Finance Minister Makis Keravnos accused Greek Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou of spreading "fake news" regarding the Great Sea Interconnector.
Keravnos claimed that Papastavrou had falsely stated that he was withholding studies that allegedly prove the project is not sustainable.
He said the studies, which were commissioned by Cypriot Energy Minister George Papanastasiou, had been properly delivered to the Greek energy ministry and even sent to Papastavrou's predecessor, Theodoros Skylakakis.
Keravnos made these statements while addressing the House finance committee.
