It hasn’t been many days since the government spokesman commented that the role of MPs is to ask questions and assured that no question arose about the so-called “mutiny of the 11” over defaulted loans. What was that? did he burn Mario Salma?
The MP for Aitoloakarnania is being targeted for elimination by the ND parliamentary group, as he appears to have upset Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis with his attitude and comments, which he considered to be launching a systematic attack on the government and specific ministers. Mr Salma was targeted by Kostis Hatzidakis, Lina Mendoni and Adonis Georgiadis.
So, let’s start from the beginning. Mário Salmas was among the 11 who signed the question about non-performing loanswho stated that the issue was resolved for the banks, but not for the borrowers who were left unprotected.
The avant-garde for Hatzidakis
But Salmas did not dwell on this issue, like the other ten. In his public statements, he did not hesitate to make strong points to the Minister of Economy and Finance, commenting decisively: “You must have worked in your life to understand the citizen”. He is even asked to say whether he is photographing him with this “nail”. Kostis HatzidakisHe did not deny it. He even noted that “it is my attitude in life because I practice my profession.”
The match against Mendoni
In addition to the issue of defaulted loans, Mr. Salmas also wanted to raise another issue indirectly but clearly by taking aim at the Minister of Culture. Linas Mendoni. He denounced “photography competitions” for museum canteens and archaeological sites. The minister answered the question, but Mr. Salmas persisted.
He also criticized the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, for drug prices.
The shot that disturbed the prime minister in the summer
In the summer, in the parliamentary group, he once again took a strong stance and called for initiatives “for the many and not for the few”.
So according to information the Prime Minister he immediately took the floor saying “I do not accept suspicions that we are short, we did not get 41% because we were short”.
