Statement by Andreas Loverdou to the Manifesto on the decision of the prosecutor of the Aristaio Pagos not to withdraw the wiretapping case from the file.
“The principle of separation of powers is directly violated. The confirmation by two Supreme Court prosecutors is clear and leaves no room for misinterpretation.
From the very first moment I had indicated that there was no question of spying and today this is fully confirmed. The second Zisis dividend, to which I had first publicly referred, is now institutionally reinforced by the Tzavella Act, giving a clear and well-founded answer.
From there, there is a line that cannot be crossed. The Justice is not a tool for political exploitation. Especially when members of the legislature judge decisions based solely on their political interest, they directly violate the principle of separation of powers. A parliamentarian is not entitled to separate judicial decisions based on his or her desire. Judges, moreover, for anyone with a modicum of institutional sensitivity – a member of the legislative function and anyone else – should neither be praised nor blamed. Selective acceptance of the judiciary is not an opinion, it is a direct affront to the rule of law.
