Athina Linou Responds to Allegations of Financial Mismanagement at Prolepsis Institute

by time news
Athina Linou responded to yesterday’s reports indicating that the president of SYRIZA requested an independent investigation concerning allegations against her related to grants from the Prolepsis institute, which she owns.

For days, Pavlos Polakis has been hinting at a lack of transparency regarding the funds received by the Institute, while last night’s reports indicated that Stefanos Kasselakis contacted the MP, who is in the US, and informed her about this investigation.

However, Ms. Linou’s post states that in her conversation with the president of SYRIZA, he categorically denied the existence of a decision for an independent investigation against her. “Personally, I would have no objection to it taking place immediately. The Prolepsis Institute and all its programs are anyway audited by certified accountants, international auditing organizations, and by state authorities. For each program, performance reports along with financial statements are submitted to every interested party, who evaluate them not only for their legality and proper management of the funds but also for their effectiveness. I have no doubt that any additional review will confirm that this work has always been legal, ethical, and effective,” among other things, Athina Linou stated.

Athina Linou’s post

They informed me that the ongoing falsehoods from a specific center included yesterday a supposed decision by the President of SYRIZA to request an independent company to investigate the allegations against me. Although the President, Mr. Kasselakis, categorically denied the existence of such a decision in our communication, personally, I would have no objection to it taking place immediately.

The Prolepsis Institute and all its programs are anyway audited by certified accountants, international auditing organizations, and by state authorities. For each program, performance reports along with financial statements are submitted to every interested party, who evaluate them not only for their legality and proper management of the funds but also for their effectiveness. I have no doubt that any additional review will confirm that this work has always been legal, ethical, and effective.

The midnight posts pretend to raise serious questions. However, they do not genuinely seek the easily accessible answers that arise from public data available to all and are fully transparent. They do a disservice to the work of a team of 30 scientists and hundreds of volunteers, pursuing only small party ambitions.

However, the collateral damage of these fascistic behaviors (“throw mud and something will stick”) is the inadequate discussion and insufficient addressing of inequalities in our country, as well as the obstruction of any serious and substantive opposition.
