“The changes in the Penal Code that will be voted by the Greek Parliament in a few hours are a milestone for the reform work of the government and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, for the benefit of all citizens,” said ONED President Pavlos Marinakis in a statement.
“The specific changes come to stop the incalculable damage caused by one of the worst laws in post-government history, that of the fast-track Penal Code brought by Syriza in June 2019. This is an emblematic reform, which restores the trust of the citizens in Justice and gives the stigma of true progress “, he adds.
Mr. Marinakis points out that ONNED submitted from the first moment to the competent Minister of Justice Costas Tsiaras, but also to the monitoring committee of the Penal Code, its proposals for the tightening of the provisions of the Penal Code. “And today we feel justified that our proposals are in the Greek Parliament to become a law of the state,” he underlines.
“In a Greece that is changing for the better every day, it is becoming increasingly clear that it is not really progressive to satisfy irrational demands of common criminals. On the contrary, it is progressive to shield the trust of the citizens in justice, to defend the social cohesion and to strengthen the feeling of security “, concludes the president of ONNED Pavlos Marinakis.
