Less than an hour the last, episodic, meeting of the special preliminary committee for the Costa Ah. Karamanliswho proposed the prosecution of the former Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and his referral to the Judicial Council.

The opposition has almost retired from the closing meeting, with PASOK MPs submitting a letter-apologies in which they point out that due to “unconstitutional” and “anti-defense methods” of the majority of the Commission, the conditions are not fulfilled in order to draw up reasoning. Indeed, they argue that the proposal of Kostas Ah. Karamanlis for referral directly to the Judicial Council without conducting the investigation is “unconstitutional and illegal”.

For a “biased attitude” he also denounced the majority by SYRIZA, arguing that he considers “hypocritical to draw up and submit a finding without completing the concentration of all the necessary documents and evidence of the case file and without allowing witnesses” examination “

The KKE MPs abstained from the meeting, while a victory and sailing of freedom voted against the majority finding.

The Commission’s findings will be submitted to the Speaker of the House in the afternoon, and on Tuesday, July 22, the debate will take place in plenary, which will be held in secret the final decision to refer Mr Karamanlis to the Judicial Council.
