The attack outside the house of the president of the Federal Supreme Court the Union of Judges and Prosecutors and the plenary of presidents of the country’s bar associations condemn with their announcements.
Announcement from the association of judges and prosecutors
The Union of Judges and Prosecutors unequivocally condemns last night’s attack by unknown assailants with Molotov cocktails on the residence of the President of the Supreme Court, which resulted in the injury of a police guard. Criminal actions against judicial officials harm democratic functioning and aim to create a climate of fear and tension in the judicial system as a whole, without achieving their objective. Acts of violence do not distort the free will of judges to exercise their functions conscientiously.
Announcement of the Plenary Session of the Bar Associations
The Coordinating Committee of the Plenary Session of the Presidents of the Greek Bar Associations condemns in the most categorical terms the attack outside the house of the President of the Supreme Court, which, in fact, resulted in the injury of a police officer.
Violence, wherever it comes from, has no place in Democracy and the Rule of Law.
