Androulakis submits PASOK proposal for Parliamentary probe of OPEKEPE scandal

Greece and the Greek people "deserve better than a weak prime minister," main opposition PASOK-Movement for Change leader Nikos Androulakis said on Tuesday, submitting his party's proposal for the formation of a Parliamentary Preliminary Investigation Committee to look into the scandal at OPEKEPE, the Greek payment authority for EU agricultural assistance.
According to Androulakis, the prime minister was "being blackmailed by his ministers," and as a result had "gifted" former agriculture ministers Makis Voridis and Lefteris Avgenakis "statute-barred immunity ... and an amnesty."
"That is where his proposal for an investigative committee going back 1998 leads. A proposal that underestimates the intelligence of the Greek people, who will be asked to pay a fine of the order of one billion euros due to the party of corruption...exactly as the case file of the European Public Prosecutors' Office describes," Androulakis said.
PASOK-KINAL's leader said his party's proposal will lead all the politicians involved to justice and he invited MPs of all parties to support it, even those in ruling New Democracy.
