If the police were monitoring Christos Pappas in any way, it would be doubly illegal, says the Ministry of Citizen Protection, responding to criticism from SYRIZA that the Golden Dawn executive is still missing.
In an 11-point statement, the ministry responded to a statement by Christos Spirtzis, SYRIZA’s head of Citizen Protection, who, among other things, said that the fact that Pappas has not been arrested “ridicules institutions, democracy and the Justice”. At the same time, he invited Michalis Chrysochoidis and Kyriakos Mitsotakis to assume their responsibilities.
In its response, the Ministry of Civil Protection states that Christos Pappas appeared at a police station on October 1, as he had to do every 1 of the month due to the restrictive conditions that changed in March 2015.
“If the police were monitoring Christos Pappas in any way, it would be doubly illegal. Towards a citizen and against a defendant. In today’s Greece and government, surveillance is ordered by a prosecutor.” Anyone who has the opposite opinion should! express it clearly! “, affirms the ministry.
The announcement notes that SYRIZA a few days ago blamed the ministry for not arresting MEP Lagos. “In other words, SYRIZA calls on the ministry and the police to become illegal. Both Lagos and Pappas. Not to enforce legality, but to interpret the rule of law à la carte.” Our troubled post-war political history should be one lesson for these dangerous thoughts, “said the Ministry of Civil Protection.
“For fugitive Christos Pappas, the police are doing the right thing.” They have done it many times and successfully, “the ad concludes.
Christos Pappas remains free, despite the court decision that sentenced him to 13 years without suspension, for running the Golden Dawn criminal organization.
The rest of the Golden Dawn executives, who were sentenced to suspended sentences, are in the hands of the police and are expected to go to prison today. The exceptions are Giannis Lagos – within one day the extract of the decision that affects him will be sent to the European Parliament – and Christos Pappas, who remains missing despite investigations.
The announcement of the Ministry of Civil Protection in detail:
“On the arrest of Ch. Pappas, a convicted ATHEX leader. And on another misstatement by SYRIZA on the matter:
1. By decision of the Appeals Chamber of 8/27/2015, restrictive conditions that applied to the person released in March 2015 came into force Ch. Pappas: He was obliged to appear only once a month at the Police Department (the 1st of each month), instead of three that were in force before and he was no longer obliged to spend the night at his home in Papagou.
2. That is, the terms became much more lenient. They were decided by the Appeals Chamber, the N. Democracia did not rule, the Police were obliged to implement them.
3. Ch. Pappas comfortably applied the new terms. He last appeared in the Department on October 1, 2020, as he should have. And the Police recorded and reported it, as it should.
4. Has not appeared since. He had no such obligation, given the mentioned parliament.
5. If the police were monitoring H. Pappas in any way, it would be doubly illegal. Towards a citizen and against an accused.
6. In today’s Greece and government, surveillance is ordered by a prosecutor. Anyone who has the opposite opinion must express it clearly!
7. A few days ago, SYRIZA blamed the Ministry of Citizen Protection for not arresting MEP Lagos. Now he complains because we do not look at the accused citizen Pappas.
8. In other words, SYRIZA asks the Ministry and the Police to ban. Both Lagos and Pappas. Not to enforce legality, but to interpret the rule of law à la carte. Our troubled postwar political history should be a lesson to these dangerous thoughts.
9. In the name of the unanimous popular condemnation of ATHEX. SYRIZA prevails, it will make sentiment illegal. It cannot be more Stalinist, more totalitarian, more populist, more dangerous!
10. Let it be absolutely clear to all sorts of nostalgia: In today’s Greece and government, purpose does not sanctify the means!
11. For fugitive Ch. Pappas, the Police are doing the right thing. He has done it many times and with success ”.
