The proposal of New Democracy is expected to be submitted today. for the pre -trial committee, based on the latest case file forwarded to Parliament. The original design, as well -informed sources reported, was to submit the proposal yesterday afternoon. ‘For technical reasons’as the same sources say, in order to ensure that the text of the proposal will be well and will not be challenged by justification, there was a slight delay. Yesterday, the government spokesman, Paul Marinakisanswering a question when informing political editors, he replied that “Within the next few days we will bring our own proposal, our parliamentary group”. A short time earlier, the vice -president of the government, Kostis Hatzidakishad stated to the SKAI that “ND’s proposal It will be filed for the pre -trial investigation without delay. The case file has been studied, we must move on to the next steps. The case of Triantopoulos, where we allowed the natural judge to be placed, shows the way. At the end of the journey, the average citizen will know that the natural judge has decided and that the government majority did not obstruct the investigation of any responsibilities. ”

Government majority proposal will only concern the former Minister of Transport Kostas Karamanlisas they consider that the case file forwarded to Parliament concerns only ministers and not deputy ministers. After all, they had criticized PASOK for this very reason when the opposition party included in its own proposal and six deputy ministers beyond the two ministers Kostas Karamanlis and Christos Spirtz. On the ND side, in relation to Mr Spirtzis, they say that the offense has been limited and any reference is made for purely communication reasons without the slightest substance, so they will not follow this practice.

As far as the content of the proposal for K. Karamanlis is concerned, it will concern misdemeanor, Probably a breach of duty. The prime minister himself was clear in this regard when he stated a few days ago in an interview he gave to SKAI that “We do not see a felony and we are not going to send someone for a felony since it is not in any way documented”. While adding that “At all times the Judicial Council, if it considers that for any reason he sees something different, always has the opportunity to return the proposal to the House. And we, in any case, will respect justice. ”

The government majority, in order to repel the expected criticisms that are expected to accept that it is degrading Mr Karamanlis’ responsibilities by proposing a misdemeanor and that it is thus seeking a cover -up once again, is in a hurry to declare that if the competent judicial authority, in this case by the Court of Justice, There is a reason to upgrade the category, the government will not prevent the investigation of justice.

As far as the timetable is concerned, the debate and vote in Parliament on the proposals – at least two, of the ND is expected. and PASOK, as it is not yet clear whether SYRIZA will be able to gather the necessary 30 signatures for his own proposal – to be defined by June 10. Subsequently, the preliminary investigation will be formed and the aim is to operate on the standards of the Triantopoulos case, to meet, once and for his request, Mr. Karamanlis to request a referral to the Judicial Council.
