Chrysochoidis: ‘The virus is not transmitted outside – We will put cameras in MAT and ACTION’ – Politics

Michalis Chrysochoidis apologized for the arrest of the nine women activists in Syntagma Square on World Day Against Violence against Women, calling the arrests an “exaggeration”.

At the same time, he spoke of a “new doctrine” in ELAS, said that the virus is not transmitted outdoors and defended the ban on rallies.

Speaking to Real FM, he said about the activists:

“These ladies are right. I think it was an exaggeration that should not have been done, and I have to apologize for that. This exaggeration should not have been done,” said the Minister of Civil Protection.

“However, the fact that we did not write on the day of the Polytechnic was part of a policy of slight confrontation within the borders so that all parties deposited a wreath and held a small event. But when this was going to develop in a big way, then the State and the police reacted and did not tolerate it, “said Mr. Chrysochoidis, saying that” this ban had to be done, it was necessary. “

The Minister of Civil Protection clarified that the rallies cannot be held even on December 6, on the anniversary of the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos. “Decisions will be made at the central level, but my thinking is that there cannot be rallies and marches, like every year,” he said.

Regarding the use of cameras by the MAT and the other police forces, the Minister of Citizen Protection stated:

“The case is finished. All the legal and technical details have been settled. I think that in the next few days the MAT will go out to the companies with a chamber whose operation will be made known to those who are protesting, which from now on begins the recording”.

Other police teams, such as OPKE and DRASI, will also carry cameras.

Mr. Chrysochoidis pointed out that this material will go to a place where it will be stored with all the rules and safeguards for personal data.

“If it is necessary to use it for pre-trial purposes, it will obviously be used with the permission of the prosecutor,” he said.

“Other police teams, such as OPKE and DRASI, will carry cameras, of another type, on their bodies that will be used during their operations. I think this will contribute to the transparency of police operations and solve many problems,” he added. .

Likewise, Michalis Chrysochoidis said that in the coming days there will be more announcements of demonstrations and rallies and spoke of a change in corporate doctrine.

“There will be a new operational dogma, we will give in to the use of chemicals. There will be other more lenient things so that we can radically change all this operational dogma of the police that SYRIZA uses, which dumped 3 times more chemicals. in a year than we throw in a year ”, he pointed out.

Finally, Mr. Chrysochoidis referred to the cases of coronavirus in the Greek Police, saying that there are about 500.

“The police currently have around 500 cases. Few, I think, are counted on the fingers of one hand, they are hospitalized because they are young. Unfortunately, the whole problem comes from a friendly and familiar environment, not from the work environment.”

Regarding the crowded images of policemen in the center of Athens, many of whom were videotaped without masks, he said that “the people who were developed at the Polytechnic, they all wore masks, they were scattered from each other according to an instruction given and they were outside. “The virus is transmitted outside, in the atmosphere. The virus is transmitted indoors. Everything is done and very strict measures are taken and there are orders to the commanders of the services to observe the measures. “
