On Tuesday, 18 March, the president of the “Tempi 28-2-2023” Association, Maria Karystianou, who lost her daughter Marti in the fatal railway accident in Tempi, will speak to the Commission asking for support to abolish the immunity of Members of Parliament. She hopes that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will be present.
She will have with her the 1,300,000 signatures collected through the online platform calling for the lifting of the immunity of those involved.
It is noted that the resolution states: “Greek citizens demand from the Parliament to start the procedures for the revision of the Constitution and the activation of the law on the responsibility of ministers, as well as the abolition of parliamentary immunity when criminal responsibility of politicians arises. Impunity of politicians is not in line with morality, nor with democracy, virtues of which we are proud!”
As she explained after presenting the matter to the European Parliament’s LIBE Committee on the Rule of Law, the case will also be presented to the European Commission.
“For us it is encouraging, because there is someone who seriously listens to us, we feel that we are speaking somewhere where the principles of democracy, of equality, everything that has now been abolished in our country still apply and that we will finally be able to push for justice to be done and to change the bad texts in general in Greece regarding the Constitution, whether the state can intervene in it and of course the issue of the manipulation of justice,” Ms. Karystianou.
Maria Karystianou’s post
Tempi 28-2-2023 Association back in the European Parliament.
On 18 March 2024,
We ask the European Parliament to support the report we filed on the government’s handling of the situation.
We speak accurately about the cover-up.
The crime of Tempe will not be covered up.
Together with us, over 1 300 000 Greeks are calling for the lifting of the political immunity behind which those responsible for this tragic event are covered.
