«In the face of the ongoing revelations about Mr. Patsis, the Mitsotakis government chooses lies or silence,» SYRIZA-PS said in a statement and stresses that «the position that allegedly the Southwest had no idea who Mr. Patsis was and what he did for so many years can only cause laughter.».
Specifically, SYRIZA comments that «the Southwest is “falling from the clouds” on the Patsis case and Ms Bakoyannis says that the Southwest was late to investigate the matter», but «it is revealed today by the newspaper “Democracy” that she participated in March 2015 in a magnificent event in Istanbul to support and promote the Greek-Turkish law firm co-founded by Mr. Patsis, which was attended by important Greek and Turkish bankers».
Following this, SYRIZA comments that «the position that allegedly the Southwest had no idea who he was and what he did for so many years Mr. Patsis can only cause laughter.».
In addition, SYRIZA reiterates that «as revealed today by the newspaper Documento, Mr. Patsis has applied for and has been subject to a debt restructuring arrangement for almost 700 thousand euros in EFKA and bailiffs» and that «apart from “blue grasshopper” of direct assignments and crow of the banking system, Mr. Patsis is a common bacchis.».
The opposition finally comments that «Mr Mitsotakis has proven that his ability to defraud and plunder public money is a selection criterion for his colleagues» and that «in Mitsotakis» party, which owes 392 million euros and will never repay, the Patsis are the norm".
