Response to the incident with the "cutting" of MP Kostis Efstathiou from a scheduled broadcast of RIK, is given by the EPP in an official statement.
Specifically, with its statement, the EDEK wishes to stress that "what has seen the light of day does not correspond to reality" and therefore, as it states, it wishes to quote the facts exactly as they have happened.
"On Friday 29 April, journalist D. Finikarides contacted the party's Press Office at around 11 am and informed that the party's MP, Kostis Efstathiou, asked to speak on the noon broadcast of RIK about the convening of the Central Committee of the EPP. The journalist, quite rightly asked if the Party President wanted to come out immediately afterwards to respond to what his colleague K. Efstathiou was going to say.
After consulting with the Party President, the Press Office of the EPP informed the production of the show that the President of the EPP, Marinos Sizopoulos had no intention of entering into any public confrontation with the MP of the party," the EDEK concluded in its statement.
