The New Democracy and SYRIZA political fight is getting very intense, amid the most critical time for the prospects for the Greek economy, as discussions about the sustainability of the country's debt are ongoing. The reason for yesterday's political fight were the comments made by SYRIZA spokesman Panos Skourletis.
The Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, became furious yesterday when he was informed, that SYRIZA spokesman, Panos Skourletis allegedly claimed that the governing party is setting a mechanism of “bribing” members of the Parliament for buying off their vote in the upcoming Presidential elections in March.
Samaras is clearly a destabilizing factor
Skourletis, who seemed to have the full political backup of the Director of the Political Bureau of SYRIZA leader, Alexis Tsipras, mr. Nikos Pappas, referred to an article published by the Sunday edition of the newspaper “Kontra news” on the creation of a so-called "piggy bank" by entrepreneurs to "redeem" Members of Parliament ahead of the upcoming elections.
These allegations caused the intervention of the Supreme Court Prosecutor, Efterpi Kotzamani, who requested an urgent preliminary investigation.
Prime Minister, after the intervention of the Prosecutor stated that “I call for Mr. Tsipras to instantly substantiate his allegations and claims with names and proof”. If not then he is clearly a destabilizing factor and on the subversive side instigating political anomaly in these critical moments for our country."
"We hope the belated investigation will shed light into this case. We want the prime minister to assist the judicial procedure so that this case is clarified," SYRIZA said in a statement.
