LAST UPDATE: 13.30
The Speaker of the Parliament, Costas Tassoulas, referred the SYRIZA MP, Pavlos Polakis, to the Ethics Committee of the Parliament, “in order to explain what he said and did last night from the Plenary Session”, as he characteristically said.
The Ethics Committee will meet in the immediate future in order to decide on the possible disciplinary penalties that will be imposed on Mr. Polakis, for violating the rules of Parliament.
The SYRIZA MP went up to the Parliament again today to answer Adonis Georgiadis about Novartis and to continue his position that caused chaos yesterday.
“They talked about me, they took my floor,” said Pavlos Polakis. The SYRIZA MP from Chania claimed that he did not make any occupation, but waited for the Speaker of the Parliament to impose a rebuke on him and insisting on his reports for Novartis, he said that “the result will remain in history as the distortion of logic”.
“I, Mr. President, did not occupy the seat. Mr. Athanassiou abolished the parliamentary procedures yesterday and I understand from your position and that of Mr. Economos that you condemn this attitude,” he said characteristically.
Georgiadis: “When gentlemen of KINAL equate me with Polakis, you also wrong Evangelos Venizelos”
“Where is Mr. Androulakis for Novartis? When gentlemen of KINAL equate me with Polakis, you are also wronging Evangelos Venizelos,” said A. Georgiadis, taking the floor.
“I have nothing to fear from what Mr. Polakis says”, stressed Adonis Georgiadis, noting that the archiving act is given by the Justice only to the interested party because it contains sensitive personal data. “You did it to show your true ethos,” said Adonis Georgiadis, addressing Giannis Ragousis, describing the act of archiving an anthem during his ministerial term.
Mr. Georgiadis ended his speech with the phrase: “I have nothing else to discuss with Mr. Polakis. The only discussion with Mr. Polakis will take place in the lawsuit I am filing with him.”
The debate in the Plenary Session of the Parliament is evolving in a tense atmosphere in the aftermath of the show given yesterday by the SYRIZA MP, Pavlos Polakis, when he “took” the step, refusing to observe the regulation and to talk about the law under discussion of the Ministry of Development. .
The chairman of the meeting, Char. Athanassiou, was forced to interrupt the meeting, but even with the microphones turned off, the SYRIZA MP continued his speech. During the half-hour break he remained standing on the podium.
Tassoulas: “Would you like us to drag Mr. Polakis off the podium?”
The Speaker of Parliament, Costas Tassoulas, spoke about an “unpleasant and disgusting spectacle”, referring to yesterday’s show by Pavlos Polakis.
Mr Tassoulas called the picture “heartbreaking” and said “MPs must abide by the bureau’s instructions, even if they feel they are being wronged”. He characterized the reaction of P. Polakis as an activist act and said that the SYRIZA MP behaved like an occupier of the Parliament.
“You have every right to consider the decisions of the presidency as wrong, but you have no right to go beyond the limits and with methods of self-judgment and to correct what you think was wrong,” he stressed and wondered if the deputies would like to drag Mr. Polaki and drag the country.
Ragousis: The interruption of Polaki’s speech is unconstitutional and coup d’etat
“The elephant in this parliament is the unconstitutional, coup d’etat of the president to interrupt the speech of MP Pavlos Polakis” stressed the parliamentary representative of SYRIZA Giannis Ragousis, taking the floor first.
“Mr. Polakis did not interrupt the smooth conduct of the meeting,” said Mr. Ragousis and described the interruption of the MP’s speech as “subversive”.
“As long as the Right revives its hardest practices and perceptions, the people will not forget what the Right means and they will not forget the Novartis scandal either,” concluded Mr. Ragousis.
Tassoulas: “You will not make the Parliament hell”
Immediately after the speech, the Speaker of the Parliament said again: “Hell will not come with harsh phrases of the past. Neither the Parliament nor the country will become hell by force”.
And repeating words that Mr. Ragousis said such as “terrorism”, “violation of the Constitution” and “insult to the concept of parliamentarism” Mr. Tassoulas said: “Imagine saying the same. Will we go there? It is very easy to do “Defense is not the occupation. There is defense, not terrorist but democratic. You will not make Parliament a hell,” he repeated.
Government spokesman: It’s dangerous to flirt with such divisive logics
“You have called on terrorists to terrorize us, citing a phrase uttered 60 years ago. There have been four fascist gas attacks today. What I am saying is that today fascists, criminals, thugs have been gassed,” he said. “Our faction is the one that has paid a very heavy blood tax from terrorism, this faction rules. It is dangerous to flirt with such divisive logics, we will not go back to the squares, Greece is changing.”
SW to Androulaki: Equal distances mean identification with SYRIZA Polakism
The scene starring Pavlos Polakis, caused a political conflict, as New Democracy launched a fierce attack against KINAL / PASOK, with sharp references to the party president himself, Nikos Androulakis.
“In the face of an unprecedented incident like yesterday, no one can keep equal distances. You can not keep equal distances between Polakis and SYRIZA on the one hand and the rules of Democracy and Parliament on the other. Why equal distances in this case “They mean identification with the SYRIZA Polarization and this is detrimental to the Democracy. This should have been understood much better, especially by those who have experience in the European Parliament,” the N.D. and concludes:
“KINAL, in the face of a purely anti-institutional behavior, has chosen the role of ” expert neutral ”. The party micro-budget prevails over institutional responsibility.”
It is noted that regarding the episode with Pavlos Polakis, KINAL stated in a statement that together ND and SYRIZA “create and maintain a toxic climate” and refers to a “hooligan conflict between ND and SYRIZA” that leads to unprecedented situations and “turns the Parliament of the Greeks in the Parliament of a third world country “. In detail, it states:
“Tonight’s sad picture in the Greek parliament confirms that some people are consciously seeking the deepening degradation of institutions. The hooligan nature of a clash between ND and SYRIZA leads to unprecedented situations and turns the Greek Parliament into a third-party parliament. “A climate that strengthens the crisis of citizens’ trust in politics and degrades the quality of our democracy. These images and these attitudes are not worthy of the Greek people.”
