They left SYRIZA, New Left, Victory
It is noted that the SYRIZA MPs they left and they abstain by the Procedure for discussion of the memorandum. In a statement the party MP, George Gavrilos said: “The parliamentary majority of the ND violates the Constitution, the law on the responsibility of ministers and raises the risk of invalidity in the Triantopoulos case. It consciously and for political reasons to call witnesses. ”
In turn, George Papailiou said: “It is obvious that the majority promotes and completes the concealment business which is continuing and completed not through approach but so I want to. Today the president … did not allow to even preceded votingborder To examine the witnesses as required and provided for procedurally and for That is why we left From the discussion on the memorandum. “
After SYRIZA they left the reading of Mr. Chr. Triantopoulos and the new left and the victory.
New Left MP Dimitris Tzanakopoulos, leaving, denounced ND’s stance and the manipulations of the Commission President Panagis Kappatos, noting that these methods lead to Mr Triantopoulos.
Niki MP Tassos Economopoulos also left the meeting, complaining as he said “institutional diversion from the majority of ND”.
PASOK: The Triantopoulos Monastery is proof of cynicism and cowardice
PASOK sources are also criticized by saying that: “Today’s attitude of Mr Triantopoulos, who did not come to the pre -trial committee but sent a one -page memorandum with three paragraphs, claiming to be innocent, is an act of act. raw purpose and cousin. Legality is circumvented, institutions bypassed and arises a key issue. If the government majority believes that Mr Triantopoulos has no responsibility, as he himself claims, but still decides to prosecute him, then he is committed. He has to explain to what legal basis he sends to the Judicial Council, an innocent. “
And they point out the same sources: “The Constitution obliges the House to investigate the case, does not provide the Minister to decide on the stages of the process. Mr Triantopoulos’ resignation from his rights before the Commission cannot deprive the Commission of its responsibilities. On the contrary, the examination of critical new elements, such as Mr Triantopoulos’ email, makes it imperative to continue the process and to examine witnesses. That is why we have submitted a list of witnesses who must be summoned to the pre -trial committee. Infringement of institutional processes, the Government Strategy for Avoidance Avoidance and the concealment continues. ”
