The governor of the Bank of Greece Yannis Stournaras has rejected the request to attend a hearing of the Parliamentary Commission of Institutions and Transparency.
In his letter to the President of Parliament Zoi Konstantopoulou Mr. Stournaras explained that he cannot cancel scheduled meetings at the last moment.
