Andreas Loverdos

Although Loverdos made clear that he does not wish to sway voters in one way or another, his announcement may to some degree have the same effect, to the extent that voters follow his lead.

At 5pm, the party’s competent EDEKAP ethics and certification committee (which is in charge of conducting the election) decided to extend voting to 8pm, one hour later than had been scheduled.

The survey shows that that the party’s parliamentary representative, Andreas Loverdos, has a 3.6 percentage point lead over George Papandreou in the general pool of respondents.

Pikrammenos opined that it was Papaggelopoulos who was pulling the strings in planning the prosecution of ten prominent politicians, including former PM Antonis Samaras.

It is a dishonour for any politician to invoke a law that protects ministers from prosecution by requiring that Parliament lift his or her parliamentary immunity.

The probe is continuing in the cases of Samaras, Stournaras, Avramopoulos, Georgiadis, and Salmas, and sources say most if not all of those files will be closed by the end of April, due to lack of evidence.

MP Andreas Loverdos says Skopje changed the order of events in the agreement and will incorporate the amendments in its constitution only after the Greek parliament approves FYROM’s Nato accession.

The PM’s office has decided to fully adopt the dogma of Alternate Health Minister Pavlos Polakis, who recently told SYRIZA’s Central Committee that the party must “put some people in jail” in order to win the next general election.
