“While the entire state apparatus and the citizens of large areas are facing the most intense natural phenomenon ever recorded in the history of the country, several people have found yet another opportunity to spread consecutive fake news,” said the government spokesman, Pavlos Marinakis.
“Today we saw some media slapping the Armed Forces in the back with unprecedented lies, which are trying in every way and in adverse conditions to help the citizens in the flooded areas. The fake news was solemnly denied, after it was first adopted by a candidate for president of SYRIZA”, he added.
“Yesterday in the official opposition they discovered supposed recommendations of scientists that predicted the intensity of the phenomenon and were not accepted, which never happened, while another candidate for the presidency of SYRIZA talked about the possible concealment of dead people. The culmination of vulgarity was the circulation of the false news about the alleged breaking of a dam to save Karditsa at the expense of other areas”, the government representative underlined.
And he added: “At the moment when the rescuers are making superhuman efforts to save our fellow citizens, the “usual suspects” found another opportunity to play their cheap petty political game. We call on them to show, even now, the minimum respect for those who are operating under adverse conditions in the flooded areas and for the people who are suffering.”
