Mr. Mitsotakis has a duty to tell the whole truth about the raging EYP surveillance scandal and to allow the judiciary, unhindered, to conduct an in-depth investigation.
In fact, there is no judicial system worth its salt which fails to win the trust of citizens, because in the final analysis trust is the bedrock of the democratic form of government.
There are great delays in the meting out of justice in Greece. Shocking incidents like the one in Thessaloniki remind us in the harshest manner that such delays are impermissible for a state operating under the rule of law.
Christodoulopoulou cited the period of the first SYRIZA administration when, 'They [judges] attacked us because we did not have a historical relationship with the judiciary and all of them were either right-wing or PASOK.'
The #ΜeToo movement appeared in Greece quite belatedly. Now that the first wave of charges has passed, it must not be forgotten or treated with contempt. All cases that have opened must be painstakingly investigated.
Without exaggeration, in prosecuting Golden Dawn Greece has demonstrated internationally the value of unalloyed democratic principles in a world confronted with deep transitions.
The Syriza-Independent Greeks government soon realised that the independent judiciary, free-thinking media, and the thinking public would not allow them to bring their plans to fruition.
On the one hand Parliament must probe to find the truth and on the other it must ensure the legal and constitutional order. The one is a precondition for the other.
Papangelopoulos alleges that there is a criminal cabal that wants to annihilate him and that he is a victim of political persecution.
The country needs a viable insurance system, and the government must swiftly address the issue,
There are a number of major cases in Greece that have reached the Supreme Court and it would be well for such cases to be given priority and not to be put off due to procedural issues .
The announcements over the last four years of the Association of Judges and Prosecutors had denounced the stance of the Tsipras government, which had repeatedly attacked the judiciary.
The disputation of judicial decisions and choices will continue, will not be eradicated, and will divide society from time to time.
The trial of Golden Dawn as a criminal organisation has dragged on for four years, longer than the Nuremberg trials.
It has been proven that the judiciary was used as a tool. High Court judges were manipulated and prosecutors were forced to or simply agreed to serve devious aims.
Government interventions in the judiciary occur almost daily as do governmental machinations. The effort to control, influence, and politically guide judicial functionaries were patently obvious.
Now that the Novartis scandal has boomeranged, the PM and the government are all either keeping silent or blaming the delays in the judicial process.
Ex-Deputy Supreme Court Prosecutor in open letter outlines a string of procedural violations and alleges targeted prosecution of politicians without the necessary evidence in the Novartis case.
The true bone of contention is reportedly who will serve as Supreme Court Prosecutor, as one of the candidates [Eirini Kalou] was a prosecutor in the Vatopedi Monastery land exchange case that bedeviled PM Kostas Karamanlis and New Democracy for years.
With a general election campaign in full swing and a government that is collapsing SYRIZA insists on appointing the successors of the outgoing Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and its chief prosecutor.
A Volos prosecutor vetoed his seventh furlough and his supporters are demanding that this prosecutorial authority be abolished.
