“The government does not instrumentalize judicial decisions as it pleases,” pointed out the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis. “In this particular case, the Criminal Code that was passed in 2019 by the then SYRIZA government, shortly before it left power, was applied. Why; Because necessarily, every defendant is tried based on the most lenient legislation that has been in force – even for one day – from the time of the act until the irrevocable adjudication of the decision” he added.
“The trial took place with legislation formulated in 2019 by SYRIZA, with provisions more favorable to the defendants,” said Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis speaking to ERT.
“Rena Dourou was targeted because her work in the Attica Region had to be tarnished”, commented Sokratis Famellos. “The decision exhausts the attribution of responsibilities to official actors, and indeed with low penalties”, underlines the KKE.
“The life of a Greek is worth something less than 400 euros,” states the Hellenic Solution. “Shame and crime against justice and the rule of law,” said Zoe Konstantopoulou.
