[01] PASOK on Siemens affair
A main opposition PASOK party spokesman on Monday left open the
possibility of PASOK "taking initiatives" for the tabling a proposal
regarding "favourable treatment" for one-time Siemens Hellas CEO
Michalis Christoforakos, "or anyone else who will produce evidence upon
the opening of Parliament or during some other summer recess
committee."
PASOK spokesman George Papaconstantinou reiterated a proposal on
"everything and the entire flow of money to light" and stressed that
"the citizens are realising that the government's political time is up:
resorting to the polls is the salvation, since a change in course is
urgent."
Papaconstantinou replied in the affirmative to a press question of
whether PASOK guarantees that it did not receive financial support from
Siemens during the period when current MP and former minister Costas
Geitonas was PASOK's treasurer or when George Papandreou became the
party president.
Asked whether he maintains that no Siemens money entered PASOK's
coffers or whether merely that Papandreou was unaware of such a
development, Papaconstantinou said "we have no evidence whatsoever over
(Siemens) money funneled to PASOK's coffers."
Finally, in answer to another press question, Papaconstantinou stated
that "we are here to listen to his (Christoforakos) evidence ...
evidence is that which clearly links funding with persons and parties."
