Parliament President Zoe Kostantopoulou criticised the media on Friday for publishing what she claims are “inaccuracies” regarding the number of MPs who have received a state car.
Kostantopoulou pointed out that a total of 67 MPs — including 47 of her ruling SYRIZA party — declined the offer of a leased state car.
Based on the figures, of course, only 47 out of the total of 149 SYRIZA MPs obeyed a directive by PM Alexis Tsipras to decline the office — almost two-thirds of the radical leftist party’s MPs nevertheless happily picked up the keys for their new “ride”.
