May 12, 2025 Party leader “Voice of reason” (Φωνή λογικής) Aphrodite Latinopulu In a morning interview on the TV channel Open made serious accusations against parties ND (Νέα δημοκρατία, new democracy) and Siriza (Συνασπισμός ριζοσπαστικής αριστεράς, the coalition of radical left) in the plundering of the means of Greek taxpayers under the pretext of helping “minor migrants”.

Latinopulu especially highlighted NGOs Ilontis (Ηλιακτίδα), based on Lesbos, led by a candidate for deputies from Siriz Vasiliki Andreadelly. According to the party, this NGO received “Huge amounts, tens of millions of euros in recent years”.

In a press release “Voice of reason” it says: “The Government of Mitsikitisa demonstrates the criminal indifference to the money of Greek taxpayers. Hundreds of millions of euros are spent on NPOs for supposedly minor refugees, while the Greeks cannot cover the basic life needs ”. Latinopulu emphasized: “We are talking about hundreds of millions. This money that we receive, as a European country, must remain with Greek taxpayers “.

She added: “This is a profitable business, begun back in 2009-2010. Everyone knew that they were coming and began to create legal entities of private law in order to get funding “. At the same time, the ND government cuts benefits to large families if those “Slightly exceeding profitable criteria”and sends millions to the stand -up NGOs without control and reporting. There are no checks of the age of “minors”, which is why adults are recorded as children.

Latinopulu called the government approach a tragic, which considers the solution to a demographic problem in subsidizing illegal migrantsand not in the support of Greek families. The party requires:

• immediately terminate the financing of NPOs who profit from illegal migration;
• give a report for each euro spent;
• enter strict checks of the age of migrants;
• To redirect resources to help to needing Greeks.

“Voice of reason” Stocks against “This absurdity”demanding a fair distribution of funds.

PS about the transfer of money to fictitious NGOs in Greece has been talked for a long time. However, it was A. Latinopulu who became the first to speak publicly on the air of the national television channel. At the same time, we are talking about many billions of euros, which either allocated from the country's budget or were received from international organizations to support and integrate migrants and refugees.
