Mitsotakis proposes incompatibility between Minister and MP after the 2027 elections
In the wake of the OPEKEPE case, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced on Monday a proposal that ministers should no longer simultaneously serve as members of Parliament after the 2027 elections. Under his plan, any minister serving in the Cabinet would be temporarily replaced in Parliament by the first runner-up, while efforts would be made to strengthen the role of MPs
OPEKEPE: Papakosta’s falsification over… cattle deemed a felony – What the European Public Prosecutor’s findings say about Karamanlis and Livanos
Interventions by the MP for Trikala are attributed to influence OPEKEPE and veterinarians so that livestock farmers in her constituency would receive illegal subsidies – No direct communication between Karamanlis and OPEKEPE – Livanos reportedly said that the Serres MP’s office was requesting payments for producers
The background with the reshuffle for OPEKEPE: The messages from Mitsotakis, the ministerial appointment of Schinas, Tourna, and Lazaridis
The most difficult decision the Prime Minister was called upon to make - The special cases of Ioannis Kefalogiannis, Kostas Tsiaras, Dimitris Vartzopoulos, Notis Mitarakis and Lakis Vassiliadis
Athanasiou on OPEKEPE: I asked for restoration of injustice to a farmer; there was no illegal act
As he says, he had asked the president of OPEKEPE to correct the reduced rating of a farmer in his region
Reshuffle at 12:30: Kefalogiannis, Tsiaras, Vartzopoulos and Kellas out – Schinas, Lazaridis and Tournas enter the government
Vartzopoulos will not be replaced – ND Secretary Kostas Skrekas is also expected to resign within hours – The names of those who resigned are included in one of the two OPEKEPE case files that reached Parliament earlier
Two case files on OPEKEPE submitted to Parliament – what they reveal about interventions and conversations between MPs and ministers
Tsiaras and Skrekas are informed in their conversations that what they are requesting is not lawful – An associate of Kostas Karamanlis asks for the approval of a request from 37 producers in Serres
The conversations in the OPEKEPE case file “unlock” which ministers may be heading for the exit – Mitsotakis’ decisions and possible dismissals over felonies
The 3+1 figures “on the verge” of leaving the government – A key factor for Mitsotakis will be the decisions he must make in cases where criminal prosecution for felonies is being requested
Tomorrow in Parliament the 2nd case file for OPEKEPE, the 3rd after Easter – A cabinet reshuffle is coming within the next 24 hours
Prosecutions are being sought for a total of 20 political figures from New Democracy, of whom 14 are sitting MPs and 6 are former members of the national representation
