PASOK spokesman’s response to the ruling party’s claims on the opposition’s proposal for pre -trial investigation
“Any offense, in conjunction with Article 15 of the Criminal Code, can also be committed by omission, especially by persons who have a special legal obligation due to jurisdiction,” Kostas Tsoukalas told the Open, discussing extensively on PASOK-KINAL’s proposal.
He noted that “the leadership of the Ras, which the government relies on, is appointed by the Minister of Transport. So the fact that the jurisdiction belonged exclusively to Ras is completely inaccurate. Is the minister just to cut ribbons? ” He emphasized that “the preliminary committee is a preliminary committee and will come to evaluate whether to prosecute K. Karamanlis”, while “the New Democracy says” no “from the locker room and calls us not to speak at all about possible criminal acts.”
Mr Tsoukalas described that the possible deception was that “he was aware of K. Karamanlis a number of elements, as Ras informed him two years before that there was insecurity on the railways and called for interventions, and four days before the same principle he sends him a document. What happened in the accident. ” “Mr Tsalidis also sent him a document in 2021. There are documents showing that the minister has become a society by various officials and Ras, not by a simple citizen, of the enormous security problems,” he added.
He made it clear that in PASOK “we are not saying that he predicted and accepted the possibility of deaths. If we were to say this, we would ask to be checked for homicide. We say to be checked on the basis of Article 291 if it could predict and prevent disturbance, if the possibility of disturbance as a result of its inactivity was accepted. ” He said that “there is a fine line between possible fraud and conscious negligence” and that “conscious negligence means that, although it had the data, it did not think it could happen.” He stressed that “this is a matter of evidence that can start and take place in the debate in pre -trial, but the government wants inhabited.”
According to PASOK’s relevant press release, “in question, in fact, the Deputy Minister of Migration and Asylum Sevis Voloudakis who participated in the same panel, how the minister could be checked when they were checked because they may not have been informed by him: Service persons who are referred to, and they have been subjected to protocol documents that have been informed.
Commenting on “what the government argues about Mr. Karamanlis’ sole administrative responsibility”, Mr. Tsoukalas wondered: “If he had only administrative responsibility and does not have the safety of security, what infringement would they go for, as it leaks?” He commented that “here we have terrible contradictions” and that “ND, because it cannot degrade our own proposal, she contradicts what she has already done or what she will do.”
Asked about views expressed by lawyers in the public sphere, he said he would not evaluate any lawyers, “everyone is excellent colleagues, but that doesn’t mean we have the same view.” He said that “any article referring to acts when there is an obligation to prevent acts is also checked for omissions. Thus, under Article 291 and in conjunction with Article 15 of the Criminal Code for those who have a special legal obligation on the basis of competence or competence, obviously the crime can be committed by omission. “
As to why the prime minister’s name is not included in PASOK’s proposal, he stressed that “our proposal is solid and concerns those for whom a particular legal obligation is constituted. The prime minister has no direct responsibility for transport. ” He added that “Nikos Androulakis said that we are going to those who have been based on the Government Gazette either responsibility or competence. The Prime Minister’s special jurisdiction is not revealed by the GGS. Karamanlis comes from the Government Gazette for transport and security. ” He noted that the political responsibility “we have attributed to the prime minister in all tones” and that “here we come with a proposal that can stand in court.” As to why PASOK does not call for Mr Karamanlis referring to homicide: “Why it cannot be easily proven to a court that it had also predicted the possibility of deaths. While disturbance, it could be on the basis of the data contributed to the process. “
He then noted that PASOK was interested in “with evidence to become a serious process for the truth to shine”. “Neither are we interested in caressing the ears of people who are reasonably rage, nor will we obviously have a silence as the ND wants not to evaluate the responsibilities of its ministers. We want on the basis of what justice and laws provide for adequate control. And that also differentiates us from all the other forces, “he said.
He finally estimated that, on the basis of the ND leaks, “we are told that Mr Karamanlis was decorative as a minister, he had no jurisdiction and they are adopted by a peculiar unbearable claiming that he could not be referred because he had no responsibility.” “So all the ND ministers are irresponsible?” He commented to add that the General Regulation on the basis of the Law of 4974/2022 “is signed by OSE and the Ministry of Transport, not Ras. RAS cannot not give security approval if there is a general regulation of movement. Their laws are. Don’t get us too. “
