Minister of Energy: Pre-election program is being implemented, DHKO should not leave, but if it does…

The Minister of Energy, Michalis Damianou, stated that the government's pre-election program is being implemented and expressed the view that DHKO should remain in the government. He emphasized that the party's continued participation is important as long as the governing program continues to be implemented. Mr. Damianou stated that he will respect the collective decisions of DHKO, even if they differ from his own position. However, he will support the party's continued participation in the government within the collective bodies. The statement comes during a period of political turmoil, following the scandal over the video and allegations of opaque contributions. Mr. Damianou referred to the need to update the economic data for the electricity interconnection, an issue on which he had disagreed with the president of DHKO, Nikola Papadopoulos.
