His intention to vote in favour of lifting the immunity of his fellow MPs was stated by Dmitris Markopoulos<\/b>. <\/p>\n
While on the resignation of Makarios Lazaridis<\/b> from the post of deputy minister of rural development<\/b>, the parliamentary representative of New Democracy<\/b>, Dimitris Markopoulos estimated that this was caused by the fact that he was the rapporteur of the New Democracy in the OPEKEPE<\/b> case. <\/p>\n
On the issue of lifting the immunity of MPs after the transmission of a new file on OPEKEPE <\/b>from the European Public Prosecutor’s Office<\/b>, Dimitris Markopoulos said (ERTnews), “I think that since my colleagues have requested the lifting of their immunities to go to justice as quickly as possible and complete the course of their cases, they should find their justice.” “Ibelieve in the right of my colleagues and I believe that voting for the lifting of the immunity of all these colleagues is a positive vote for the advancement of their cases<\/b>,” he stressed. “Therefore, if you want my opinion, I will vote for them because it is also the request of my colleagues,” he said.<\/p>\n
Dimitris Markopoulos recalled that “in addition to the request of the MPs, the Prime Minister from the floor of the Parliament announced an intervention to speed up the procedures in relation to political figures regarding justice<\/b>.” <\/p>\n
“So I think that I think that voting in favour of lifting their immunities is in the positive direction, because it will give them the opportunity exactly to go through the process. Ithink that most of them will be vindicated and they will be able to go to their fellow citizens and say we are now okay with court decisions<\/b>,” Dimitris Markopoulos stressed. <\/p>\n
“Therefore, this corridor will be built. Besides, the Prime Minister also said so, so that they can quickly go to the judiciary to see their cases and be given their due in society, with their heads held high on the road to the elections,” Dimitris Markopoulos stressed. <\/p>\n
Specifically on the case of Makarios Lazaridis, Dimitris Markopoulos defended him saying: “Macarios Lazaridis went through a phase of very great anthropophagy against him because he was the rapporteur of the Southwest in the OPEKEPE case<\/b>.” <\/p>\n
“Makarios and I are colleagues in both journalism and politics. We are the same generation of MPs. We were elected in 2019. We have been colleagues for seven years together<\/b>,” he added. “Makarios Lazaridis has his own way of doing things. I can’t get into the mind and position of my colleague. Each of us operates differently,” Dimitris Markopoulos noted.<\/p>\n
Referring to the issue that has arisen with the degree of Makarios Lazaridis, Dimitris Markopoulos acknowledged that “a political situation and a political mobility has been created around this issue<\/b>“. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
