“The Minister of Justice, Giorgos Floridis, has lost all sense of proportion,” PASOK states in its announcement.
“He imagines that he has uncovered invisible conspiracies, while he himself, although the competent minister in charge, attempted to steer Justice by drawing conclusions in Parliament and on television channels, even before the judicial council had taken up the investigation.
His unreliability and profoundly anti-institutional stance were exposed after the referral of Triantopoulos over the cover-up with rubble, which today he is forced to admit did indeed happen and may have contributed to the loss of evidence.
It is now clear that as long as the case is pending before Justice, he cannot remain minister, having undermined its independence.
His immediate resignation or dismissal is a matter of transparency”.
