“Mr. Athanasiou is reviving the theory of the internal enemy in the face of heterodox and Muslim MPs” reports PASOK MP Rodopis
Against the deputy speaker of the Parliament, Charalambos Athanasiou put PASOK MP Rodopis Ilhan Ahmed after his statements Mr. Athanasiou on the Parliament channel about the feasibility of monitoring Muslim MPs.
The statement of MP Rodopis in detail
“I unequivocally condemn the public position-statement of the vice-president of the Parliament, Charalambos Athanassios, which revives the theory of the internal enemy in the face of heterodox and Muslim MPs. This statement, in addition to the spirit of intolerance that affects public morals, makes the Minority deputy suspect of committing acts of national humiliation and therefore worthy of monitoring. The political system of our country and the Parliament must defend the constitutional freedoms of the citizens and not separate the MPs themselves according to their religious beliefs. After the case of the president of our Movement Nikos Androulakis, we are facing a new institutional slippage”.
What did X. Athanasiou say on the Parliament channel
“Let’s suppose that a member of parliament who has a religious orientation completely different from the Orthodox… Let’s say a Muslim member of parliament from Northern Greece… I’m not saying that there is any threat to God… If we suppose that he gives some information to the neighboring country, where will the immigrants etc… Why shouldn’t it be controlled? National security comes first here. If there is the procedure that the legislator provides of course (to monitor the phones). What does the implementing, executive law of the Constitution say? What does our Constitution say in Article 19? It says verbatim: ‘law defines the guarantees under which the judicial authority is not bound by secrecy for reasons of national security’. That’s what the Constitution says.”
