In a statement, the government spokesman described the decision as “one of the darkest pages in the country’s parliamentary history”, stressing that Article 61 of Constitution It explicitly protects the opinion and vote of Members in the exercise of their duties. The only exception, he recalled, concerns the category of slanderous defamation.
Criticizing the attitude of PASOK, who declared ‘present’ along with SYRIZA, KKE and New Left, He spoke of “the greatest parliamentary affirmation, which stacks the opposition party, once again in recent months, with the forces of the most extreme populism.”

In detail the announcement of Pavlos Marinakis:
Today, one of the darkest pages was written in the parliamentary history of our country. Specifically, during the vote to the permanent parliamentary ethics committee of the House on the request of the immunity of 14 New Democracy MPs on the offenses of the ultimate betrayal, the infringement of duty and the abuse of power, while expressing their opinion, their opinion, and their opinion, They voted for “present”, while the Greek solution, victory and cruise freedom voted in favor of the request.
And this, while Article 61 of the Constitution explicitly states that “the MP is not pursued, nor is it examined in any way for the opinion or votes it has given in the exercise of parliamentary duties, while the only case that the Parliament may, according to the Constitution, grant a license to prosecute it.”
In a nutshell, opposition parties adopted the Golden Dawn stance on the vote of MPs in the Memorandums and later the Greek solution for the Prespa Agreement.
The attitude of the parties of the “upper and lower square”, as well as their evolves, as sad and against the basic rules of our democracy and if they are, does not surprise us.
However, PASOK’s vote is a greatest parliamentary affair, which stacks the opposition party, once again in recent months, with the forces of the most extreme populism.
We call on Mr. Androulakis to review his party’s attitude and, in view of the discussion of the issue in the plenary of the House next week, even at the last minute, to save the pretexts.
It is inconceivable that, 51 years after the restoration of democracy, to discuss the obvious, such as the constitutional exercise of the duties of Members.
