Critical Meeting Today on Triantopoulos Investigation Request

Amidst fierce conflict between the government and opposition over the direct investigation request for potential criminal liabilities in the tragedy case, the Pre-Investigation Committee convenes today to deliberate. The ND majority supports the motion, with the next step being the drafting of a report within ten days concerning involvement in the Tempi case. This will then go to a secret vote in the Parliament plenary session, requiring 151 votes for approval before moving to the Judicial Council. The government is pushing back against accusations of cover-up attempts, particularly targeting PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis for shifting stances. Government officials argue that what critics oppose can be handled by the Judicial Council, emphasizing the independence of judges over political committees. The meeting of the Pre-Investigation Committee is set for 12:30 PM.
