For attempting to create a network of interference accuses the New Democracy the official opposition, while he speaks of a «triangle of SYRIZA - interference - MME» and of funding from a Russian oligarch.
In a statement, the New Democracy party points out that «the US Justice Department has proceeded to prosecute the Russian businessman Malofeyev, among others, for providing 10 million euros in funding through companies in order to create a channel for Russian propaganda in Greece. The information sector was headed by Mr. Vaxevanis. In the presentation of this television station were, among others, Panos Kammenos, Christos Spirtzis, Elena Kountoura as members of the then government of SYRIZA-ANEL, the Secretary General of Information Lefteris Kretsos and the well-known and not exceptional Christos Kalogritsa».
«Mr Vaxevanis and SYRIZA who has undertaken its defence, owe answers to the SYRIZA-interference-MME triangle that is being re-illuminated by these developments and on the occasion of the investigations into Russian infiltration efforts in various countries, including Greece. And all this was happening at the same time that Kalogritsa and Pappas were trying to set up the “SYRIZA channel” and when their attempt collapses, they create the newspaper “Documento” with Kostas Vaxevanis as its director,» the ND added.
«These are just some of the stations of SYRIZA's attempt to create a network of interconnectedness during its days, while at the same time Russian oligarchs are expanding their network, apparently not because they were interested in objective information. Fortunately for Greece, the efforts of Syriza and its friends failed. “Coincidences” one might say. On the other hand, the Russian oligarchs proved that nowhere in the world did they leave so many events to chance,» the statement of the New Democracy party concludes.
