With the apology of Rena Dourou, a former Attica Regional Governor, the apologies cycle in the 21 defendants in the case of the deadly fire in Mati.
“I don’t want to repeat what I said at first instance, I’m sure you know and have studied them. I confirm it all and I have not changed at least, “Rena Dourou said in court, but referring to the victims’ relatives, he added that” in terms of my sadness and apology I must always repeat it. “
The former regional governor then expressed her position on the issue of parliamentary immunity. “I never got bored, I never showed my discomfort, nor did I say that it was a political prosecution. I never said or considered suffering the whole process, because simply in front of the pain of the people who were affected, “Mrs Dourou said, and continued:” On the contrary, I believe that politicians, who either personally or as a service in which they are in charge, are involved in a case, should be involved in a case. I believe that parliamentary immunity must be constitutionally restricted on a few occasions. “
The accused former regional governor, who had been acquitted first, spoke about the appeal that brought her back to the dock, noting that she had been announced by two ministers. “I did not make a statement to judge the two ministers’ study. Again, I am not burning and thinking, that I will once again present the elements that will acquit me, ”he said.
Ms Dourou, who continues her apology, said that the air means and the Forestry Forests do not belong to the responsibilities of the Region. “I did not throw the planes, nor do I have the forests on my responsibilities,” he said, adding: “Absolutely designer in the action of the firefighting is the Fire Brigade. This fire may be more murderous for our country, but the Attica Region had helped other fires and we always know that if we want to help and have success, we act on the basis of our plan. For the Region, all responsibilities are exercised either at the request or upon recommendation of the Fire Brigade. “
Referring to the organized precautionary removal, Mrs Dourou, citing the institutional framework in force at the time, emphasized that the Fire Brigade is responsible for the suggestion.
