Giannis Ragousis: “A prejudicing government can make fraud” – “Some things go beyond their own ridiculousness,” says Marinakis

The statement by the SYRIZA executive and former Interior Minister that “an affidavit government can make”, stressing that “anyone who submits a motion of censure wants an election.” Speaking to SKAI on Thursday morning (28.03.24) and asking if “is there a government capable of making fraud” in the election, Giannis Ragousis replied: “a government of perjury, which I do not want to believe such a government exists in Greece, of course it can, what is difficult to think? We rely on the fact that until now fortunately after ’74 there has been no adjudicating government’. It is noted that the statements of Giannis Ragousis come following the request of SYRIZA President Stefanos Kasselakis to hold elections under the supervision of international observers. “I will tell you my personal opinion: if it were not established in our country every time it goes to national elections to be appointed a service minister Internally, this government has lost all confidence so that if we hadn’t established it we should have invented it. No one can have confidence in a government that dared to organize a wiretap circuit from a government that I have no doubt is involved in altering the stationmaster’s talks. I can’t determine the level. The Interior Minister is decisive when elections are held and we will have international OSCE observers as is done in all OSCE member countries,” he said. The Marinakis response “No one takes them seriously but some things go beyond their own ridiculousness,” government spokesman Paul Marinakis replied in the meantime about the statements of Ragoussi when informing political editors at noon on Thursday (28.03.24). “The affidavit is said by Mr. Ragoussis and is from his head apparently. To tell us which government was attended by ministers who have been irrevocably convicted of justice on matters relating to the exercise of their duties. The answer is from the government of SYRIZA”. He added: “He says things in two extensions. One is the serious one and it’s about the conscious undermining of the state. Note: We did not say it and nor were we going to say it in 2019 about a government that was leaving and had a deputy office in Maximos after a statement by Mr. Kontonis, with two ministers condemned, a former minister who was clearly speaking about the need for political opponents to be imprisoned and we did not say anything about the elections because it is an acquis of 50 years who no one has questioned. They must understand that they are insulting the country and democracy It is a serious dimension and we will not let it pass so we have a duty to protect the city. Even these shameful actions require a skill. This is about the comical dimension of the thing. Apparently they see that no one buys these theories of conspiracy zeroism and undermining and they are looking to rise to their next failure. No one takes them seriously but some things go beyond their own ridiculousness.
