«ΕΞΑΦΑΝΙΣΟΥ» και «ΔΕΥΤΕΡΗ ΕΥΚΑΙΡΙΑ»

Τον Ιούλιο που μας πέρασε, ήμουν ο μόνος πολιτικός αρχηγός που στάθηκε τόσο δυνατά και ξεκάθαρα ενάντια στην επιζήμια συμφωνία για την Τράπεζα Αττικής. Τη μέρα λοιπόν που πέρασε στα ψιλά η συμφωνία από τη Βουλή, ο «μισός ΣΥΡΙΖΑ» εξύβριζε…

Here is his full statement

“’VANISH’ and ‘NO SECOND CHANCE’

Last July, I was the only political leader who stood strongly and clearly against the damaging agreement concerning Attica Bank. On the very day that this agreement slipped through Parliament unnoticed, ‘half of SYRIZA’ was hurling insults at a female special advisor while the other half was hiding, refusing to comment on the systemic deal that has already cost taxpayers millions.

Immediately afterward, one half of SYRIZA wanted to permanently expel the other half. In the end, the two halves reached an agreement: ‘He should not have a second chance in the country’ and ‘VANISH from the country.’
Tolerance ends here.

Today, I filed a criminal complaint against Pavlos Polakis. A compensation claim will follow. The awarded compensation will be used to support inclusion initiatives.”

Polakis’s Response

On his part, Pavlos Polakis commented under Stefanos Kasselakis’s post as follows: “Welcome to the courtroom, along with my other accusers.” He added: “You’ve closed the chapter on your fraudulence and are fading off the map…”

Here is Polakis’s full response:

**”Ah, poor thing!!! Your Movement for Democracy isn’t going well, and you’re looking for a way to get back into the spotlight! Welcome to the courtroom, along with my other accusers – Adonis, Stournaras, Loverdos, etc.

P.S. You’ve closed the chapter on your fraudulence and are fading off the map…”**
