The President of the Republic is not going to get involved in the dispute between the Legal and Audit Services, Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letibiotis said today.
Speaking to reporters at the Presidential Palace, and asked about the position of the President of the Republic regarding the conflict between the Legal Department and the Audit Service, given his position on reforms in relation to these institutions, the Spokesman said: "There is a serious conflict between leading independent institutions, which is being taken to the constitutionally competent body for consideration. This is now the stated decision of the requesting side.
Given the constitutional framework, which the institutions and the executive must respect, the President of the Republic will not get involved in this dispute.
There is a separation of powers, the judiciary will judge and its decision will be fully respected by the President of the Republic.
With regard to the President's announcements of 29 January on institutional reforms, the Government's will to implement institutional reforms aimed at modernising the state is evident. They are also part of the implementation of an ambitious governance programme and they are aimed at what the President of the Republic has said repeatedly, the modernisation of these institutions, so that these institutions, after decades of not having been modernised, become even more effective, and it is certainly not related either to persons or to the present circumstances, since the President of the Republic has referred to these institutional reforms on 29 January."
