New Democracy

Ruling New Democracy party Secretary Lefteris Zagoritis, referring to the Siemens affair, responded on Tuesday that "ND will not open a dialogue with the defendant, who must make his plea before justice, to testify about everything and about everybody, so that his allegations can be checked."

Zagoritis also accused the main opposition PASOK party of "wishing to conceal its guilt through correspondence."

He further said that "all are aware of all that has been confessed by one-time high-ranking PASOK cadre Theodoros Tsoukatos regarding the inflow of money from the 'black' funds of Siemens."

Zagoritis further said that "if PASOK wishes to conceal its guilt through correspondence, or it thinks that it will deceive anyone in this way, it is mistaken. Public opinion is aware that during PASOK governments the controversial scheduled contracts and agreements amounting to billions were signed."
