“The organization and operational independence of judicial officials is a prerequisite for deepening the rule of law in our time but also a component element of democratic life in our country, especially given that in the recent past, there has unfortunately been raw intervention by political power in their work and behaviors that have damaged the prestige of justice,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday, according to ANA.
He called on them to ignore any threats and daily signal their independence through their rulings.
The prime minister also referred to the government’s plans to improve the infrastructure of the justice system, such as new buildings and digitalization, the foundation of a school for court employees as well as judges, as well as reforms in the organization of the justice system to give incentives for excellence.
