The government spokesperson, Sophia Voultepsis attempting to downplay the issue, said that this case is similar with the case of the MP Xoulidou, end aims to lead the country to early elections.
Furthermore, Mrs. Voultepsis characterized this case as an "appalling show", which Tsipras hurried to adopt.
The whole statement of the government's representative is as follows:

"After the 'complaints' for money boxes and the TV shows about Xoulidou, now Chaikalis is involved in this badly-played show.
It is obvious that these miserable performances are taking place in order to block the election of the President of the Republic and the country to be led to early elections.

The haste of Mr. Tsipras, to adopt the alleged complaints shows the persons who choose to swim in the mire."
