Share on:

The debate regarding the lifting of immunity of a DISY MP is ongoing, following allegations of violence against a woman. The issue of immunity has sparked public outcry, with many calling for its immediate removal so that legal proceedings can proceed.

According to the article, in healthier societies, the MP would resign automatically. Criticism focuses on the delay in lifting the immunity, which is seen as hindering the administration of justice. It is emphasized that the seriousness of the allegation requires an immediate response from institutions, regardless of the MP's party affiliation.

The statement by the DISY MP is considered by many as an attempt to weaken the allegation. The need for institutions to function and for immunity to be lifted is emphasized, in order to avoid popular trials and ensure fair handling of the case by the judiciary.

The article concludes with criticism of party-state democracy, where alleged perpetrators try to avoid the consequences. It also mentions the example of an MEP who completed his term with an allegation of sexual harassment, raising questions about the ethics and responsibility of politicians.
