The Supreme Court's decision does not negate the politically controversial fact, DIKO said in a statement regarding today's decision of the Supreme Court on passports where it ruled unconstitutional the decision of the Parliament to control the Attorney General and the Assistant Attorney General in connection with the handling of the Nicolatos Commission's finding.
DIKO's statement:
"The main consideration of the Parliament, which in its decision of 22 April, called on the Attorney General and the Assistant Attorney General to exclude themselves from the process of evaluating the interim conclusion of the Investigative Committee on Naturalization and to immediately make the interim conclusion public, was the primacy of the public interest and the defence of transparency.
Today's decision of the Supreme Court in no way negates the politically obscure fact of a self-evident conflict of interest, namely that the President of the Republic should appoint as Attorney General a former minister of his and participate in a process of judging himself."
