The government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, responded to Stefanos Kasselakis for the video in which the president of SYRIZA refers to the Justice’s decision on the tragedy in Mati.
“Let him read the legal monstrosity that his party voted for in 2019” replies Pavlos Marinakis to Stefanos Kasselakis, who in the video refers “to the article with which the defendants for the deadly fire in Mati fell to the ground”, as characteristically says President of SYRIZA.
“Mr. Kasselakis lies knowingly and repeatedly. Maybe he needs to reduce the time he spends making videos that spread lies and start reading texts and regulations, starting with the legal monstrosity that his party voted in 2019, just before he left power,” he emphasizes in a statement – response Mr. Marinakis.
And he continues: “A Penal Code that, among other things, reduced the penalties for crimes such as the rape of minors, enabled the Court to impose a sentence of up to 15 years for a homicide, in addition to life imprisonment, and led to the mass release of convicted criminals.
After all, the former Minister of Justice of SYRIZA Stavros Kontonis has said everything about the specific Criminal Code.
So instead of bowing their heads and apologizing for what they voted for before leaving power, they come to instrumentalize another tragic case.”
“Addressing the citizens and not the professional peddlers of lies, having as our absolute duty not to leave the slightest leeway to attempts to mislead, we repeat the following:
Law 5090/2024 could not be taken into account by the judges in the decision on the Eye because its implementation began yesterday, May 1, 2024. In particular, Chapter H, article 138, paragraph 1 of Law 5090/2024 states that : “With the reservation of par. 2 and 3, the validity of this starts from 1.5.2024”.
With the SYRIZA Penal Code, a maximum total sentence of 5 years could be imposed for serial manslaughter. With Law 4855/2021 the maximum limit of total punishment was increased to 8 years and with Law 5090/2024 it became 10 years.
Arson of a forest through negligence that causes death or ecological destruction is characterized by the SYRIZA Penal Code as a minor misdemeanor, with a minimum penalty of only 10 days with a suspended sentence.
According to the Penal Code legislated by the Government of the New Republic, the above offense is a serious felony, with a minimum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a maximum of 20 years imprisonment, a fine of up to 200,000 euros and confiscation of the offender’s property.
Arson of a forest with intent to cause death, under the SYRIZA Criminal Code, was punishable by a prison sentence of up to 15 years, which in practice was much less. With the Criminal Code legislated by the Government of the Netherlands, the only penalty is life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after a substantial judgment by the Judicial Council at 18 years.
And because they remembered the suspension and commutation of the sentences, let’s emphasize that with the SYRIZA Criminal Code, the sentences for misdemeanors had a “symbolic character”, as they were usually suspended.
On the contrary, with the Criminal Code legislated by the Government of ND, the misdemeanor sentences are not “virtual” but real because their suspension as a rule has ceased to apply”, concludes the government representative.
