Greece’s brash Parliament President Zoe Konstantopoulou on Monday threatened to have Bank of Greece Gov. Yannis Stournaras — the former FinMin — brought before a Parliament committee by … force, if necessary.

The outrageous statement comes after Stournaras proposed seven alternative dates when he can be appear to testify before a Parliament fact-finding committee probing an extra-judicial settlement between the Greek state and German multinational Siemens, a deal that Stournaras signed off on when he was the finance minister.

Nevertheless, Konstantopoulou was adamant that the BoG government must appear on June 26 at the institutions and transparency committee, which she chairs.

The threats come after repeated attacks on the Greek central banker, who heads up the autonomous Bank of Greece, by Konstantopoulou. She was upset last week when Stournaras warned that a lack of a deal between the leftist government and institutional creditors put the country’s euro membership  at risk. In an eyebrow-raising attack, Konstantopoulou called the annual monetary report compiled by the BoG to Parliament as “unacceptable”, without going into further details.

The radical leftist politician referred to provisions she said were listed in Parliament’s regulations envisioning the forced presence of a witness, or in case, the influential central banker.

Stournaras has informed Parliament that due to the incredibly sensitive ongoing negotiations between Greece and its creditors he could not appear before the committee on June 26, offering instead seven other dates!

In a bid to point to an “urgency” in the matter, Konstantopoulou claimed that the “Siemens scandal” has been rampant for decades. Even more indicative was her prejudiced statement that “today it includes a cover-up scandal, of which a portion has a signature by Stournaras.”
