“I will make them not know where they will come from,” Giannis Lagos shouted to the journalist in front of the Court of Appeal yesterday. Eventually, he left the country himself and, indeed, Aron Aron.
Especially after the delirium and the rejection of his request for exclusion from the members of the court, Giannis Lagos decided to leave with his head down for Brussels.
After playing and losing solemnly, Lagos, immediately after the prosecutor’s proposal for the sentences of the Golden Dawn convicts, taking advantage of his immunity as an MEP, traveled relaxed to Brussels.
In fact, the reaction of the Egyptian fishermen’s ombudsman, Kostas Papadakis, was immediate upon learning of Giannis Lagos’ departure abroad.
“The hare became a hare,” he said characteristically.
Find a hiding place in Brussels.
It should be noted that Giannis Lagos one day before the court ruling with which Chrysi Avgi is considered a criminal organization and himself guilty of participation and management, wearing a parliamentary mantle, sent a letter to MEPs invoking the “rule of law” and human rights”. .
Giannis Lagos affirms, among other things, that “9 deputies were imprisoned in 2013 and 2014 without charges for preliminary conspiracy of the then corrupt government of Samaras. “I was among them,” he wrote, adding: “It is hypocritical to speak about the rule of law, as Greece, an EU member state, does not respect fundamental rights.”
Starting in 2015, when he was released, strict conditions were imposed on G. Lagos. The most important were the ban on leaving the country and his participation in public rallies, while he has also been forced to give the “present” to the police department in his area. Therefore, to travel to Brussels and Strasbourg, you must request the lifting of the restrictive condition to leave Greece.
What will happen to immunity?
The question is what will happen when the time comes to impose and execute the sentence that the court will decide, with the immunity that Lagos enjoys, as an MEP.
The European Parliament is not investigating the criminal records of MEPs. The elected representatives of the parties of each country have the right to participate in the European Parliament. However, unlike national parliaments, decisions on waiver of immunity are more easily taken in the European Parliament.
A request from the competent authorities is required, p. Eg from Greece to the EP Bureau, the President announces that the request has been received and forwards it to the competent committee that reviews the file and proposes its decision to the Plenary. All MEPs take the final decision by show of hands.
