As he said, &#8220;<b>two weeks ago, a court delivered a judgment and convicted 13 people for illegal subsidies in 2016-2018. Was the New Democracy party in power?&#8221;<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">The New Democracy leader expressed his <b>strong displeasure<\/b> at the harsh insults hurled by members of PASOK and Syriza<\/b> in recent times. He pointed out that the evidence from the judiciary exposes those who were quick to jump to conclusions, noting that <b>he is making these clarifications &#8220;as a response to all those who unabashedly &#8211; PASOKs, SYRIZAs &#8211; talk about a blue criminal organization<\/b>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">At the same time, <b>Gaitanis focused on the rhetoric of Charilaou Trikoupis<\/b>, accusing it of <b>corrupting itself in practices that refer to earlier periods of political acrimony<\/b>. &#8220;<b>Unfortunately, PASOK is proving to be as toxic as SYRIZA<\/b>,&#8221; he stressed.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Concluding his intervention, <b>Tasos Gaitanis<\/b> did not fail to comment on the internal situation in <b>SYRIZA<\/b>, arguing that the party remains trapped in the past. He concluded by stating that &#8220;<b>SYRIZA is politicking like a surplus of the Tsipras period<\/b>&#8220;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tassos Gaitanis launched a fierce attack on opposition parties, recalling a recent court conviction for illegal subsidies &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9828","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\/9828","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=9828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
