On his section, the lawyer of Elena Akrita Vassilis Sotiropoulos issues out that “they’re anticipated through the similar courtroom and two different selections on proceedings that have been introduced in opposition to different individuals who additionally gained corresponding characterizations invoking the similar objectionable protection justification.

I due to this fact moderately be expecting that for the identification of the criminal reason why, the Courtroom will deal with the pending instances accordingly, with out after all prejudging just about anything, in view of the independence of each and every judicial composition”.

What Vassilis Sotiropoulos says intimately:

“With resolution 3606/2024 of the Multi-Member Courtroom of First Example of Athens, it was once definitively determined through the Courtroom that the disparaging characterizations of “single daughter” or “ethnic daughter” and many others. for Ms. Elena Akrita aren’t legally permissible attributes attributed to her particular person, however to the contrary, they represent an unlawful insult to her character, a tort for which the courtroom orders the defendant – with a brief injunction – to withdraw her related posts from Fb, to submit the dispositive of the courtroom resolution and to chorus from such insults sooner or later, with the specter of a financial penalty 100 euros for each and every violation.

In step with the reason of the courtroom resolution:

“the defendant, with the most obvious goal of diminishing the character of the plaintiff, used the above slanderous, defamatory and insulting and most often insulting and demeaning characterizations in opposition to her and to start with the defendant time and again referred to the plaintiff with the phrase “daughter” accompanied through both with the adjective “single” or with the “nationwide” in which it implies the well known factor that had arisen for the reason that 12 months 2012 in regards to the legality or another way of the claimant being granted her overdue father’s pension whilst she was once married.

Particularly, the then Member of Parliament of Golden Break of day, Christos Pappas, had submitted a parliamentary query at the topic in query, by which the then Minister of Finance with out a. first 121986/8-8-2013 his file had clarified that N. 4470/1965 (F.E.Okay. A’ 86) “At the award of a private pension to the circle of relatives of the deceased Deputy Minister of Nationwide Training and Non secular Affairs Louki Akrita” which equipped for the granting of an honorary per month private pension to each the plaintiff’s mom and his spouse as above deceased Deputy Minister in addition to in plaintiff, as his daughter, with out the plaintiff’s celibacy or now not being a situation for its assortment, however just by the plaintiff’s marriage, it was once stipulated within the Circle of relatives Regulation that the quantity of the pension can be restricted to 1 / 4 of each and every parliamentary reimbursement.

In truth, the problem in query, which has taken on monumental proportions, has in particular disappointed the plaintiff and because of this she has been pressured to do so 3 times previously in opposition to 3rd events (in opposition to the newspaper Intention, X. Skaloubakas and M. Zorba ) for her justification.

But even so, and not too long ago the plaintiff together with her posts from 15-10-2020 and 4-4-2023 at the profile she maintains at the social networking medium “Fb” as soon as once more positioned herself in this factor, additionally mentioning in her 2d submit that “won’t depart unscathed somebody who dares to do the similar”, signing on the finish as “single daughter” in need of to lend an ironic tone on this cope with.

This intense annoyance of the plaintiff isn’t unknown to the defendant, since she herself admits that she is conscious about each the related Regulation and the above submit dated 4-4-2023 of the plaintiff.

Due to this fact, the defendant, the usage of the above word in her disputed posts, was once now not merely striking herself within the phenomenon of “circle of relatives custom” seen within the Greek Parliament, in line with which a vital collection of MPs are associated with individuals who have been both MPs or ministers previously, corresponding to on this case, the plaintiff neither criticized a prior political remark through the plaintiff during which she referred to the movements of the deceased Executive of Syriza which bequeathed to the present executive of New Democracy.

To the contrary, through the usage of this word, which had an ironic tone, the defendant made a derogatory characterization of the plaintiff’s character that was once now not objectively vital for the efficiency of her concept.”

In this foundation, the Courtroom rejected the defendant’s declare that the designation in query is allegedly a type of “political complaint” and that it may be freely used for Ms. Akrita, since this word isn’t associated with any of the movements or phrases of the member of parliament in query.
The truth that there was once a regulation that awarded a share of an honorary pension to an orphan and a widow of a soldier in addition to a journalist correspondent of the Epic of 1940 corresponding to – amongst others – the deputy minister Loukis Akritas isn’t a legitimate reason the criminal order tolerates using this of knowledge as an ironic insult. Moreover, no person may also be held accountable, now not even politically accountable, for the movements of others. This is why the courtroom recollects that the subject was once initiated through a member of parliament of the Nazi formation, thus figuring out the framework that helps such personality assassinations and verbal abuse in opposition to ladies.

By way of the similar resolution, the Courtroom discovered that the defendant insulted the character of the plaintiff with 5 (5) different posts of hers, additionally tolerating insults from her commentators, for which it acknowledges the total duty of the defendant who has authorized their retention, even supposing has been knowledgeable about them through extrajudicial declaration. Because of this, the courtroom obliged her to pay as financial pleasure the quantity of two,500 euros, with hobby from the submitting of the lawsuit (because of this to this point the reimbursement already quantities to three,117 euros) and an extra 500 euros for the plaintiff’s courtroom prices . The verdict is topic to the criminal help of the attraction, which is exercised on the collection of the defendant, i.e. for a time frame all over which the hobby at the reimbursement continues, if validated through the courtroom of attraction.

As attorney-in-fact of Ms. Akrita, I categorical my pleasure with the reason of the verdict, in regards to the disputed factor of the honorary pension.

I additionally be aware that two different judgments are pending from the similar courtroom on proceedings introduced in opposition to different individuals who’ve additionally been in a similar fashion characterised alleging the similar dismissible protection. I due to this fact moderately be expecting that for the identification of the criminal reason why, the Courtroom will deal with the pending instances accordingly, with out after all prejudging just about anything, in view of the independence of each and every judicial composition.

I thank the deputy Ms. Akrita for her consider and I congratulate her for her vindication. It was once anticipated and self-evident.”
