Interior Minister Theodoris Livanios has appealed to the Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court in order to investigate Kyriakos Velopoulos' allegations of fraud in the national elections.
Mr. Livanios made this move known in Parliament, responding to a question from independent (former ND) MP Marios Salmas about a “conflict of interest” because the company SingularLogic, apart from managing the election results, also has other contracts with the public sector.
The minister stressed that the counting and issuance of the official election results are carried out by judicial representatives and by the court of first instance and not by the company, whose role is their proper transmission so that national elections do not resemble student elections (i.e. where every faction claims to be first).
Mr. Salmas, however, clarified that he himself is not raising an issue of the integrity of the electoral process, drawing Mr. Livanios' satisfaction because, as he said, the MP's position does not coincide with Mr. Velopoulos' “rant”.
