In depositing its own proposal for Recommendation for Costas Karamanlis pre -trial The government is gearing up, with a senior government official pointing out that “we are not willing to accept political games from the opposition and we are not willing to allow the situation for political expediencies.”

The government majority acknowledges that the issue is extremely critical and require careful manipulations, as public opinion on the Tempe case and any incorrect move can destroy all the efforts that have been made in the last two months to overcome the crisis. Thus, the final decisions will be made after assessing the stance and moods of public opinion in the coming days at the given time. However, it is clear that the government does not want to find itself to chase the developments and to give the opposition to the initiative.

When, however, by the government they say they are not willing to allow political games, they refer to the choice to submit their own proposal for Mr. Karamanlis’ reference to a misdemeanor.

Opposition parties discount that their own proposals will concern criminalsomething they consider very heavy in the government.

The tones remain low, as the detailed reading of the tens of thousands of pages of case file is important and then the moves will be decided.

Another issue is the time the government will move, which has not been decided. That is, if she will be waiting to see the opposition proposals first to respond to them with her own proposal or whether she will move first to prevent the possibility of impressing movements by opposition parties.

“The exact offense and the wording proposal will be evaluated in the coming days,” a government official said.

It seems, however, that the government line is moving towards the misdemeanor of duty. The opposition is referring to persecutions that have been brought to officials for disruption of transport security, which is a felony.

The choice of one government proposal Referral to a misdemeanor shows a one -way street to avoid an intra -party crisis in the ND, which could not be manifested with a strong case.

The direction in which the government is oriented and the argument with which it is already building its narrative of a Karamanlis referral for a misdemeanor, was sketched by the government spokesman, Paul Marinakistalking to SKAI:

“What I will tell you has nothing to do with the case file that came, but is a general principle. To say that a minister, because I would say that it was late to go ahead or did not go ahead, did not hear any observations, some remarks and had in his days, we had a tragic outcome either on the asphalt or in a railway accident, Impact: Example first, 112. The Prosecutor’s Office in Mati came out and said in his speech, the prosecutor’s office, which he announced to the court, that if there was 112 that fateful day of 2018, it was very likely that many of the deceased would have been saved … In time, and from what was evident they could quickly, they should go to be tried for a causal link, causal relevance of deaths to the Eye … respectively. Patras Pyrgos … How many letters will have been sent to the Ministers of Infrastructure and Transport? Countless. How many calls from relatives who lost their children have become the road to end? Countless. Does it mean that the Ministers of Infrastructure and Transport should go to be tried for a felony because this road has not been completed in time? I think not now. ”

Based on this argument they will move to the government. And steadily refer to next steps depending on what happened in the case of Triantopoulos. Ie referral of the case directly to Judicial council. Politically for the government, this option is a one -way street, as if the preliminary investigation operates properly, the opposition parties will be given a field to maintain the matter for several months. Mr Karamanlis’ written statement, with which he said he was confident of his innocence and at the disposal of the authorities to shine the truth, is interpreted by government sources as an indication that he will move in a way proportional to Christos Triantopoulos and will also ask for the case.
