A harsh response to the statement issued by Koumoundourou, after the decision of the Special Court for Nikos Pappa, was issued by the government representative, Yiannis Oikonomou, who accuses SYRIZA of “trampism a la Greca” saying that “he calls on the people to enforce justice in the award of justice!”.

The statement of Mr. Economos:

In a liberal European democracy, such as Greece, the separation of powers applies and the judicial function is exercised by the courts alone.

SYRIZA, by not accepting this fundamental constitutional provision, questions the hard core of the Constitution and the State. What SYRIZA and Mr. Pappas say could be summarized as follows: there is no legitimacy, there is only expediency; decisions are only good and fair when we agree with them, there are no institutions, only people.

These are views that constitute him Trumpism ala Greca and refer to totalitarian regimes and not to a European rule of law.

The most dangerous thing is that at the end of SYRIZA’s announcement, threats are thrown against the judiciary and its officials, since SYRIZA calls on the people to impose justice in the administration of justice!

This alone constitutes disgust extremism of a manipulative kind and a direct shot against our Republic. Anyone who wants to replace Justice seeks to become a tyrant.

Mr. Tsipras, four hours after the unanimous decision to convict his oldest and closest associate, remains invisible and speechless.

He must answer:

– Will he take his due political responsibility for the works and days of his oldest and closest associate?

– Are there judges in Athens?

– Will he withdraw from the ballots and delete from SYRIZA the irrevocably and unanimously condemned Mr. Pappa?

If not, then for Mr. Tsipras to keep Mr. Pappas on the ballots, we understand how much Mr. Pappas “keeps” Mr. Tsipras.
