We do not comment on statements or speeches by former prime ministers, was the laconic “response” of government sources to the very important criticism made by A. Samaras and K. Karamanlis during their speeches at the presentation of Manolis Kottaki’s book “The Karamanlis Secret Archives”. It should be noted that the event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Pavlos Marinakis, several ministers and deputies from the ND, as well as Dora Bakoyannis.
Antonis Samaras harshly criticized the government and personally Kyriakos Mitsotakis, on the law on marriage equality, enlargement – “de-ideologization of ND”, economic policy but also foreign policy, saying that the Prime Minister “makes a mistake by insisting on a mistake”.
“It is impossible and unthinkable to conclude a co-promise that artificially and maliciously conceals, under the pretext of appealing to the International Court of Justice in The Hague for the delimitation of the EEZ and the continental shelf, the attribution, with vague and diplomatically ingenious formulations, of the right to the International Court of Justice to decide on the extent of territorial waters or even on the territorial sovereignty of islands and islets. I am unequivocal on this,” he said in turn. Kostas Karamanlis, putting his own red lines in that perspective.
