This is essentially an attempt to impose a dictatorial measure not encountered even in the most authoritarian regimes in the world
Unthinkable is the antidemocratic slide of the government, which, through unprecedented unconstitutional machinations, plans to ban the political gatherings of Ilias Kasidiaris even in enclosed spaces.
This is essentially an attempt to impose a dictatorial measure not encountered even in the most authoritarian regimes in the world, while questions are raised as to how, in a democracy at least in name, the current legal framework can be amended to such a reactionary degree.
Political rights and constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and assembly are being trampled upon in the most brutal manner.
The concern of the government regarding the electoral influence of the nationalist politician among youth, working-class strata, and farmers who saw their expectations betrayed by systemic parties is now conspicuous.
According to a report by the newspaper «TA NEA», on November 7, the Ministry of Citizen Protection is examining a ban on gatherings of Ilias Kasidiaris even in private enclosed spaces, such as hotel halls.
The complete legal framework remains under review.
A major constitutional issue is raised
The case raises complex constitutional issues.
The Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis, had acknowledged on October 28 that, under the existing framework, the police could not ban a gathering in an enclosed space, citing a relevant ruling of a judicial authority.
On the other hand, the government cites the need to protect public order and prevent incidents, particularly following recent clashes in Thessaloniki, which, however, were not caused by the friends and supporters of the Greek politician.
Kasidiaris: The Mitsotakis regime is in panic, we are defeating them
Prompted by the planned ban on his political gatherings, Ilias Kasidiaris launched a fierce attack on the government.
He speaks of unconstitutional machinations, maintaining that the restrictions will bolster his political influence.
«The Mitsotakis regime is in panic over the rapid rise of my electoral influence», argued Ilias Kasidiaris.
He accused the government of preparing a new unconstitutional framework while comparing the situation to the Turkey of Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
«They are murdering Democracy to rescue their corrupt dictatorship», he pointedly stated, escalating his attack against the Prime Minister.
Concurrently, he appeared confident that the restrictions will not halt his political activity.
«Unlawful bans will multiply my political power to the maximum degree», he declared, adding that neither his multi-year imprisonment nor previous legislative interventions succeeded in stopping him.
«They fear us, they operate in a state of panic, they commit rushed and criminal mistakes, in the end we defeat them!», the patriotic politician concluded.
Σε πανικό το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη από την ραγδαία άνοδο της εκλογικής μου επιρροής. Σύμφωνα με 'ΤΑ ΝΕΑ' ετοιμάζουν νέο αντισυνταγματικό πλαίσιο απαγόρευσης των ομιλιών μου σε... κλειστούς χώρους! Ούτε στην Τουρκία του Ερντογάν δεν συμβαίνουν τέτοια αίσχη. Δολοφονούν την Δημοκρατία για να διασώσουν την διεφθαρμένη δικτατορία τους. Θα αποτύχουν παταγωδώς για πολλοστή φορά. Οι παράνομες απαγορεύσεις θα πολλαπλασιάσουν στο μέγιστο βαθμό την πολιτική μου ισχύ. Δεν με σταμάτησαν με 7 χρόνια στη φυλακή, ούτε με 5 αντισυνταγματικές τροπολογίες, δεν θα με σταματήσουν ούτε και τώρα! Μας φοβούνται, λειτουργούν σε καθεστώς πανικού, κάνουν βεβιασμένα και εγκληματικά λάθη, στο τέλος τους νικάμε!
