The Minister of the Interior, Makis Voridis, announced that he will testify tonight (Friday) on the local government bill, on issues of billboards and municipal revenues from them, on the extension of the preparation of municipal budgets, issues of strengthening the Decentralized Administrations (lawyers with a paid mandate) and provisions for extensions deadlines on a range of issues.

In addition, there will be intervention for extensions to IDOMs for those who have entered into operational contracts with Organizations, as well as a change in the selection of the presidents of small and very small Communities, in the context that this was requested during the parliamentary processing of the bill, as well as a provision concerning the compensations for the so-called exceptional days of the workers in the Decentralized Administrations making the process easier.

In his presentation at noon in the Parliament, the Minister of the Interior underlined that “it is unthinkable the existence of a convicted criminal organization leader who impersonates the political leader, the political leader, the political spokesperson, the party leader, the apparent or hidden party leader”.

“We say that this is not conceivable and we have made a specific legislation. And we have reached a certain framework which we have reached after a lot of thought after a lot of pain after a lot of analysis of a series of data,” he noted.

Obviously in constitutional debates everyone has their opinions, we have talked extensively during the regulation. What we want to do now is to strengthen the judicial crisis, to shield it so that this judicial crisis has no room for doubt wherever it ends. We do not prejudge, nor do we know what Areios Pagos will say, nor have we spoken to anyone, nor anything related. Just what do we want? We want it to be strong. There should be no room for doubt. That is why and in this direction, the strengthening of the judicial crisis, will be the manifestation of our complementary intervention in the order that has been established. This provision, I imagine that within today will be deposited, so there will be time” he added according to ERT.
