At the forefront of their discussion meters for treatment of fan violencewhich is evolving in Plenary session, are the strictest provisions for offenses of violence on the occasion of sporting events, including the provision that makes it an offense to enter a sports facility during a sporting event, with masked facial features, in order to prevent someone detecting and recording it by image capture devices. At the heart of the debate is Article 68 of the bill, which adds to the Penal Code a provision which does not suspend the penalties imposed or converted in any way.
«It is being tightened the framework for Clubs. “We are tightening the nickname, ie the ban on the suspension and conversion of those deprived of their liberty sentences for criminal offenses of violence, on the occasion of sports events”, said the ND MP Dimitris Kouvelas who pointed out that ND restored the nickname, from Law 4809. “The framework of punishments becomes stricter and a special criminal offense is established for those who, during sports games, have their facial features covered, making it difficult to record, detect and identify them,” said Mr. Kouvelas. He also stressed that the bill implements a proposal he had formulated so that every amateur club, every PAE, every OEM to bear the burden of their responsibility.
“The stadium it must be a celebration and not a battlefield. So we, too, show a direct red card to the hooligans. “The need for the elements of sport, entertainment and fair play to prevail in sports, especially in football, is becoming more relevant than ever,” said ND MP Iason Fotila, stressing that the bill, with measures to combat fan violence. , aims to eliminate violence from the field of sports.
“We do not want the stadiums to be places of violence instead of places of mental and physical development,” said ND MP Noni Dounia, who advocated the institution of tougher penalties and the strict operating system of the Clubs to make them easier to control.
“We have a responsibility to create one safe sports environment“without blind violence, without terror, without fear for families and their children who go to see a sports match”, said the ND MP Athanasios Lioupis and stressed that the government is constantly serving the consolidation of professional and amateur sports, for prevention of violence. The MP was in favor of banning the suspension of sentences for those convicted of violent offenses, on the occasion of sporting events. Mr. Lioupis defended the provision for not covering the face because, as he said, the goal is to prevent criminal activity.
The SYRIZA MP Sia Anagnostopoulou He referred to the shocking presence of Alkis Kampanos’s mother who stated, 24 hours after the brutal murder of her son, “I have no hatred in me for those who did what they did. I feel sorry for these children and in the way of the mother, because they never knew love “. “This is where our discussion should start,” said Sia Anagnostopoulou, “if we want to see what is really happening. “Let’s see why we have phenomena of violence in adolescence and post-adolescence.” The MP referred to the Golden Dawn pockets in a school in Thessaloniki and pointed out that the problem of fan violence is a social, political, cultural and sports phenomenon. “But, instead of the government starting from the root of the problem, it brings a copy paste bill of the New Democracy concept” it hurts my head, I cut my head “”, said Sia Anagnostopoulou.
The MP of the Movement for Change George Kaminis accused the government of tackling the phenomenon of fan violence with piecemeal initiatives, without a plan. Referring to the return of the same name, the MP of the Movement for Change said that “this whole discussion is reminiscent of the abolition of university asylum, where the government declared that it would immediately solve the issue of lawlessness in universities, with the university police, which did not happen ».
The KKE MP Ioannis Delis He pointed out that all the previous years “suppressed” the repressive measures, but they did not yield the minimum. On the contrary, as Mr. Delis said, the action of groups that are reminiscent of the action of the raiding battalions is highlighted, because the laws that are passed do not touch the basis of the problem, that is, commercialization, entrepreneurship in sports.
“Teams have huge responsibilities. “They have the keys and they have to decide who has them in their shops”, said the parliamentary representative of Hellenic Solution Konstantinos Hitas who asked the “government to put the knife to the neck of the PAE, because only they can clean their shops”. Mr. Hitas said that “the toughening of the sentences is in the right direction” but he wondered: “But if it is winter and I go, who am not a hooligan, and I put on my hood, it rains and I put on my hood, this is a criminal offense ; I want to say, the problem in Greece is not the absence of laws but that the laws are not implemented “, said the parliamentary representative of the Hellenic Solution, noting that there is a framework for the control of those who enter the stadiums.
