Greece’s Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, fired back at Pavlos Polakis in a sharp escalation of their ongoing political feud, targeting the management of Greece’s Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (KEELPNO) during the SYRIZA government. “My dear Pavlos, you’re absolutely right to be scared… if I were in your position and had done what you did, while pretending to be incorruptible, I’d be scared too… remember this: in every court case we’ve faced each other, I won and you lost,” Georgiadis wrote pointedly on X.

The full post by Adonis Georgiadis reads as follows: “Does @pavpol2222 really dare to lecture me about EODY-KEELPNO’s lawyers? Has he lost his mind?
In case you didn’t know, Pavlos, a report has already been compiled by the National Transparency Authority concerning your tenure as Deputy Minister of Health — specifically regarding KEELPNO and the administration you appointed — relating to criminal breach of trust by lawyers amounting to €200,000, which has been forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for further action. And let’s not forget that back then, KEELPNO was paying as its lawyers even the defense counsel of the November 17 terrorists and the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire…
We did indeed hire Mr. Athanasopoulos, who as a lawyer beat you in every court case alongside @stamatispoulis, and who knows extremely well all of your illegal actions at KEELPNO. It is precisely for those violations — committed during your time as Deputy Minister and for which National Transparency Authority reports have already been drawn up, such as the criminal breach of trust amounting to €6,500,000 involving the well-known favored security company — that we hired him…
You’d obviously prefer that EODY’s lawyer be Mr. Apatsidis, so you could feel safe…
My dear Pavlos, you’re right to be scared… if I were in your position and had done what you did while playing the incorruptible man, I’d be scared too… remember this: in every court we’ve faced each other, I won and you lost.
Now that the reports are finalized, the legally required procedures will inevitably begin so that the state can recover what was lost through your actions. And the state’s lawyer will be the same one who has already beaten you on every count — and knows you and everyone else who was in on it. I remember a certain “tick-tock” you used to write to me once upon a time…
P.S. The only thing I regret is that it will take a few months for everything to be done properly, and by the time the court proceedings begin, you won’t even be a member of parliament for me to watch up close…”
Τολμάει και μιλάει ο @pavpol2222 σε μένα για τους δικηγόρους του ΕΟΔΥ-ΚΕΕΛΠΝΟ; Είμαστε με τα καλά μας;
Αν δεν το ξέρεις Παύλο μου, για τη θητεία σου ως Αναπληρωτή Υπουργού Υγείας έχει ήδη συνταχθεί πόρισμα της Εθνικής Αρχής Διαφάνειας, για το τότε ΚΕΕΛΠΝΟ και την διοίκηση που… pic.twitter.com/KNoR2sHWwy— Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης (@AdonisGeorgiadi) July 27, 2026
