What government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis said about the responsibility of ministers regarding the Tempo case
For the tragedy of Tempe was called upon to answer the government representative Pavlos Marinakis speaking in the morning to SKAI and the show “Atairiastoi”, stressing that justice is investigating the case and is above all.
He then asked the following questions: “Is there anyone who is excluded, is there anyone who has been shown by the Justice, is there any indictment?” No is the answer. The reality is that no one is a priori innocent because they are a minister nor guilty because public opinion says so. Innocent, guilty, accused, they are determined by justice,” he characteristically said.
In response to the question of whether the prosecutor in Larissa will assign responsibility to Mr. Karamanlis, Mr. Marinakis said that he is not going to stand “in the way of Justice” adding that at the moment “vulgar manipulation by the opposition” is taking place.
Among other things, Mr. Marinakis launched his “arrows”. against the opposition, posing the questions why “SYRIZA didn’t change the law on ministerial responsibility” and “why don’t they draw up an indictment so they can accuse us of a cover-up?”, adding “they remembered all the dead and all the tragedies”.
At the same time he mentioned that Mr. Karamanlis took responsibility and resigned as minister. However, he noted that he will be scrutinized as a minister, whether he has parliamentary immunity or not.
“For Mr. Spirtzis, the amortization period applies, that is, for what we were accused of, that the ministers get “oil” because they have a special statute of limitations. It catches Spirtzis and the ministers who had spent the SYRIZA period” and added “Mr. Karamanlas from 2019 is not caught because the government of K. Mitsotakis changed article 89 of the Constitution and no special statute of limitations applies”.
