Politics is one thing and companies is another Konstantopoulou says

Politics is one thing and companies is another, the President of the Parliament Zoi Konstantopoulou said during the Conference of Presidents of Parliaments of the Member States and the European Parliament, which takes place in Rome.

"There must be a clear message to all those who negotiate that the countries are not companies, the European Union is not a company to sign agreements and treaties concerning countries or the European Union as a company," Konstantopoulou noted adding that this a questionable strategy which at the end of the day poses problems to the citizens and creates difficult living conditions as is the situation with countries that have signed memorandums.

"Therefore, we have to understand that these negotiations should not continue to be as secret as they are," the President of the Parliament noted stressing the need for a more democratic process.
