With clear outbursts due to the political situation and how serious issues are covered with harsh criticism Justiceof the media that, in his opinion, exert pressure and suggestions on the judiciary, the prosecutor Supreme Court Isidoros Dogiakos.

Mr. Dogiakos, speaking about the actions and methods of the Belgian prosecution in the case Kylie -Pantseri, made a harsh accusation of trying to bring justice to issues favorable to the political situation, while talking about “publishers” trying to impose their point of view on the judiciary.

The Prosecutor of the Supreme Court spoke about the problematic relationship between part of the press and the judiciary, while describing the current law on the press as ineffective and critical of the attempts of the political space to use the actions of the judiciary in the context of the political situation.

The prosecutor of the Supreme Court concluded that for justice “the path that it must follow is unambiguous, guided by the provisions adopted and required by the Greek Parliament, that is, the provisions by which the political parties themselves vote.”

Significantly, among other things, he stated:

“In addition to problems in the relationship between the press and justice, it should not be overlooked that there are important differences in perception and mentality between justice and politics, which lead to institutional conflicts between them and sometimes cause unwarranted reactions from political parties and their leaders. However, everyone should not forget that the path that Justice must follow is unambiguous, always guided by the provisions that the Greek Parliament accepts and requires implementation, that is, the political parties themselves.

“These days we are following with particular interest and impression the actions of the competent Belgian judicial and police authorities in the case of the Greek MEP and Vice President of the European Parliament. The investigative actions of these bodies were described as lightning-fast, and this is true. However, according to reports in the Belgian and other European press, this case was not organized, developed or completed in a few days, but has been working on it since last year, specifically since July 2021, by the competent authorities methodically and with absolute secrecy, in fact, in cooperation with the special services five other European countries, as written.

There is no doubt that if we study these facts properly and coolly, we will certainly draw valuable and useful conclusions about the manner and method of foreign judicial bodies.

And I am not tempted to comment on the statements of the Belgian prosecutor who is in charge of the case, a country that is not accused of a lack of democracy. What did he say? “Without wiretapping, crime cannot be dealt with.” Therefore, any attempt to humiliate our country in this way, i.e. an easy comparison of the Greek judiciary with the Belgian judiciary under different procedural systems is, to say the least, unfair. Each country has its own judicial system and mechanisms.

Of course, the good intentions of all those who, from whatever position they serve Justice, fight like real workers for its good and make as much effort as they can humanly contribute to its improvement. And the efforts, and the struggle, and the mistakes of these people are normal, desirable and forgivable, because they act from the best of intentions and within their capabilities. So much they can do, so much they offer.

The behavior of some others, usually outside of justice, who are supposedly carved out for her own good, is not tolerated.

At every opportunity and with every ease, they slander her and slander her in every way and every way.

It is not possible for a part of the press, taking advantage of an essentially completely ineffective press law, to persecute and intimidate anyone in the performance of their duties who does not act in accordance with its wishes, its instructions, and even its prescriptions.

Some are unworthy of the once highly honorary title and status of editor of a newspaper or magazine. They keep in themselves and only in secret their financial basis, on the basis of which they became publishers. In practice, they undermine this status and vulgarize it by signing false and slanderous publications with vulgar content and vocabulary.

But perhaps an extensive tax audit of these few will reveal a lot of interesting things about their professional activities.

It is unacceptable for them to mock and discredit judicial and prosecutorial officials by comparing them with judges and prosecutors of foreign states with other procedural systems, in comparison with which, in their opinion, they are much inferior to foreigners.

But in order to have this moral right, they must first travel themselves to countries that imagine they have perfect judicial systems to test their strength there and compare themselves with their colleagues there. Then let them come and tell us the results.

Of course, in any other foreign country, the competent authorities would not allow them to insult and slander, as well as give instructions and pressure through forms instructing competent judges to carry out specific investigative actions and make decisions they like. Even to visit them in their offices, put pressure on them and threaten them. Surely they would return with the same ticket to where they started, because only in such a sick environment can they survive.

Everyone who recognizes himself in this environment should give us his opinion, although, most likely, he will behave dynamically and basically democratically with some slander at the expense of everyone who disagrees with him.

But apart from problems in the relationship between the press and justice, it should not be overlooked that there are important differences in perception and mentality between justice and politics, which lead to institutional conflicts between them and sometimes cause unwarranted reactions of political parties and their leaders. However, they should not forget that the path that justice must follow is unambiguous, always guided by the provisions that the Greek Parliament establishes and requires implementation, that is, the provisions that the political parties themselves vote on.
