The government spokesperson has accused PASOK of dishonesty regarding their explanation for voting in favor of Akrita’s appointment. PASOK previously stated they consistently vote for candidates across the political spectrum, excluding far-right nominees, justifying their support for Akrita. The spokesperson directly refuted this claim, labeling it a "very big lie." The dispute centers around a specific vote, questioning PASOK’s stated principles and consistent voting practices. The comments came in response to PASOK's defence of their decision, highlighting a growing tension between the governing party and the opposition. This exchange raises questions about transparency and political motivations within the parliamentary process. The specific reference to a “Hourdaki” vote implies a contradictory past action by PASOK.
