“Will they agree with the Minister’s initiative or will they hide behind tricks and evasions again?” reports about opposition parties
“The initiative of Christos Triantopoulos to ask the pre -trial committee to refer to justice is a brave step that has no modern precedent. A step that allows him to be judged by regular judges who enjoy the constitutional guarantees of functional and personal independence. And an action that unleash the search for any criminal liability of politicians from toxic small -party conflicts. Those in which the other parties are still involved, “Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a post.
The prime minister emphasizes: “Despite the real facts, the opposition had discounted both the supposed guilt of Christos Triantopoulos and the tahale government” concealment “. So all the wings of the House are put in charge of their responsibilities: Will they agree, on the initiative of the Minister? Or, will they hide again behind tricks and evasions to justify the unjustified?
Today’s development, however, confirms something more. As I have announced, the time is approaching a drastic intersection in Article 86 of the Constitution. Already, since 2006, as a newly elected MP, along with 7 colleagues, including the current President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas, I had proposed the revision of this provision in order to distinguish the criminal element of the prosecution of ministers from the occasional political controversy. While in 2019, we reviewed the Constitution, abolishing the special deadline for the offenses of members of the Government and the Deputy Ministers. “
Mr Mitsotakis adds: “Indeed, although it is obvious that the Constitution is implemented immediately, with legislative intervention in the next bill of the Ministry of Justice, the opposite provision of the Liability Act on Ministers, which has become inactive since 2019, is repealed and explicitly abolished. Facilitating the search for truth and restricting or even eliminating the responsibility and involvement of the House in the criminal prosecution of ministers. For Parliament’s mission is not to acquit political friends or condemn political opponents! “
