New Democracy spokesperson Sdoukou defends policies amid OPKEPE scandal

Alexandra Sdoukou, spokesperson for Greece's New Democracy party, used television interviews to argue that citizens care more about everyday matters such as price stability, income, health and education than political disputes. She highlighted government actions including tax reductions, measures to lower unemployment, a €150 child benefit, a €300 pension supplement and assistance with fuel costs, and said the administration will keep focusing on these issues at events like the Thessaloniki International Fair.

Commentary in the Greek press points to what critics describe as a double standard by the ruling party in the OPKEPE scandal. While New Democracy invokes the presumption of innocence for its own members, it publicly celebrates the arrests of opposition figures, suggesting a selective use of legal principles for political advantage.
