Alexandra Sdoukou responds publicly to the controversy.
In her statement, Sdoukou also criticized PASOK for attempting to link the scandal to New Democracy, urging the opposition to contribute responsibly to the ongoing investigation into agricultural subsidy mismanagement. She stated that the party consistently suspends members immediately once any criminal involvement is detected.
«Στο ΠΑΣΟΚ αποδεικνύονται πραγματικά ανεπίδεκτοι μαθήσεως... Ο κ. Χιλετζάκης ήταν ανενεργό μέλος μας εδώ και χρόνια... Είναι πάγια και αδιαπραγμάτευτη αρχή της Νέας Δημοκρατίας... ας συνδράμουν επιτέλους ουσιαστικά στη διερεύνηση του τι πήγε στραβά με τις αγροτικές επιδοτήσεις όλα αυτά τα χρόνια».
PASOK Challenges New Democracy’s Account
PASOK issued its own statement shortly after Sdoukou’s interview, disputing the claim that Chiletzakis had been inactive. The party asserted that he had remained engaged and had even attended a New Democracy agricultural policy event in May 2025 alongside government ministers.
PASOK challenges the narrative presented by New Democracy.
In its statement, PASOK remarked that Chiletzakis appeared very active for someone described as dormant. The party questioned the accuracy of New Democracy’s portrayal of his status.
