The Minister of Justice, Giorgos Florides<\/b>, referred to “the behaviour of fringe parties”, commenting on PASOK’s attitude in public life and its rhetoric about “ganging up” on the government. <\/p>\n

“This attitude is bad for PASOK, not the government. The people PASOK is addressing do not want this toxic speech<\/b>. A government elected by the people cannot be called a gang and a criminal organization. These are attitudes of parties on the fringe. I am surprised that PASOK is going down this road,” he specifically told Action24.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of his meeting with the European Commissioner for the Rule of Law, Michael McGrath,<\/b> the Justice Minister noted in his remarks that “Greece has taken very important steps in strengthening the rule of law. Greece is among the 9 countries out of 27 that have the fewest recommendations. One of the key recommendations that came out in 2024 was when we passed the law for the plenary sessions of the supreme courts to vote on their leadership<\/b>.”<\/p>\n

I don’t think Tsipras thinks he can beat Mitsotakis<\/h3>\n

Commenting on statements by Alexis Tsipras, he said that “neither does he think he can beat Mitsotakis<\/b>“.<\/p>\n

The justice minister noted that “so far his reappearance has one fact: he wrote a book in which he blames all the people he worked with and blames them for the failures.<\/b> The question is: in a Greece that lives in a troubled region at the moment, where security issues come up, where income protection issues come up, what interest can a book in which a former prime minister rails against his former colleagues have for the present and the future? Now he’s saying I wasn’t happy with 17%, people are trying to figure out what he’s trying to say. I don’t think Tsipras thinks he can beat Mitsotakis but that’s part of the opposition’s competition<\/b>.”<\/p>\n

Naming those who operate on the internet<\/h3>\n

Jorgos Florides finally supported the proposal of Pavlos Marinakis<\/b> for the naming of those who are active on the internet. “I agree with naming those who are active on the internet, putting your name and your face, this is a proposal by Mr. Marinakis, we will see how it can be done because he wants a broader European framework. If they don’t want to put their details, they shouldn’t open accounts<\/b>,” he said, announcing legislative intervention on deepfakes of videos<\/b>. “We are looking at the law in Denmark to make it an offence to use a face to do other things,” he said.<\/p>\n
