Greek commentator Dionysios Temponeras appeared on the program "Ef. Syn." to criticize the government's response to a legal issue. He described the authorities' actions as a panic move or an attempt to undermine Alexis Tsipras. He claimed that after the government was caught regarding article 23, it chose to label Tsipras as corrupt. The remarks suggest a belief that the administration is deflecting blame. His statement was reported in the media.
