Tsoukalas: The gov't is making a u-turn because it realises it is deeply exposed

The government is making a u-turn because it realises it is deeply exposed, and it would be a shame if a championship were suspended due to a dispute between club officials," stated main opposition PASOK-Movement for Change spokesperson Kostas Tsoukalas in an interview with ANT1 TV on Wednesday. He was responding to the "clarification" made by Deputy Sports Minister Giannis Vroutsis saying that the owners of Olympiacos BC and Panathinaikos BC did not necessarily have to attend the meeting he has convened at the same time.
Asked to comment on the Court of Appeals’ decision finding 10 out of a total of 21 individuals guilty for the tragic outcome in the Mati wildfire, he noted that "judicial decisions are to be respected, but obviously just as judges pass judgment, they are also subject to judgment themselves. The Penal Code defines the offences, and cases go to court to be assessed." He added that the main issue is the delay in the administration of justice and that reforms are needed in the judiciary-reforms that PASOK has already highlighted, as he said, in the context of the upcoming constitutional revision. He further stated that the party will soon be presenting specific proposals on this matter.
