New Speaker Konstantopoulou: “Parliament cannot function as graveyard of political scandals”

In her inauguration speech, Zoi Konstanstopoulou vowed among others:

“The parliament can not function as laundry machine of scandals and graveyard of criminal proceedings.”

“To retract and investigate cases that have been forwarded to the Parliament but are covered with spiderwebs for months or years in the drawers without even taking into considerations, that’s not only an elementary and fundamental civic duty, but also a precondition for social cohesion.“
