Tassoulas: Polakis behaved like an occupier – Watch the Parliament session live

by

The sitting of the Parliament for the new Development Law started after yesterday’s interruption caused by the episode caused by Pavlos Polakis, as a result of which the sitting was interrupted.

At the beginning of today’s work, the Speaker of Parliament, Costas Tassoulas, stigmatized the behavior of Pavlos Polakis, saying that he behaved like an occupier.

In particular, he stated that he could not act as an occupier of the sacred step of the Parliament because he felt that he had been wronged.

Mr. Tassoulas described yesterday’s meeting as heartbreaking in terms of what the Greek people expect.

He stressed that the rules of procedure of the Parliament ensure that it does not turn into a body of shouters and that the final responsibility for conducting the debates lies with the presidium, which is cross-party.

Among others, Costas Tassoulas mentioned:

Yesterday’s parliamentary session was heartbreaking in the face of what the Greek people expect. Parliament is not any place where we take the floor to say what we want and do what we want. There is Constitutional Freedom. Nowhere does the Constitution give an unrestricted right to express an opinion, but the unrestricted has to do only with Freedom and not with the disorganized conduct of debates.

Because the discussions are conducted according to a regulation, this regulation protects us from becoming a body of shouting or a speakers’ Corner in a park in London. This regulation ensures the unimpeded exercise of the unrestricted freedom of the deputies, the final responsibility for holding the debates lies with the bureaucracy which is cross-party and there is a special article in the regulation which says that the deputies must comply with the bureau’s instructions.

There is a chance that Members will feel that the Bureau’s suggestions are unfair to them. How is this issue resolved, again the regulation provides that the issue is resolved either by continuing the dialogue and underlining a possibly secured decision to substantiate an incidental issue either by a motion of censure or to be put to the first conference of presidents.

What is not foreseen, are issues that are reduced to the regulation to be resolved in a self-judgment and activist way. Yesterday, the presidency removed the floor from MP Polakis. Everyone has the right to have an opinion on this, but the presidency has the final say and Mr. Polakis, instead of complying with the suggestion of the presidency and resorting to the means of parliamentary criticism, criticisms and objections to the decision is sold against him, sitting on the sanctuary this step by preventing the discussion from continuing.

Two issues: One is the removal of the speech by Mr. Polakis and the other is his behavior that practically removed the speech from the other 20 colleagues I was waiting to speak. The Parliament since the time of 1895 when the principle of the declared has been established has a final limit the final limit of the Parliament is the majority the final refuge of the Parliament is the majority we have a matter of your constitutionality decides the majority we have a matter of Maltese decides the majority decided by the majority we have a matter of disciplinary measures decided by the majority. We can overthrow the principle of the majority here in Parliament with acts of activism. The majority is changed by the Greek people and no one else. We here over the final refuge of resolving our various which is the principle of the majority to replace it with other methods. Because the other methods show anti-democratic intentions, tarnish the image of the parliament and distort it.

What would you like to do if an MP did not come down from the podium? To drag him to be dragged into the world? Parliament is this image is not done differently.

If the majority is not satisfied the one who will change any majority is not the representative of the people in here but represented by us when the time comes this refuge of the majority obviously may not like those who do not belong to the majority for this and it is applied successively but it does not happen when you have to like it and when you do not have it to express dissatisfaction with it.

When someone feels wronged he can express it. The parliamentary representative can speak. There are parliamentary means of submitting accusations of reproach for the feeling or the belief that someone is being wronged, but the one who feels that he has been wronged cannot act as an occupier of the Holy Step of the Parliament.

Managing the image of a parliament hanging by the good mood of a colleague who may have thought he was wronged but prevented his other colleagues from speaking out by taking the floor was the worst of the last two and a half years I have chaired this step please

Well, you have every right to consider the actions of the presidency as wrong, you have every right to be offended, to judge them, to criticize them, but you have no right to go beyond the limits and think that with self-judgment methods with methods that distort the image of parliament this which you consider to be a mistake made by the Bureau

Yesterday’s meeting was interrupted and will continue today. It will continue from the point where it was interrupted. Mr. Polakis will take the floor. and removes the Greek people from the parliament I understand that there are citizens who asked us to be much stricter than Mr. Polakis there may be citizens who believe that we are wronging him here it is that First the Members comply with the Bureau’s suggestions that if they feel they have been wronged there are institutional and non-activist ways to express it and the final judge ultimately our final decisions is to resort to the majority

Please, from now on and especially today, do not understand your speech. In order to preserve the last limits, the parliament, which is the regulation, the limit of the majority and the respect for the inter-party presidency.
