As he says, "The fist one is related to the nature of the investigated case. That is to the signals of the members of the National Statistical Service of Greece related to the revision of the deficit for 2009 carried out in autumn 2010, under the pressure of Papaconstantinou who held the position of Finance Minister at the time. A revision, which was a continuation of the initial exaggeration of the deficit made by the Government of Papandreou. The result of this revision was the worsening of the country's image, the imposition of yet more painful measures, and pushing it to a state of controlled bankruptcy."

According to Mihelakis, the second question is related to the signals of the economic prosecutors for an intervention in their work. He reminded that while the two prosecutors had been making progress in the investigation of the case with the National Statistical Service of Greece "an attempt was made to entice them, through the legislative act of the Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos, who supposedly prepared the establishment of the institution of the economic prosecutor."

"After the respective appeals of both economic prosecutors, the events well known to all followed, and yesterday another attempt was made to eliminate them, with the question of the Minister of Justice Miltiadis Papaioannou to the Supreme Judicial Council - whether they can remain in office", added the spokesman of New Democracy and ended his statement: "In any case we want the most prompt and complete disclosure of the case."
