Tsiaras: With the change made by SYRIZA, the Chrysaugites cannot be deprived of their political rights | POLITICS

The intention of the government to bring in a relatively short time and after a proposal by the monitoring commission of the Penal Code, a new regulation, which will solve the problem that has arisen with the sanction for deprivation of civil rights of the convicted of Golden Dawn for participating in a criminal organization, announced in Parliament Costas Tsiaras.

However, the Minister of Justice, to his chagrin, clarified to the House that even if the government changed the Penal Code immediately, there would still be a problem with the Golden Dawn case, as “the most favorable law would apply” and there would be a conflict with Article 51 of the Constitution, which refers to an “irrevocable judicial decision”.

“Although we consider that we are interfering, this intervention involves many articles of the Penal Code, it is not so simple,” he said.

The minister even confirmed his reports in plenary and in a conversation with journalists, since, as he pointed out, with the change in the Penal Code on SYRIZA, there is no way for the Chrysaugites to lose their political rights before there is a judicial decision. irrevocable. “This is clear,” he said, noting that changing the electoral legislation was not enough to overcome the problem.

“It is questionable how SYRIZA continues to support this argument. Even if we changed the PK, the more favorable law would still apply, and there is also Article 51 of the Constitution. Who are you kidding?” What are we talking about? ” Mr. Tsiaras from the ministerial seats, adding: “You are the ones who gave a window with the change of the Penal Code. You who, despite being accused by the opposition parties, did nothing and now hypocritically propose something that you know it can’t be done. The discussion is about impressions and not about essence. ”

It is noted, however, that immediately after the post of minister, the parliamentary representative of ND spoke, Giannis bougas who stressed that the government’s will is to solve the problem that has arisen.
