What did he say about hunger strikers Panos Routsi
“It was a very important visit, as has been done in other countries, and I consider the meetings extremely constructive, as evidenced by the relevant ministers, but as it emerged from Mrs Kovesi’s press conference, her meetings with members of the Greek government,” Paul Marinakisfor the visit of the European Prosecutor when informing political editors.
“I heard her answers very carefully. To emphasize the great value of the subscription in every investigation carried out by both the European and the domestic prosecutor’s office, Mrs Kovesi said many and interesting, and I think that the way he responded, many things have been confirmed, which we have supported many times as a government, without any government. He talked about 3,000 ongoing surveys throughout Europe. He said that corruption is not a Greek phenomenon, it is a European and not just a phenomenon. That the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, as some want to convince us and persuade citizens, is not settled in Greece but is investigating hundreds of cases. He spoke specifically about three thousand complaints, including some complaints in Greece, stressed exemplary cooperation with the Greek authorities, “Mr. Marinakis stressed and added:
“Many and important he said about Greek ministers, which shows the completely opposite of a disposition. Anyone who listens to Mrs Kovesi understands that the Greek government’s concealment about investigations are tales of Halima. This fairy tale is going and this narrative will have nothing to support the opposition parties. “
“He apparently talked about the great dimension of OPEKEPE’s scandal and agricultural subsidies, and there he said that it is not a case of agricultural subsidies that only plague Greece as a phenomenon. From then on, he made a series of important remarks about the big case of the Customs, where the Greek side and the government’s initiatives and the way the authorities acted, operated exemplary in the port of Piraeus. I think the essence is that we have, for our part, do too many actions at the level of the Ministry of Citizen Protection, with the dismantling of dozens of large criminal organizations, and obviously a very important job is being done at European level to address such morbid phenomena that have very significant crims. This is the truth, this is the reality. And the outbreaks of offenses, corruption, interpretation are everywhere, all over Europe, obviously there are also in Greece, and the debt of the state with the functioning of independent justice, but also the interventions that the government can make, it is all these outbreaks to be treated and the culprits are led to justice. “
“It is also very great that we all agree, something that has already been announced by the Prime Minister, that Article 86 of the Constitution must change, something that the European Prosecutor has welcomed. And I hope with the assistance of the other parties, as an expanded majority is required, to act on the forthcoming constitutional review, as provided for with the two meeting of parliament, “Mr Marinakis noted.
“What is not the case is all that has tried to create the opposition in the country and the willing means to support any hostile – not only for the government but also for the country – that a prosecution has been created in Europe that has actually been installed only in Greece and investigations in Greece only.”
“We are here to respond with elements and spoil the soup to all those who are trying to tool a tragedy, to tool a judicial investigation, the bass and politically survive and the willingness of those media,” he added.
For the arrest of Greeks by Israel, Mr Marinakis referred to the ministry’s announcements and said that yesterday there has been a passage and the Greek ambassador was going to the spot.
“I live in what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced and the answers provided by both the Foreign Minister and the Foreign Ministry spokesman. Obviously we are above the subject, it is very worthwhile for us. I don’t think I need to add something more, since the competent ministry has been placed so shortly before. “
Mr Marinakis on the issue of Miran Mirage to Ukraine, the government spokesman said: “Greece is not going to be in such a process. I have no picture of such a request, I do not know that, but whatever it is, it will not even go into this process, not even our country. Deny it. “
Mr Marinakis said on the issue of calling Mr Mylonakis to the exam.
“I see no attitude change. This is how some want to baptize it to satisfy the fairy tale they want to sell to society and I am referring to the opposition. On the day the first list of witnesses and the representatives of the parliamentary majority was filed, and I have clearly said that it was a first list, we did not reject any other request in principle.
The first list agreed about 75% with requests for opposition sums and we promised that within a month we would update this list on the basis of the first deposits. We never denied either Mr. Milonakis’s summons, nor did he refuse to do so, nor any other witness.
In a number of answers and in political editors and in my television interviews, I have said that no one is excluded, but it remains to be seen what will happen from data and data to update this list. “
“The reason Mr Mylonakis, who has already testified twice, has responded to the House twice, the reason he chose to send this letter before the end of this month is because we have seen the needle stuck in the opposition and especially to PASOK because Mylonakis testified, when will Mylonakis deposit? ” My soul has been saddened, that is, the representatives of the parties.
So in order not to stick to the needle, as a PASOK high -ranking executive has said, for the needle to get rid of it at least, because in other things he does not seem to be detached, Mr Mylonakis said from the beginning, he put himself at the disposal of the examination committee.
“The order of martyrs will not change time. It will be done as provided and as the Inquiry Committee decides. In order to stop this fairy tale, Mr. Mylonakis said to end this story and as I have said, anyone who is judged on the basis of evidence that he should go to give answers will go to give answers. So let’s see what else they can say, let’s hear the deposits understand what’s going on, because the issue is really a big wound that we all have a responsibility.
We are not here to go into a logic of dissemination of responsibilities, as we have our own responsibility, we are not going to hide our own responsibility. And obviously it is not the emptying of the parliamentary group. None of our parliamentary group denied either Mr Mylonakis’ summons, nor anyone else. We just need not to falsify reality, “the government spokesman said.
Marinakis for Routsi: We will run out of limits not to happen worse
About the case of hunger striker Panos Routsi and asked if they even think of legislative intervention but also if the prime minister thinks visiting the cheerful father, Mr Marinakis replied.
“I’ll answer as a father too. Because I am a father and I understand how the prime minister treats it if he respects this role and is a politician, The last thing will be to use this drama to reap political benefits. Those politicians who went not to respect this man. We are humanly on his side, but what the decision will be in a request is a decision of justice. There is no legal vacuum right now and justice itself has said that any request can be answered in the audience. In the trial. Away from us any intervention in justice. Greece will not become “banana”. We will not enter this process. They are asking us to abolish the foundations of our democracy. “
On whether the government will act politically: “I hope we never get to this point and we will run out of limits that nothing worse will happen. But we cannot overthrow the basic rules that keep our democracy durable and upright. “
