The bill for the reform of the operating framework of the HFSF was accepted in principle

With the votes of the governing majority, the bill “Reform of the institutional framework of the Financial Stability Fund and the Guarantee Fund for the Guarantee of Investment Services, Modernization of Regulations and other Organizations” was approved, in principle, by the Finance Committee of the Parliament.

ND stated in favor of the bill. SYRIZA, the KKE and MERA25 voted against. PASOK-KINAL and the Hellenic Solution declared a reservation.

“The HFSF was set up to save the banks and not to act as the public pillar of the banking system,” said ND’s rapporteur Giannis Kefalogiannis, adding that the HFSF’s mission was to ensure that the banks would return to the private sector healthy and “To claim that the government is losing control of the banks is at best politically naive, unless we ignore the strong supervisory role of the Bank of Greece and through it the European Central Bank.” said the ND rapporteur.

“The purpose of the legislation regarding the Financial Stability Fund is the disinvestment, the withdrawal of the State and the full return of the banks to the private sector. ‘ , for example, non-performing loans?

“You continue the same policy, you privatize the profits, you socialize the losses. I am very impressed that the head of the Fund says so comfortably that everything that happened to Piraeus Bank is going well and that there is no problem and in no way “the public sector has not been damaged”, said the special spokesman of PASOK-KINAL, Costas Skandalidis.

“How does the government know that the next three years will be the best time to sell the shares of systemic banks? What will happen to the portfolio of liquidated banks? The HFSF will sell its shares in 2022, despite the bad conditions or has any promise been given? “, remarked the special speaker of the Hellenic Solution Vassilis Viliardos.

“Now, the executives of the Financial Stability Fund will have to sell the shares of the banks for a long time. That is, to guarantee that the public sector will have a huge loss. you already gave them the unpunished, so that they can do it freely “, said the special speaker of MERA25 Kriton Arsenis.
