We are not replacing the judiciary, unlike the opposition which is trying to functionalize a tragic accident. There are official expert reports. All are taken into account by the relevant bailiff and he draws his conclusions. It is best not to broadcast the hearings on television or during briefings by civil judges.”

Asked about post-election partnerships and this Nikos Androulakis, president of PASOK-KINAL said, Marinaki note: “What does he want? Not seeing his interviews? He said it himself. He tried to put the pieces back together yesterday. I think he made things worse. His colleagues reported them. The only party we have not heard of as a possible interlocutor is ADARSYA and is it the government's fault? The government is trying to implement its program and that is what it will be judged on. M Androulakis has chosen to appeal to parties that some consider progressive and that we consider regressive.”

On theafternoon eventand the speech of former Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis on Greek-Turkish relations and the timetable for the next meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoganhe said that Maximou and the government, all together, are trying to strengthen the country.

Asked about the Minister of Health's statements Adonis Georgiades that it was a mistake for Sakellaropoulou sit down to eat after the vote on the law on same-sex couples, Marinaki said: “MS. Sakellaropoulou is the President of the Republic who has honored and honors the institution with her presence and who exudes prestige. We have explained why the Prime Minister's candidate for the next term is Kostas Tasoulas. It goes without saying that Adonis Georgiades can express his point of view. He made his value judgment and he did very well.

He is then asked if the PES workers are a bunch of misery, he responded that the Health Minister was not referring to NHS workers and added: “This is opposition propaganda. The Minister and the Government are trying to hold NHS workers accountable. Improve the conditions in which they work. It was for such a project that Mr. Georgiades went to Patras and some saw fit to address the minister and describe him as unwelcome. If you consider it a democratic attitude that a small minority considers it undesirable, I think that is not a healthy protest. Mr. Georgiades refers to small minorities who present themselves as preachers of rights but who have achieved nothing because in the end we have no concrete demands. It's about knowing how we demand, what we demand and what we achieve. We have done a lot, our goal is to give more. We will continue in this direction.

“Much has been done in health care, but much more needs to be done in the emergency room. » » remarked Marinakis.
