In his apology, in October 2019, he had stated that he had not yet realized why he was being accused.
He noted that “I have never participated in any institution. They never suggested it to me. I didn’t want it either. I spent most of my time in my hometown. I was and still in the city. I had no contact with Athens, except as a deputy ”.
In fact, he had referred to his independence from the Golden Dawn in 2017, claiming that it was done “purely for personal reasons and for reasons of political practice” as I judged they were stuck in an old party situation, that the Golden Dawn it worked like other parties. with a wooden speech, like the other parties in Parliament. “
Although in the past he had attributed the murder of Pavlos Fyssas to “provocations”, he did not speak of this charge. When asked about it, he replied that he was informed by the media “I was interested in knowing, I had contact with people who told me they did not know”, while for the rest of the incidents he stated that he was not even interested. it was outrageous, “while praising the voters of the Golden Dawn.” They were suffering, poor people. They had suffered the consequences of the memoranda and all the misery of our country. “
Lagos was the best thing that happened in the area “
The defendant also reiterated his position that Io. Lagos was “the best thing that has happened in the area.” Asked by President Maria Lepenioti about her controversial statement, Dim. Koukoutsis stated that the Piraeus region was a degraded area and “at that time their action, with the distribution of food, in certain neighborhoods was indisputable”.
President: What is mentioned in the recordings? The disputes? Can’t you explain some messages about the specific member that you said was the best?
Defendant: His action in those 6 months I thought was what it should be for a deputy who is interested in the world.
“Golden Dawn collapsed like a paper tower”
Dimitris Koukoutsis in 2013, after the Meligalas incidents, had stated on a local channel “this is the military structure and whoever likes it”, when the president pointed out: “It has no structure. It collapsed like a paper tower. Yes had the elementary organization, what happened would not have happened. There was no organization, completely disorganized. If you look back to the difficult 1980s as a member of ONED, we were charged with similar charges. I remember in the Court of Appeal From Nafplio we had ND attorneys for similar accusations. Nor do I believe the elemental organization existed in Golden Dawn. Everything was up in the air. Nor did it have any political structure.
When asked about his membership in Chrysi Avgi, he noted: “My main purpose…. We were living in an era of memoranda. My goal was to fight memos. I felt like Golden Dawn gave me the step to do it. Before I was in the SW since 1980. I was vice president of the Prefectural Committee. Then I was at ATHEX “.
The defendant denied knowing anything about the National Socialist ideology of Golden Dawn, saying: “Four months ago I lost my father who grew up in a kindergarten because he had lost his leg in a German mine, I need not say anything more. What National Socialism, you tell me, Mr. President. How much nobody’s ideology interested me ”.
