The discussed topic on the first parliament session was the bill of the Ministry of Justice. It was decided that there will be severe punishments for the ones protesting with “hoods” and that measures should be taken about solving the problem with illegal emigration.

“The measures, which will be taken will be applied after making a research…We are completely indifferent about the ones talking about violating human rights, because we are trying to solve the problems of the whole society,” said the minister of justice Nikos Dendias in an answer to the critiques of the opposition about the severe punishments for protesters with “hoods.”

The minister announced that six measures will be applied for establishing the security and local order in the country: regulations about wearing hoods, change in the law for illegal immigrants, new measures about consumers using pre-paid cards, disclosing personal data to telecommunication companies, when it comes to severe crimes – creating a DNA bank and putting cameras, for which a law will be voted for soon.

When it comes to the illegal emigrants, the opposition warned that the way the law is formulated it will go after “dangerous immigrants—in other words - immigrants will be able to be deported at any given moment even if they are legal.” This is why the opposition is voting against this law.

Meanwhile, policemen from the Police Services Union of Attica were protesting in front of the central police station while the parliament was discussing what measures to take, so that terrorist actions can be limited. Their reasons for protesting are the more and more frequent violent acts against their colleagues, which culminated with the murder of Antonios-Nektarios Savas in Patisia neighborhood. The 40 year old policeman was serving in the antiterrorist department and was on duty when he was shot with more than 20 bullets. The slogans of the policemen were “no to violence against policemen!” and “violence against policemen is violence against the whole Greek society.”
