“A Nazi-style criminal organization cannot be a candidate in the elections to re-enter the Greek parliament,” emphasized Minister of Citizen Protection, Takis Theodorikakos.

The police will continue to assist the investigation in any way they are asked and I believe yes, it is my belief that we will get to the end to find out everything about this case, said Mr. Theodorikakos in an interview on SKAI radio.

Speaking to Dimitris Oikonomou and Aki Pavlopoulos, he called it regrettable that some parties did not join the legislative initiative of the ND and Kyriakos Mitsotakis to block the electoral plans of the fascist formation, stressing: “All I can understand is that some are fishing in dirty waters of the far-right criminal organization in order to find some votes at the ballot box on May 21” and adding that the position of New Democracy is a principled position, on the contrary, what SYRIZA and Mr. Varoufakis’ party has done is not a principled position.

At the same time, Mr. Theodorikakos reminded that the ND belongs to all the initiatives to eliminate the fascist formation from the political scene of Greece: “With Antonis Samaras as president, they were taken to Justice. The trial was completed during the prime ministership of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and these people were sentenced with very heavy sentences by the independent Greek judiciary and then New Democracy took the legislative initiative to put an end to an organization and a structure that has the characteristics of a criminal organization ».

Regarding the developments in the murder case of journalist Giorgos Karaivaz, he emphasized that the Police, with a great systematic and methodical work, has unraveled the tangle of responsibilities.

The full investigation of the case belongs to the prosecuting and judicial authorities and EL.AS will continue to assist in the investigation in any way requested in order to fully clarify the case, said the Minister noting that in 2022 the fewest homicides have been recorded in the last 15 years and the percentage of solutions reached 90%.

Regarding the incident with the four injured members of the DI.AS team, Mr. Takis Theodorikakos expressed his support for the victims of the traffic accident, stressing: “We must all do everything we can within the next four years so that the state will definitively recognize that the police officers do the most dangerous work.”
