According to the minister, more than 2,000 people have already withdrawn from organic livestock and beekeeping programs, and another 2,000 from organic farming

Parliament braces for a fiery two-day debate on OPEKEPE – Under the microscope: Blue and green players in the subsidy scandal

Today’s session will focus on New Democracy’s proposal for a parliamentary inquiry dating back to 1998. On Wednesday, the opposition parties (PASOK, SYRIZA – New Left) will present motions for a criminal investigation into former ministers Makis Voridis and Lefteris Avgenakis

“Party” with…organics you’ll see! By Tsiaras’s order, checks began on “fake” organic certifications to growers

Leading actors are agricultural cooperatives and an organic‑certification company run by a PASOK official, alleged to have issued 3,020 fake certificates in a single quarter, while a SYRIZA parliamentary candidate is also implicated – Vourliotis conducts checks for money‑laundering – The company’s response

The government immediately brings the first provisions for OPEKEPE in Parliament – The Simandrakos letters and Avgenakis
