“The photo of Mr. Tsipras should be included next to the word ‘audacity’ in the dictionary,” said government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis today, commenting on the speech of Alexis Tsipras today at the “Strengthening Democracy” conference held in the Parliament.

“Just a few days after the landmark decision of the Independent Greek Judiciary to remove the “hoods” from the false witnesses of the Novartis scheme, the former president of SYRIZA, instead of apologizing for the coordinated campaign to smear his political opponents, in his speech today at a meeting in the Parliament makes indirect suggestions to the Justice for ongoing cases under investigation.

At the same time, the former Prime Minister, who had two Ministers who were subsequently irrevocably condemned by the Court, instrumentalizing the dramatic shipwreck off Pylos in an impermissible manner, slanders his country and “issues findings” as an uninvited “judge” speaking of ” lack of authority”.

Mr. Tsipras, his current and former comrades, no one can dictate to the judiciary the way in which it will perform its duties and this is because there are no longer para-ministries of justice in Greece, as he cynically admitted was the case in your days former Minister of your Government Mr. Kontonis” concludes the government representative.
