The problem with the outstretched finger pointing at others is that at some point it may point at the mirror.<\/p>\n
After the issue raised by the negligence of Nikos Androulakis’ accountant to declare the filings of the chairman of PASOK<\/b> abroad and which amount to 1 million euros, came the revelation of mononews.gr about leasing the property of the PASOK president to the Greek state.<\/p>\n
Both the first and the second did not raise any question of legality<\/b>, but questions institutionally and especially ethically<\/b> both regarding the fact that the president of PASOK kept – or certainly kept until 2024 – a large sum of money abroad and had not brought it to Greece and the fact that he rented a property for a non-negligible amount per month just before the country entered the amnesty<\/b> when the party to which he belonged was in government and is currently in charge.<\/p>\n
PASOK’s reaction to the legal and moral point made by Adonis Georgiadis<\/b> and subsequently to the questions raised by Pavlos Marinakis raises new questions. Especially as regards the threat of a lawsuit against the Health Minister<\/b> who cited a publication without a corresponding reference to a lawsuit against the medium that made the publication.<\/p>\n
Nikos Androulakis’ PASOK learned to wag its finger<\/b>. To talk about “ethics in politics” while attacking the prime minister, ministers, MPs and ND party officials with extreme language. Sometimes even against voters.<\/p>\n
But the moment he was confronted with criticism, without insults, name-calling and personal extreme attacks, he invoked the right to respond with… a lawsuit now criminalizing criticism in addition to trying to criminalize the political life of the country.<\/b><\/p>\n
They dropped the ball on the podium as to the questions asked, they proceeded to personal characterizations against the persons who commented on the events and went as far as to call on the government spokesman and Deputy Minister of Press to provide information regarding the person who made the disclosure, while showing complete ignorance of the provisions of the law regarding the electronic press register.<\/p>\n
The most telling point is the reference to character assassination against Nikos Androulakis, who has gone so far as to talk about “mafia”, “gang” and “blue criminal organization”, calling the Prime Minister either “orchestrator” or “high priest” of the cover-up<\/b> and more, even claiming that this is… political criticism and not toxicity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
