Former Undersecretary Christos Triantopoulos calls on his reference directly to the Judicial Council. Specifically, the New Democracy MP, following the first meeting of the Special Parliamentary Committee to conduct a preliminary examination on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, submitted a letter to President Panagis Kappatos, with whom he put his desire to proceed with the Council to the Commission to the Commission.

Government officials commented that Mr Christos Triantopoulos’s decision to submit a request to the pre -trial committee to be judged directly by the natural judge, is in line with the demand of society and relatives of the victims of the Tempe tragedy for justice.

The same executives emphasized that this move by the former deputy minister, as a sign of political bravery and strangulation, so that there would be no shadow of the supposed parliamentary “concealment” and to fall apart from justice, creates new facts about the investigation. “For the first time, a former minister controlled for a case concerning the exercise of his duties calls for his direct judgment by the natural judge, believing that any finding issued by the pre -trial committee may be the subject of a strong confrontation and questioning because of its party origin.”

It is noted that during the recent debate on the proposal for no confidence in the House, the prime minister had stated that in the context of the Constitutional Review intended to propose the change in Article 86 on the responsibility of ministers, calling on the parties to agree, when they had even in the past.

Mr Triantopoulos’ request, who, as he says in his letter, has complete faith in his innocence but also blindly confidence in justice, will be examined and judged by the pre -trial committee, which is the only dominant body to make the decision.
If the former deputy minister’s request is approved, then the case will be referred to the five -member Judicial Council of the Special Court, consisting of senior judges and who will appoint a Areopagite member to carry out the investigative work, so that the Court of Appeal will be held on the basis of the Court of Justice.

Opposition parties, who have so far argued that the government has accepted the establishment of pre -trial investigation because it has the parliamentary majority, implying that there is a “concealment” will have to take a clear position against Triantopoulos’s request to address the natural judge, He had made a similar proposal and it remains to be seen how PASOK, which had proposed the establishment of the pre -trial committee, would be placed. ” And they concluded by saying, “After Mr Triantopoulos’s move, to ask for the judiciary to be judged by the righteousness, the arguments on allegedly party shield collapses, it is time for the opposition to be publicly and responsible, if her allegations of justice.”

The whole letter of Mr. Christos Triantopoulos

‘Honorable Mr President and Members of the Commission,

As you know, after the House debate in the House of Representatives, your committee was set up, which must consider the integrity and impartiality attributed to me, as defined by PASOK’s proposal, a proposal that voted for, at my own purpose, to the majority of the majority, so that the majority of the duty.

As I said from the beginning, I am absolutely innocent of what this proposal attributes to me, something that emerges from an elementary – but not cool – overview of PASOK’s proposal, and for that time, and I was the first to ask for the investigation of the case.

Unfortunately, it is obvious that we are spent on a period of extreme political polarization where, in my opinion, a tragic accident that shocked the Panhellenic has been toolted by the opposition, to postpone temporary political benefits.

Under these circumstances, I am afraid that any finding that your committee issues will be the subject of intense questioning and controversy, which will fatal me in the rest of my public and private life. And my integrity, in the eyes of my fellow citizens, is something that is not, for me at least, negotiable.

So, because you would not want your judgment, in my case, to be construed as possible in the political and party identity of your committee members, my desire is, as paradoxical, and if this can be first seen, judged by the Registrar and the Protestants, impartiality, but also increased knowledge and prestige.

From the first moment of my involvement in politics, I consider strong and follow it, that the attitude, course and choices of a politician must be an example of society and the homeland we want to have for our children and future generations.

I repeat that I have nothing to hide, nor to be scared. I have complete faith in my innocence and blind confidence in justice, which I wish to judge me directly, as I ask you to do so, making a decision. “
