SYRIZA press representative Alexis Haritsis
EUROKINISSI / GIANNIS PANAGOPOULOS
SYRIZA spokesman Alexis Haritsis is making a brutal intervention in the work of justice, commenting on Akis Skertsos’ inelegant intervention and demanding his expulsion.
“I respect and honor the discretion of each judge,” the deputy minister said in a statement to the prime minister, after reactions to its publication on social media. After expressing his regret that this publication has been misinterpreted, he reiterated his wish that “the parents of the unfortunate girl receive the moral justification that justice and the State owe them.” And the guilty deserve the punishment they deserve. “
The statement – Akis Skertsos response
“A post I made on my personal social media account caused asymmetric reactions, in my opinion, as an alleged interference in the work of justice.
I would like to clarify that I have expressed a completely personal opinion as a citizen and not as a member of the government, on how I perceive the operation of the rule of law, regardless of the pending case.
I respect and honor the discretion of each judge. I am sorry that my post has been misinterpreted. I reiterate my wish that the parents of the unfortunate girl receive the moral justification that justice and the State owe them. And the guilty deserve the punishment they deserve. “
Akis Skertsos, in a post on his personal Facebook page, claimed that the prosecutor’s speech at the Eleni Topaloudi murder trial was reminiscent of the “popular afternoon.”
Among other things, he accused her of “emotional identification” with the crime victim and emphasized that it creates “legal insecurity”.
Commenting on the publication of Akis Skertsos, Alexis Haritsis made the following statement:
“The Deputy Secretary to the Prime Minister, Mr. Skertsos, cannot understand his role.
His public stance on the ongoing Topaloudi trial, which shocks the nation, is obviously not “a citizen’s thinking on his personal page,” as he claims. This is a brutal intervention in the independence of Greek justice by the Prime Minister’s closest associate.
Mitsotakis must fire him immediately, so Skertsos can finally comment on the news on Facebook as a common citizen. “
