The Greek Gov’t is FINISHED after Venizelos’ bogus Submarine deal gets out..
READ Kathimerini New today– Ha, what a joke PASOK is..!
“Submarine Deal takes toll on Unity of Coalition”
Kathimerini News – , Friday October 18, 2013 (20:40)
In a row that could cause a rift in the governing coalition, Deputy Prime
Minister Evangelos Venizelos on Friday accused Defense Minister Dimitris
Avramopoulos of failing to protect him during a parliamentary discussion
Thursday on a controversial submarine deal signed in 2010 when the former was
defense minister in a PASOK government.
According to the deal, signed between the then Socialist government and Abu
Dhabi Mar, the shipbuilding company would take over the shipyards and construct
submarines there, but Skaramangas has remained idle due to a row over state
arrears.
The main leftist opposition SYRIZA party threatened to demand a parliamentary
inquiry into the affair. Avramopoulos responded that the government was not
worried about the prospect since it was not related to the case. An inquiry
would need support from at least 120 deputies.
PASOK sources say Venizelos, who is also PASOK chief, was irked by
Avramopoulos’s stance as he had thoroughly briefed the conservative minister on
the case ahead of the showdown with SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras.
A letter sent to Avramopoulos that was leaked to the press on Friday
contained information that could allegedly be used to rebuff SYRIZA’s attacks.
The same letter slammed Tsipras’s question as “vulgar, defamatory and
suspect.”
Actually now that Golden Dawn is out of the way the current Greek government is far more likely to win the next election. Who are Golden Dawn’s former supporters going to vote for? The easily manipulated communist simpletons that run Syriza?
I bet the Skopians who vote for rightwing Gruevski sure hope they are stupid enough to do so. If GD are patriots as they claim, they now have no other choice but to vote for Samarasw. (despite the fact they hate him as much as the communists do) Destroy a party than win votes from the party you just destroyed. How brilliant is that?
Samaras is the smartest politician Greece has had in a long time. The very fact he ended up in power is remarkable (despite that past ND administrations are as responsible as Pasok for our debt disaster) Any Greek that doesn’t support him is choosing second rate buffoon instead. Samaras is not only a patriot but one that is smart enough to understand that protecting Greece doesn’t only involve behaving like a brute or waiting around for the government to give out handouts.
