“Today’s post by Mr. Kasselakis is highly revealing for three separate reasons,” says government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis in a statement.

He explains how:

“First, about how hypocritically he perceives his role. As the leader of the Official Opposition party, he pretends to respect the independence of the Judiciary, as defined by our Constitution, but, as an “ordinary citizen” who spends his holidays in the streets of Mykonos, he can say something more.

Secondly, for being a genuine follower of the party of those irrevocably convicted by the Court of serious offences. Those who ruled by undermining the institutions and Justice.
Today in Greece, there are no “para-ministries of Justice” in Maximos, as during the SYRIZA government, according to what former Minister Stavros Kontonis had cynically admitted. Judges decide as they see fit, based on their independent role.

Thirdly, because it expresses, in the most representative way, the audacity that has always characterized SYRIZA. Instead of apologizing for the Criminal Code they voted for “night”, shortly before they left power and which appears to be applied in a number of court cases, they are also pointing fingers”
