Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis addressed the controversy surrounding the OPEKEPE farm subsidy scandal during a session of the Government Economic Policy Council. He claimed that several honorable politicians, including 13 members of his government, were subjected to public humiliation for weeks. Mitsotakis criticized the opposition, particularly the PASOK party, accusing them of exploiting the situation for political gain and failing to respect the presumption of innocence.
In response to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) announcement implicating members of his party in the scandal, Mitsotakis demanded an apology from those who engaged in what he termed "miserable" behavior towards his officials. He suggested that the involvement of the EPPO appeared to reflect internal political strife rather than a purely legal proceeding, thereby undermining the integrity of the investigation.
The government's stance is one of indignation, portraying its members as victims of politically motivated attacks. Mitsotakis maintained that the recent decisions regarding the investigations have revealed the true nature of the allegations against his administration.
