highlighted the timeless scandal of OPEKEPE in 2021<\/b>. Because I was the one who fought to contain it<\/b>. But unfortunately for today’s PASOK, minor political expediency trumps truth<\/b>“<\/p>\n
Mr. Livanos <\/b>expressed his full confidence that the truth will shine during the parliamentary process<\/b>, noting:<\/p>\n
“Those who have dealt even a little with the case of OPEKEPE, know how unjust and unsubstantiated is the involvement of my name in it<\/b>. I am sure that the information I will provide to the Parliament and to Greek society will thwart this irresponsible initiative of PASOK<\/b>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
