The announcement of the Association of Judges and Prosecutors

“We have consciously chosen the past not to get involved in the public debate on the judicial investigation of the Tempe crash. Inside the torrent of information daily by the media, into the foggy landscape of revelations and documents, in the social tension that accompanies the most tragic accident in recent years and is now a key field of political confrontation, with the judicial investigation being ongoing, There is always a risk that our attempt to inform them to be easily misinterpreted and not to have a positive response.

By taking this risk, however, we judge necessary a placementeven in the form of its generality, since we are neither entitled to know the case of the case file, nor do we wish to influence the course of the case.

In the name of the trainee passengers of the train, the Greek people, who thirst for the revelation of the truth, the democratic institutions, which are strongly disputed by society in their effectiveness, the righteousness, which is subjected to the prestige of its decisions, Debt that falls on our shoulders.

The demand for justice that for millions of citizens is a request for us is a duty. The human river that closed the streets of all Greek cities a few days ago demanding the revelation of truth, actively expresses a stable social stake in making our work freely and independently without fear and this is power.

Judges and prosecutors are the first to highlight the state -run pathogens of state organization, infrastructure shortages and educated scientific potential that must permanently and reliably assist the judicial authorities.

We have sought the operation of the Judicial Police, not to create an additional staff of police duties, as it was, but to be staffed by personnel of various scientific fields, approaching at least the European average of speed, flexibility and adequate.

With these pathogens we are faced daily and they are called upon to deal with the judges investigating the case, as well as those who will be called upon to try it.

At the same time we have proven that First we firmly pursue the shield of our independence and Logist from any correlation with executive powerseeking both a ban on the occupation of public positions by judicial officers who retire from the body and the change in the way leadership choosing a constitutional review.

Repeatedly, we have repelled all kinds of suggestions to judicial officers, regardless of origin or power, while in the past, realizing the importance of protecting our judicial independence for the substance and image of justice, We did not hesitate to publicly express our protest over the Prime Minister’s letter No. about investigating the Tempe crash, considering that it was recommended “A direct violation of the principle of the distinction of powers and indirect undermining the prestige of justice.”

Citizens can therefore be confident that justice will respond to the fair social demand for the revelation of truth, not because it lives in a utopian world that there are no strong interests, not because there are no political aspirations, not because this case does not reflect chronic pathogens of our political and economic system, but precisely because it was established to exist and work beyond all. ”
