Marinakis criticises PASOK over the agreement on the Monastery of Sinai
Published
On Sunday, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis criticised PASOK for its statement regarding the agreement concerning the Monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai. Mr Marinakis accused the opposition of "opposing the country," according to the Macedonian News Agency.
The Monastery of Saint Catherine is located on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. It is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and belongs to the Orthodox Church. For Greece, it holds great religious and historical significance, which is why many Greeks follow this issue with particular attention.
PASOK had issued a statement on the agreement concerning the Monastery. Mr Marinakis responded to the party's positions and argued that the opposition's criticism is not correct. The two sides hold different views on the matter, and their specific arguments have not yet been fully made known to the public.
This dispute highlights the tension that exists between the government and the opposition on foreign policy issues. The next steps and possible developments regarding the agreement will follow in the coming days.
