The Minister of Sports, Yiannis Vroutsis, received Panagiotis Fasoulas in his office, with the minister stating that the government will not intervene in the Hellenic Olympic Committee (EOK) elections scheduled for December 20.
“We do not support and will not support any candidate. We do not interfere in the electoral process. We fully respect the self-governance of sports federations and their independence. This does not mean, however, that the State remains uninvolved. It has a clear institutional responsibility to ensure legality, transparency, and accountability. “It must carry out the audits provided for by law and initiate the appropriate procedures, without substituting for the judiciary or the federations’ governing bodies,” the Minister emphasized. At the same time, he provided an update on actions that have been taken, such as the referral of complaints to the prosecutor’s office and the suspension of grants.

“Our priority has been and remains the smooth operation of all Greek basketball events and the support of our national teams. Our international male and female athletes have the full support of the government; they are preparing, and I am confident that they will remain fully focused on this month’s important competitions. “No administrative or electoral dispute will overshadow their competitive efforts,” he added.
