The Secretary of the Parliamentary Group of PASOK – Movement for Change and Head of the Internal Affairs Sector, Larissa MP Evangelia Liakouli, as a Special Speaker during the meetings of the competent Committee of the Parliament on the Bill of the Ministry of Interior on the alleged ..."innovation system in the Public Sector", was severely critical of the Government.

provisions, noting, among other things, indicatively, the following:"We knew that you have confused the drafting of Bills with the drafting of Press Releases, but in your "swan song", you exceeded yourself, in a grotesque "recital". You place at the beginning a sounding "catchy" slogan, "innovation", as a communication screen, to cover up the chaos of dozens of controversial legislative "patches".It cannot be believed, speaking of innovation, the Government of Mr. Mitsotakis, which has opened wide the "time loop" and "unearthed" from the past the most outdated "skeletons" of governance, reviving in series old party practices of the "deep State of the right".– Innovation is not clientelism and Innovation.– Innovation is not the partisan dependence of the Administration.– Innovation is not the dizzying direct assignments with the citizens' money.– Innovation is not the – quite by chance – "fallen" Diavgeia, when the news is shaken by the odors of scandals.– Innovation is not the State of the post-clerks, which you have now "planted" and in hierarchical positions of responsibility, altering timeless principles of civil service advancement.– Innovation is not the State of nephews, of best men and best friends.– Innovation is not the successive attempts to manipulate Local Government.– Innovation is not the unconstitutional alterations in the system of governance of local authorities, the "game" with the responsibilities of the Municipal Councils, which you continue even after the resounding "slap" of the Council of State.– Innovation is not the deficit of 304 million in Local Government in 2022,  nor the deficit of 148 million for 2023.– Innovation is not the understaffing of permanent staff, while at the same time perpetuating dependent generations of hostages of contract workers.– Innovation is not to make the operation of cities dependent, for the slightest, on the signature and "decided and ordered" of a Minister in Athens.– Innovation is not, the Prime Minister committing pre-election to radical Decentralization and, finally, to close his term of office with zero actions in the field of responsibilities.– Innovation is not a Government promising municipalities and regions a thousand myriads, but not implementing anything it has stipulated, not even the Uniform Code of Self-Government, which for so many years, since 2019, we have heard, but never seen.– Innovation is not a Minister, when he does his job and allocates to local authorities the money of the Central Independent Resources (CAP), money that by law belongs to them, to advertise himself every now and then with pompous Announcements, as if he were doing a "feat", as if he took the money out of his own pocket.– Innovation is not a Government, while it is spent for years on "quiet arrivals" for the role and future of the Decentralized Administrations, in the end, the only meaning and only thing to do is to demonstrate the appointment of officers to the leadership of the Decentralized Administrations.– No, it is certainly not innovation, the para-state of surveillance.– Innovation is not attacks on Independent Authorities and institutional slippage.– Innovation is not about citizens living on benefits and risking losing their homes, while the profiteering of a few and powerful rages.All this, This is not a legislative project, it is a pre-election communication fiesta, which degrades the legislative power and devalues the Public Administration, the Local Government and the citizens."
