The murder of the 29-year-old woman in Alexandropolis was mentioned by the Minister of Interior, Makis Voridis, and MPs who participate in the Committee on Public Administration, Public Order and Justice, where the bill on volunteering was discussed.
“Obviously, homicides are extremely unpleasant, especially when associated with conditions of domestic violence. Those who are familiar with our criminal law, know that there are aggravating circumstances, and therefore there is an increase in crime, especially when any crime is committed – I mean a crime of physical violence, bodily harm – in a family environment. “Obviously, homicide has returned to life and in any case the maximum penalty provided by the Penal Code is imposed,” said the Minister of Interior, adding: assessment of contingencies and the provision of palliatives. The mitigating factors of domestic violence are not directly related to each other, but a more general weighting of the perpetrator’s personality and the circumstances of the commission of these crimes. On the other hand, what, in my opinion, is the most effective approach, in the sense of having the correct criminal provisions and the correct application of the criminal provisions, in order to deal with these unacceptable murders, does not negate general issues that mainly have to do with stereotypical approaches, in the minds of many people, that have to do with gender relations. There, indeed, much more modern and much more demanding actions are needed, which, indeed, can also happen in civil society, without this meaning that the effort we must make and be continuous, to achieve the equality of is something that should be left to the action of civil society alone. “
“In the public administration we are allowed to say that our country in a number of indicators seems to trust women. 50% of public executives are women. There is enough left to be done in the issues of the representatives of the people. “There, the women who are elected, despite the existence of a quota, are in a low percentage and obviously there is much more that we have to do”, noted Mr. Voridis and added: “Especially in the Ministry of Interior, we are also proud to say that the most important we are women. The Secretary General of Human Resources, Mrs. Charalambogianni, is a woman. The president of the National Center for Public Administration and Local Government, too. “The pillars of administrative reform, therefore, are female and in this sense, we are staunch supporters of these actions.”
Concerns and concerns from the parties
Earlier, SYRIZA MP Alexandros Meikopoulos said that a 29-year-old woman was beaten to death and this is the 16th case of female homicide and spoke about the need for the State to develop policies to manage and deal with domestic violence. He also referred to the number of voluntary organizations dealing with gender protection and equality issues that need to be supported by the State.
The MP of the Movement for Change, Evangelia Liakouli, said that “recently three more murders have been added, reaching sixteen”. “Something is happening that the State can probably not realize and special measures are needed. “It is not only the voluntary organizations and individual initiatives that are very important, but also need special awareness and information campaigns, we need a targeted policy that will intervene in the local communities in the territory”, said Ms. Liakouli and warned that “Greece is rising on the list in the EU, dangerously “.
KKE MP Manolis Syntychakis stressed that in addition to the self-evident condemnation of these phenomena, there must be particular concern about the economic and social causes that leave women exposed to insecurity and multifaceted violence. They are the same causes that are responsible for the dramatic lack of state services for the prevention and treatment of violence, said the KKE MP.
“Every day we wake up and wait to hear who the next victim will be. “Today she was 29 years old, it is not possible to lose women every day, children to be left without their mothers, families to lose their daughters, their sisters”, said the MERA25 MP Fotini Bakadima and stressed that there must be a holistic strategy to hit the phenomenon at its root. “It simply came to our notice then. We must begin to use the term femininity. “We owe it to the families who cry over graves”, said Ms. Bakadima.
