  • [01] OEK president's resignation fuels speculation

    Minister of Labour and Social Protection Panos Panayiotopoulos is calling for an investigation into press reports alleging inappropriate behaviour of Angelos Economopoulos, former President of the Workers' Housing Organisation (OEK) who resigned over the weekend.

    "The aim of these actions [investigation] is to prove what exactly happened, and to hold guilty parties - if any - accountable," Panayiotopoulos said.

    According to the newspaper "PARON", Economopoulos inappropriately handled matters concerning Prodromos Emfietzoglou, President of Michaniki, a leading construction company in Greece.

    In a letter sent to Panayiotopoulos on Saturday, Economopoulos cited 'personal reasons' for his decision to resign.

    According to ministry sources, Panayiotopoulos and Economopoulos had problems cooperating, while problems had also arisen following delays in delivering workers' housing in Ioannina and Thesprotia, resulting in complaints from beneficiaries.

    Main opposition makes accusations, gov't responds

    Economopoulos decided to resign ahead of press reports making serious allegations against him regarding corruption, main opposition PASOK Spokesman Nikos Athanassakis said, commenting on the former OEK President's resignation.

    In response, Government Spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos said that PASOK was not in any position to criticise, given that the party did nothing to fight corruption during the 20 years it was in office.
