“Always in all the constitutions there was a regime of politicians”
The Minister of Justice, George Floridis, Speaking on ERT’s “At Center” show Wednesday night, he said the case of Temps will be resolved by justice, while expressing the position that a society should not have been mobilized on a lie
“Everything will be judged in justice. If there is a conclusion from these two years, for this terrible national tragedy, it is exactly that: that we should have entrusted justice from the beginning because everything will end up there. And we should not have lived what we have lived and have a Greek society to mobilize on a lie“, Mr Floridis said, saying that society was not allowed to discuss this tragedy itself.
As he explained, the Tempe tragedy should have led us as a people, first, to see that justice should investigate what had happened there, secondly, to give responsibilities where to be attributed to the third, to get flesh and bone “never again”.
“What does it ever mean again? That we should see and seriously discuss the state’s pathogens that led to this terrible accident and there we can correct them so that it will not happen again. “Mr. Floridis emphasized, reiterating that “for two years we dealt with successive lies that poisoned the soul of the Greeks and which actually led to a terrible category of the government and the Prime Minister: the category of concealment.”
Responding to the claim that the government was also involved in these lies, as the prime minister himself said one year and others the next – so some of the two times does not say the right thing – Mr Floridis made it clear: “The prime minister said” I said some things, then I said that. “
Asked what changed from the examination to the pre -trial investigation so that “Karamanlis, from innocent then, now be charged with a misdemeanor”, Mr Floridis replied that Quite simply what has changed is that the investigator now sent his name.
In the position that “our Constitution and our legal system has predicted a theatrical performance” with the potential to go-the case between a pre-trial committee in Parliament and the natural judges, the minister admitted that History was teaching us from the 19th century when the constitutions were made. “There has always been a regime of politicians in all the constitutions. That is, a separate criminal treatment of ministers mainly, so that there will be 1,000 lawsuits a day. “
“So the citizens have been a question for years: that the House can exert the prosecution and then take over the judges, the rest of the theater does not tolerate,” Mr Floridis stressed.
