Green light from the Areopagus to systemic Kanellopoulos
Those who intend him to be Kyriakos’ crutch in case of need are rubbing their hands…
Kasidiaris’ party was cut off. It is unknown whether he will support the former judge
Elias Kasidiaris’ “Hellenes” party is out of the electoral race, following the relevant decision of the Plenary of the competent section of the Supreme Court announced last night, which decided by a majority (9-1) not to allow its electoral descent, after and the relevant legislation of the Mitsotakis government a few weeks ago. On the contrary, the EAN party of the former vice-president of the Supreme Court – and from PASOK – Anastasios Kanellopoulos will normally participate in the upcoming elections, with the question hovering in the political life of the country being whether or not Elias Kasidiaris will provide him with support in the future .
It remains to be seen what position Mr. Kanellopoulos will take post-election, as he has not yet opened his papers on what he has in mind and what exactly he plans for the day after the election, especially in terms of partnerships. What is certain is that those who were looking for a convenient crutch for Mr. Mitsotakis are rubbing their hands. Will the PASOK ex-judge with contacts in the “blue” camp become a new Karatzaferis? It will seem…
It should be noted that his lawyer Ilias Kasidiaris stated that he is not going to support any other party and that he will decide on his further legal actions within today.
The president of the “Hellines” party stated that “tonight the democratic state was finally overthrown and half a million Greeks are deprived of the supreme right to vote for the party of their choice”, complaining that “the Hellenes National Party was illegally targeted, because it is the most honest and clean party of the domestic political scene” and noting that, in any case, he expected this “unprecedented deviation”, as he described it.
Immediately after the decision of the competent section of the Supreme Court was issued, the new government representative Akis Skertsos spoke in defense of the government, arguing that the New Democracy did its duty towards democracy and by shooting arrows at the Left, specifically at the side of Alexis Tsipras and Yanis Varoufakis.
“SYRIZA and MeRA25 walked the path of bilingualism and hypocrisy together, refraining from passing the crucial provisions, but also from submitting a relevant memorandum. With half-assed words and many “yes, but” they chose to fish in murky waters, but their aspirations are crystal clear for the citizens” argued Akis Skertsos, adding that at this moment of self-defense of democracy from its detractors, its political forces were absent Leftists who declare that they are against fascism.
Single memorandum
As for PASOK, he pointed out that he respects the decision of the Court of Justice, but noted that, if his own proposal for a single memorandum covering both the Greeks and the EAN party had been adopted, “perhaps our legal position for indications in relation to the ban on party membership IF it was much stronger.’ It should be noted that, in the end, the Supreme Court gave the green light for the participation of a total of 36 parties and coalitions of parties in the upcoming elections, while 14 parties were cut.
Among them, the “Patriotic Union” party of Prodromos Emfietzoglou and Konstantinos Bogdanos, as well as the “Patrida” of Aphrodite Latinopoulos, as well as the “Hellenic Christian Democrats – Christian Democratic Party of Greece” of Nikos Nikolopoulos, who denounces the electronic process of submitting the combinations , announcing a lawsuit against the company Singular Logic and an appeal to the Supreme Court.
