Distinguished constitutionalists have been concerned in the previous period of what happened in Parliament in relation to the procedures followed against former Minister Christos Triantopoulos. To what extent, that is, the government’s initiative to bypass the work of the Tempi pre -trial committee is in line with the Constitution. The House has been adopted by a mixed system for the criminal responsibility of ministers in which parliament and regular justice assume cases in a different phase. Kyriakos Mitsotakis has pledged that Article 86 will change in the forthcoming constitutional review. It has also been given a signal by society that it wants faster and more transparent awarding of justice.

They have not yet ended up with more model it would be fairer to qualify. As a solution, which will not negate the role of the House, a Joint Committee that will be made up of both judges and MPs. Substituting the current form of the pre -trial committee in which the ruling party participates by a majority with the opposition. Unless it is decided that parliament should no longer have any substantial involvement, as the outcome is always the disagreement of the parties with the separate findings that submit to the end. The Judicial Council, that is to say, to consider whether the person for which the case file has been formed to be referred to the Special court. The rationale that all stages of the procedure should be undertaken from the outset is a large part of prestigious legal. In anticipation, some argue that this may result in constant criminal proceedings against ministers even for insignificant occasions.

Depending on the changes it will be adapted and The relevant House Regulation. There is currently a collection of 30 signatures to submit a request for a pre -trial committee. Then the plenary session takes the plenary for both the establishment of the Commission and for the prosecution of a majority of 151 MPs.

Experienced constitutionalists are constantly writing for how the parliament has been used on the altar of political expediency. However, it is a fact that with the current solution given for the Christos Triantopoulosthe Judicial Council will have an almost empty dossier in front of him. That is to say, the competent investigator has to launch a investigation from the Authority, but it can also provide new evidence to cause other developments. No one disputes that the Constitution acquires substance through the application of its provisions. Based on the needs of society and the sense of law should ‘Rejuvenated’ so that citizens feel confident.
