The Novartis case and transparency
Transparency is a great thing - so great that every democratic country should have it. In that sense, a recent opinion piece in Ta Nea newspaper by Movement for Change (KINAL) MP and former health minister Andreas Loverdos in which he asks for the next Parliament to examine "SYRIZA's attempt to establish a state separate from the democracy of transparency" makes sense.
In the same piece, Loverdos also said that "respect for the Constitution and the ability to remember recent painful memories are the political requirements to uncover very serious cases, with Novartis being the most serious." But was the Novartis frame-up really the most important case in the four-year effort by former coalition partners SYRIZA and Independent Greeks (ANEL) to harm democracy?
Don't take this the wrong way, an attempt by a government (and some strange mechanisms within the judicial system)...
