[01] Justice minister confers with Supreme Court president
Justice minister Nikos Dendias met Tuesday with Areios Pagos (Greek
supreme court) president Vassilis Nikopoulos, to discuss matters
concerning acceleration of the attribution of justice.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Dendias said that, in
cooperation with the economy ministry, a bill would be tabled in
parliament prohibiting detainment of citizens for debts to the state up
to the sum of 150,000 euros.
Dendias said he was in deliberations with the employment ministry so
that the same arrangement may be extended to apply to debts to social
security funds as well.
The minister said that the purpose of the arrangement was not to
benefit big debtors, but, rather, was a measure of social solidarity in
a difficult period.
