Additional government intervention for Kasidiari party will be presented and debated in Parliament on Monday (October 4), the Minister of the Interior said. Makis Voridis speaking in the ERT pre-election debate.

“The so-called anti-system vote is not a solution and does not lead to substantive proposals and requires a political response,” Mr Voridis emphasized in regards to the Kasidiaris party, while stating that “government intervention will occur and we will discuss this in detail in Parliament on Monday.” (10/4)”.

Earlier, a government spokesman emphasized that “there is a sufficient base, but if additional regulation is needed, we are here. We are on alert until Maundy Tuesday and Holy Wednesday, when parliament closes.”

The position of Makis Voridis in detail:

“There are two issues that, in my opinion, should not be confused. One of them is the policy of countering extremist voting. This is a political issue. This is a question that has to do with how effective the policies they put in place every time can be and how much they strengthen social cohesion. They form a consciousness that allows citizens to participate in a way that defends reality, parliamentary democracy, representative democracy.

The so-called, so to speak, anti-systemic voting is clearly not a solution in reality and does not provide substantive proposals. This is a kind of blind protest, and yes, it needs to be fought politically. There is something additional in the question of Kasidiaris. In addition, Kasidiaris is not just a man targeted by an anti-establishment vote, he is a convicted felon for leading a criminal organization to which specific serious criminal acts are attributed. So here these two things should be separated.

The intervention that the government has taken is one problem to discuss the first, which is a complex policy and complex actions, and we can talk a lot about it, and another problem is to discuss the second, which is that there cannot be a deep contradiction. , which says that on the one hand the criminal justice department condemns him as the leader of a criminal organization, and also comes another department of justice, A1 of the Supreme Court, which says that he is a political leader. Our intervention will be shown and I think we will discuss it extensively in Parliament on Monday.”
