The leader of the Greek Solution party, Kyriakos Velopoulos, sharply criticized the country's government for its inability to protect national interests and widespread corruption.

Velopoulos emphasized: “We have reached a point where we are being persecuted by everyone for corruption. According to the stress test conducted by the European Commission, Greece beats Bulgaria in corruption by 97 to 88! Greece is the European champion!” The politician did not spare sharp comparisons with “the state of the Cosa Nostra, Colombia” and recalled that OLAF, as well as the European Commission, are monitoring the situation. “Our international humiliation is outrageous,” Velopoulos added.

“Skopje is returning the name ‘Macedonian’ without ‘Northern’ to the basketball federation! Why is this happening?” he exclaimed in parliament, adding that “even the barefoot people in Libya are laughing at us.” According to him, the Mitsotakis government has “turned Greece into a hostage. We are being slapped from all sides,” and the only way out is “to go to elections,” he added. | BGNES
