SYRIZA unleashed Mydros against the government and Costas Tassoulas over the case of Eleni Zaroulia’s appointment as a temporary employee in Parliament. He even speaks of a “political decision” at a time when the government of Alexis Tsipras and the former president of Parliament gave Nikos Michaloliakos the opportunity to appoint his wife to this position.

One of the SYRIZA government fireworks in 2015 was the abolition of privileges, but it never did. On the contrary, it tried to generate impressions and in that context the abolition of the right to hire re-elected former presidents of parliamentary groups was included. Only that SYRIZA itself suspended the implementation of the law from the first moment and repeated it in 2019, shortly before leaving the government to reach the case of the recruitment of Eleni Zaroulia today.

Nikos Michaloliakos took advantage of this opportunity offered by SYRIZA and Nikos Voutsis’s decision to suspend by another legislature the abolition of the possibility that the former presidents of parliamentary groups be transferred. And at the very least, the data that had been created when he made this decision showed at least which parties were struggling to reach the 3% threshold and enter Parliament.

SYRIZA’s hypocrisy regarding the issue of placing Eleni Zaroulia in the position of a transferable employee is obvious. Especially when they know that the deadlines for the satisfaction of the request are specific and have already expired, as well as that there is no possibility of refusal by the Speaker of Parliament.

The attempted connection to the October 7 trial makes SYRIZA’s intervention and the reaction of its executives indicative of the desperate attempt to create impressions against the ruling government and the Prime Minister, who immediately intervened calling for a “freeze.” the process.

When the Golden Dawn vows were welcomed

Politics, however, was the decision to accept the votes of the Golden Dawn in 2016 when SYRIZA was preparing to change the electoral law that will lead the country to dead ends and to duplicate elections through the simple proportional system.

The then President of Parliament, Nikos Voutsis, had stated that “there are no welcome or unpleasant votes in Parliament” and that “because the electoral law is a fundamental issue and each party has its own point of view, we are waiting to see what will he say and the Golden Dawn “

In other cases, however, Chrysi Avgi supported the decisions and proposals of the SYRIZA government, a more typical example being Alexis Tsipras’ proposal to place Vasiliki Thanou as chairman of the Competition Commission.

Υ.Γ. The possibility for former chairmen of parliamentary groups to place transferable employees in Parliament was given by a decision taken in 1997. In 2015, SYRIZA “cut privileges” abolished this possibility. Only the same year suspended the implementation of the abolition for a period. And in 2019, an electoral year, she suspended it for another term. Caged the next parliamentary majority.
