A political storm in general in the political scene and rapid developments in SYRIZA in particular were caused by the posting of Pavlos Polakis, who, on the occasion of the Special Court’s conviction for Nikos Pappas, targeted judges and journalists in his post.

The reaction of all the parties was immediate, including that of SYRIZA, which, through leaks, announced the deletion of Pavlos Polakis from the party’s electoral list and possibly his deletion from the party as well. Everything shows that in the political secretariat of SYRIZA on Tuesday, there will be rapid developments, with the Cretan politician resorting to a new post, “warning” that EVERYTHING will be said there.

Leaks from Koumoundourou hinted that Alexis Tsipras has already decided to delete Pavlos Polakis from the SYRIZA electoral ballots, while the question of his deletion from the party is open.

The developments are “photographed” by the evening announcement of SYRIZA. As announced, by the decision of Alexis Tsipras, Pavlos Polakis will be referred to the Ethics Committee of the party, while he was already deposed as head of Transparency, giving his place to Yannis Ragousis.

Prosecutor’s intervention for the suspension of Polakis

The ex officio intervention of the Athens First Instance Prosecutor’s Office was caused by posts on social media, including that of the MP dismissed by SYRIZA, Pavlos Polakis, for high judges who participated in the composition of the Special Court that sentenced former minister Nikos Pappas.

In the posts, in addition to the supreme judges, there were also references to judges who participate in the composition of the other Special Court, where the former minister Dimitris Papagelopoulos is on trial, while in his post the expelled member of parliament also referred by name to journalists and other actors of public life.

The intervention was made by the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office Antonis Eleftherianos who instructed the head of Criminal Prosecution Eleni Triantafillou to carry out a preliminary examination for at least two offences, that of inciting citizens to commit crimes and violence against judicial officers.

The prosecutor’s intervention covers a series of posts on the internet and not only the controversial post of Polakis that led him out of SYRIZA, for whom the Prosecutor’s Office, due to his parliamentary capacity, will send the case, as planned, to the Parliament for further action.

The announcement of the Union of Judges and Prosecutors

On the occasion of the suspension of Pavlos Polakis, the Union of Judges and Prosecutors states in its statement that “the public threats of the former minister and current MP Pavlos Polakis regarding group “liquidations” of Institutions of the Rule of Law and Freedom of the Press constitute a heavy blow to the Democratic State of the country and lack of empathy for the functioning of the Institutions of Democracy”

Furthermore, the EDE states that “the issue of criticism of judicial decisions becomes of secondary importance in the face of the shocking images of rewarded persons and calls for “the immediate restoration of constitutional legitimacy”.

Reactions from the parties and the government – They demand the deletion of Polakis

“SYRIZA has a program and policy that have been approved by its congress. It also has principles of operation that are characterized by democracy, collectivity and provide for the defense and not the undermining of its policy by its members and much more by the leadership staff” according to party sources.

“Anyone who believes they can carve out their own policy, shape ballots and impose their own private agenda, with constant publications and disregard for party principles and policy, has obviously consciously decided to put themselves out of the electoral fray” they say. the same sources.

ND: Obscenities are not covered with leaks

The ND also issued a statement, arguing:

“The obscenities, threats and injunctions against journalists, judges and government officials by Mr. Polakis cannot be covered with leaks from SYRIZA about expulsion from the ballots. In any democratic party it would be self-evident to delete him and that is what we demand that Mr. Tsipras, who until today covered for him, do. We also consider the expulsion from the ballots of the unanimously convicted Nikos Pappa to be self-evident.”

PASOK: Targeting and threats have nothing to do with the Republic

PASOK also issued a statement:

“The personal targeting and threats of subpoenas of journalists and judges by Mr. Tsipras’ fellow banker and fellow milkman, Pavlos Polakis, have nothing to do with either the Republic or the rule of law.

They come in the wake of statements by other SYRIZA leaders about how the next time will be “either with good or with evil”, but also with full coverage of the unanimously condemned by the Greek Justice, Nikos Pappa, whom the leadership of SYRIZA did not have the moral fortitude to exclude from the ballots.

Mr. Tsipras, who in his last interview appeared repentant for the manipulation of the institutions that was consciously attempted during his administration, no matter how much he tries to throw ashes in the eyes that he will cut the umbilical cord with Mr. Polakis, he is not convincing anyone .

In any European party that respects the rule of law, persons who have either been convicted by the Court or are delirious against institutions and human rights, would already be out of the party.

Once again, the leadership group of SYRIZA proves to be not just a sponsor but a great benefactor of the New Democracy.

The country needs a truly alternative progressive power proposal to close the cycle of Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ painful governance for the public interest.”

ΠΑΡΑ25: The cancellation of Polakis shows the co-government of the three

The announcement of MeRA25:

DELETING POLAK “SHOWS” UNDERGROUND AGREEMENT ND – SYRIZA – PASOK FOR CO-GOVERNMENT

The case of Polaki, who defended what Mr. Tsipras defended 2-3 years ago for state-owned PPC and nationalization of banks, proves in the most solemn way that Blinken’s visit linked to co-ownership and the statements of Mrs. Bakoyannis lead mathematically to the three-party government which the president of the Hellenic Solution, Kyriakos Velopoulos, pointed out for so long.

Mr. Tsipras, complying with Blinken’s instructions, did what Mr. Mitsotakis would have done.

ESIEA announcement

“The targeting of journalists, judicial officers and officials by SYRIZA MP – PS Pavlos Polakis through his post on SOCIAL MEDIA” is characterized by the ESIEA Board of Directors as “unacceptable and unimaginable”, as it states in a statement.

The Board of Directors of ESIEA condemns the attitude of Mr. Polakis, noting that “for the umpteenth time he chooses the strategy of tension by poisoning the public discourse with arrogance and threats”.
