The government intends to go ahead with a planned Parliamentary inquiry into possible deliberate tampering with economic figures, government spokesman Yiorgos Petalotis insisted on Monday in response to questions.
"We insist on an investigation on all fruitful levels," he told reporters when asked about the government's plans, in light of a statement made on Sunday by Defence Minister Evangelos Venizelos.
Pointing out that a request for such an investigation had already been submitted to Parliament and signed by Pasok's entire Parliamentary group, Petalotis noted that the best means to use "would be those that truly resolved any 'shadows' that exist."
He did not confirm whether such a Parliamentary probe might begin within 2011, however, saying that several inquiries were currently underway and that the outstanding fact-finding inquiries would be activated "when there is time and the technical means".
