The European prosecutor is doing everything in her power to not only hurt the Mitsotakis government, but also to target the Greek Justice.

The interventions of the European Public Prosecutor, which often become one mouth and one voice with the populist oppositionists, who smear the country, nullifying any progress, in order to hurt K. Mitsotakis and his government. A political game, in which Laura Covesi is possibly building her own next day in politics at the same time…

The “adept” prosecutor, in an escalating operation of comments and negative remarks to the Greek state seems to ignore, disregard or even… disdain the fact that Greece is an autonomous EU member state with national legislation – jurisprudence, status and autonomy. And obviously she is not an employee and subordinate of any ex officio untainted and impeccable Authority and even more obviously… the disorderly and untidy pupil of the head of that Authority.

An illustrative example is her letter to Commission in which she expressed concerns about changes and amendments to the Greek criminal code that she argues hinder the work of European prosecutors and protect political figures.

It also seeks the activation of European Regulation 2020/2092, which provides for sanctions against member states for breaches of the rule of law and has established a conditionality regime to protect the EU budget, such as suspending funding. To date, the penalties have been applied in a single case, in Hungary, in the wake of Viktor Orbán’s interventions in the judiciary, where a total of around €32 billion of EU funds were frozen.

Coincidence or… demonic coincidence? How many times have the parties of the so-called progressive opposition, as part of their inflammatory and toxic rhetoric, not associated or identified Orban with Mitsotakis? And how many times has the… opposition-friendly media not put forward this linkage from published cartoons to targeted, inflammatory political comments?

The game of cat and mouse…

Laura Covesi seems to be playing a political game, adopting the tactic of cat and mouse – and backfiring. That’s why in her letter to the Commission she states her ignorance and lack of interest in the government’s legislative initiatives, which – she claims – are raising obstacles and creating problems in her work. It even attached two letters it had recently sent to George Florides, expressing its views on specific provisions of Greek legislation.

However, as sources at the Ministry of Justice point out, on 23 April there was substantial communication and exchange of views between the Greek government and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office on the changes under consideration. Covessi herself had said: “I understood that they want to do something to speed up the process. I really welcome it. And I agree that we need to do something.”

So, what was the surprise and supposedly artificially covert practice of the relevant ministry and government, a possibility that has been flagged by opposition parties, peppered with the… Covessi’s hagiography Is this also part of a single tactic and practice of political circles – MME and domestic interlocking? Probably they find a sponsor in the… tough, rigid and adamant prosecutor of Europe to support and maintain their electoral-political narrative until the polls. And when and where necessary they add points to her boot, elevating her to… nemesis.

Kovesi puts the “amendment” Florides to the Criminal Procedure Code in her crosshairs and links it to MPs who are being considered for prosecution. The toxic opposition… is lining up the prosecutor in its armies in a front role, aiming for a total political strangulation of the government and the country itself. Either on a moral level, by insulting her authority and credibility while the matter remains at the level of a threat, or with economic consequences should the threat become enforceable. This is yet another point where the paths of Covesi and the opposition, the opposition that has often gone all the way to Brussels and Strasbourg to slander and discredit the country, cross.

The European Parliament resists

Covessi opens a new… institutional front with the refusal of the Supreme Judicial Council to fully recognise the decision of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office of 12 November 2025, which renewed for five years the mandate of three European Public Prosecutors.

It is clear that it is unlikely to keep the confrontation only within a technical framework, as the European institutions are being asked to decide whether and how to react. And don’t be too quick to prejudge… The European Parliament just a few days ago rejected a request to lift the immunity of an MEP from the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, implicitly hinting at a flawed and politically motivated investigation by Covesi.

This is the case of the waiver of the immunity of EPP MEP Angelica Nibbler (CSU), highlighted in a post by Adonis Georgiades, who said: “And yet the European Parliament said no to Ms. Covessi”, wondering what would have happened “if we had done it”
