PASOK MP Odysseas Konstandinopoulos urged SYRIZA MPs to return their deposits from foreign banks back to Greece in a letter to Parliament President Zoi Konstantopoulou.
In his letter, Konstandinopoulos maintains that apart from the European Central Bank, it is necessary that all citizens contribute to the stability of Greece's banking system by returning all the money that was taken out of Greece over the last few years beginning with MPs.
He especially called on many SYRIZA MPs who have openly admitted in transferring their money to foreign accounts instead of keeping it in Greek banks.
According to him, this is a "sublime patriotic duty" of all Greek MPs, and would set a positive example for the Greek citizens.
According to some reports, there are more than 700,000 Greek citizens that transferred their savings (said to be more than 300 billion Euros) in foreign accounts over the past few years -or since George Papandreou's PASOK government seized power-.
