While Supreme Court launched procedures, following the adoption of an amendment providing for an increase in the number of judges, to decide the electoral fate Kasidiaris partythe political standoff continues, focusing on new revelations from the resigned vice-president of the Supreme Court Christos Tsanerikos.
As it became known yesterday, Mr. Tsanerikos mentioned that there was a second meeting, besides the meeting with Minister of State Giorgos Gerapetritis, on the subject – again – of the forthcoming decision of the Supreme Court regarding Kasidiaris’s party.
information Those who saw the light first reported that Mr. Tsanerikos met with a government agent, and some of them also talked about a high-ranking government agent. But others information reaching “K” regarding the meeting, they state that the vice-president of the Supreme Court did not meet with a politician or a government agent, but with a person outside politics, who, in the opinion of the supreme judge, conveyed to him the message of the government regarding the conduct of business with the Casidiaris party.
According to Mr. Tzanerikos, during this meeting he was asked if he would make a positive contribution to the cause of Kasidiaris, after his retirement he was given a position in the Independent body. However, Government sources told Kdenying the resigned vice-president that not the slightest proposal could be offered to him, since he was reduced a few months ago by the prime minister himself, when his name sounded as a candidate for the prosecutor of the Supreme Court (Then Isidoros Dogiakos was chosen).
According to the same sources, Mr. Tsanerikos was switched off at the time, because the Prime Minister’s office received information about his close ties with economic agents. However, after Mr. Tzanerikos was exposed, the official opposition party issued a statement asking the Prime Minister which government agent met with Mr. Tzanerikos and whether there was an offer for a position in independent body. In fact, the announcement implied that the prime minister himself might be the person who could have met with the vice-president of the Supreme Court, as the announcement states, among other things: “Does Mr. Mitsotakis know him personally? Or does she look at him in the mirror every morning?
The resigned judge was mentioned in the second meeting and possible exchange of views – Violent reaction from the Palace of Maximos.
The reaction of the government representative was in high tones Giannis Economou, who denied that the government agent had met with the Chief Justice, and about proposals to bring him into the Independent Body. “The government did not intervene,” Mr. Economou replied, “and could not, because we do not bargain for our opinion that criminals and knife-wielding should not be candidates in the elections.
Everyone is judged by his attitude towards these institutional political issues, by his words and actions. In response to a question about the offer of Mr. Tzanerico a position in the Independent Body, a government spokesman stressed: “Trade, barter, a deal did not take place and could not take place under any circumstances. It is beyond our values and our logic.” In any case, new revelations by the resigned Vice President of the Supreme Court are stoking a political confrontation and keeping the issue alive in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the electoral fate of the Casidiaris party.
However, in the Supreme Court, after the resignation of Tzanerikos, all procedures were initiated so that no later than May 5, a decision would be made both for the Kasidiaris party and for the participation in the upcoming elections of all political parties that will apply, since the deadline is May 1.
