PASOK–KINAL questions Maximos' denial of godparent ties with the "Frappe" family
The opposition party PASOK–Kίνημα Αλλαγής (PASOK–KINAL) has publicly questioned why the Prime Minister’s Office (Maximos Mansion) is determined to deny a godparent (koumparia) relationship between the prime minister’s family and the family dubbed the “Frappe” family, asking whether it is trying to hide something.
In a statement from the party’s Press Office, PASOK–KINAL says that this question arises from a coordinated response by government officials insisting that no such godparent link exists, despite what the party describes as incontrovertible evidence and photographs.
The Press Office further contends that attempts to deflect the issue with accusations of “ayrianism” (a reference used in the statement) will not prevent answering the allegations contained in the case file of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
PASOK–KINAL’s statement lists specific allegations about the conduct of a person identified as Mr. Xylouris, which the party says occurred “with the backing of the godparent relationship.” According to the party, those allegations include: - Directly demanding that ministers, general secretaries and the presidents of OPEKEPE advance his matters and unblock the tax identification numbers (AFMs) of his family members. - Boasting that he would arrange with the Prime Minister’s Office to stop official checks. - Demanding that a government member intervene to remove prosecutor Ms. Papandreou from the Greek office of the European Public Prosecutor. - Using the alleged godparent backing to secure meetings with senior state officials in key economic services.
All of the above claims are presented in PASOK–KINAL’s official announcement from its Press Office.
