Questioning of justice 'a major political issue', Marinakis says

The direct questioning of justice by the leader of the main opposition "is a major political issue," the deputy minister to the prime minister and government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said in an interview with the website "Liberal" on Sunday.
"We are not the ones instrumentalising a tragic accident. We are not the ones who do not wait, as happens in all serious countries, for justice to issue its rulings and let it do its work, as happens in every serious case, such as the tragic accident at Tempi...I am referring chiefly to the main opposition, I am chiefly addressing PASOK, because it has many times found itself in the position of a party, such as New Democracy, that has been targeted by mud-slinging and toxicity in previous years," Marinakis said.
He also clarified that the operational actions in the field, which would be evaluated by justice, were a different issue to a "deliberate bulldozing" of the evidence to cover something up. "Society does not want a tragic accident to be politicised. Society wants justice. We all want justice, the relatives of the victims most of all," he added, while noting that the government had supplied all the tools for the investigation to proceed as quickly as possible.
Marinakis also replied to questions about the economy, noting that Greece had the highest rate in Europe for the reduction of unemployment among young people and women, as well as ranking first for the rate of reduction of debt as a proportion of GDP and for reducing taxes. "We have reduced 73 taxes, including 23 indirect taxes," he pointed out. He said the goal in the next two years was to reduce taxation rates further and at the greatest possible speed, providing that such tax cuts that indirectly increase income, especially for the middle class, are offset by extra revenues, while they must also benefit consumers.
Asked about the possibility of post-election cooperation with other parties, the spokesperson replied: "We do not believe in coalition governments...we believe in single-party governments. We believe in stable governments, those that the citizens select each time."
