To prevent the risk of the Tempe case in the Central Political Stage for the next two months by the government by its decision, yesterday, Christos Triantopoulos In a letter to the Chairman of the House of Representatives to request the procedure of directly referring to the Justice. It is a maneuver that ensures that the pre -trial committee set up for the former Deputy Minister will complete its work with a single meeting tomorrow, in which the majority will satisfy Mr Triantopoulos’ request and will refer him to the plenary.

The government majority in this way will avoid political conflict within the committee’s work. He will also avoid responding to the opposition’s demands to call witnesses, who had rejected the Tempi Inquiry Committee, but this time there was government assurance that any request would be facilitated that helps to lift the suspicion for cover -up. The opposition had even spoken of a request by the Prime Minister himself to submit to the pre -trial investigation. In addition, with the completion of the pre -trial work, there is a brake on any thoughts in the opposition to upgrade the indictment for Mr Triantopoulos while the preliminary investigation would proceed with its work.

In addition, with the direct referral of the case to the Judicial Council there is no risk of feeding on the current basis with developments from the course of the committee’s work, with information on witness deposits, with leaks for evidence. A situation that would maintain in the spotlight firmly the case of Tempi And it would constantly revive discussions and complaints.

The government argues that in essence with Mr Triantopoulos’s move accelerating his referral to the Justice and denies the opposition that claimed to have the majority in the pre -trial or government faction would prevent such a development. What they are saying is that the opposition wanted by submitting a request for a preliminary investigation to be brought to justice by Mr Triantopoulos and that is what is happening. The opposition’s reaction is more than expected, as the aspirations of the two sides of the operation of the pre -trial are diametrically opposed. For the reasons why the government sought to quickly complete its cycle, the opposition wished to exhaust all its operating room in order to maintain a topic that found pressure on the government.

In the opposition’s reactions the government spokesman replied, Paul Marinakisstressing that “As we had pointed out from the first moment, they neither want truth nor justice, for the tragic accident of Tempi. A political life jacket, through an unprecedented attempt to tool a tragic accident and eventually sank themselves into their own lies. ”

For its part, the government is seeking coordinated moves to be released from a monotheistic agenda focused on Tempi and to acquire movement initiative. The prime minister will not pay a scheduled visit to the interior ministry today. He will depart in the afternoon for Brussels, in order to attend the EPP leaders tomorrow morning and then at the European Council Summit, where the Ukrainian and Middle East issues will be discussed, while presenting the White Paper for European Defense.
