The MEP candidate of SYRIZA – PS, Nikos Faradouris, was criticized for his statement that “it would be wishful thinking for the European prosecutor to bring down the government” which caused a “storm” of reactions, pointing out “I am aware of what I say and do in public life».
“I don’t feel “emptied”, I feel strengthened towards society” he answered when asked if he regretted or if he had been disturbed by the statements of his party officials.
«Sarkozy was handed a bracelet from the prosecution’s investigation“, he said and added: “Does it occur to you that Areios Pagos can make a mistake? That’s what we say, he might be wrong. European judges entangle and cooperate with national prosecutors. Both when investigating scandals and illuminating aspects that are obscured, they can lead to developments and resignations of the government».
He then pointed out that “of course the people decide” and repeated that it is “a good idea for the European prosecutor to resign from the government if it covers up scandals and crimes”.
Continuing, Mr. Farandouris, and asked to clarify his statement, emphasized that “the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is an institution that includes prosecutors from all states. If the investigation by either the European or the national prosecutor leads to revelations that lead to the delegitimization of any government, the popular verdict is the competent one”.
