Adonis Georgiadis offered fresh remarks on Monday regarding his recent post about Amnesty International and the International Criminal Court ICC in The Hague, arguing that his message underscored what he considers left wing hypocrisy. Clarification followed as he aligned himself with European political groups and 9 EU prime ministers calling for a reassessment of the legal framework governing pushbacks, which are currently deemed unlawful by the European Court of Human Rights. Additional context emerged as he explained that his tweet targeted accounts accusing the government of failing to withdraw from Eurovision, insisting that everything ultimately carries political weight.
He later stressed that confusion had arisen between the ICC and the separate court where Greece may submit an appeal concerning Turkey, noting that two distinct judicial bodies operate in The Hague. Further criticism was directed at Amnesty International, which he accused of acting against key European interests while referencing the European leaders seeking intervention on human rights case law linked to migration policy. Emphasis shifted to migration pressures in Europe, which he described as existential challenges requiring a renewed examination of the rules around pushbacks.
He also argued that the country continues to recognize international law yet must protect itself, invoking the Roman maxim that the salvation of the people is the highest law. Support was expressed for the mayor of Florina amid controversy surrounding the band Banda Entopica, with Georgiadis describing the area as sensitive and rejecting claims that the mayor held extreme views. Commentary extended to farmers protests, as he contended that their cause is weakened when they pursue demands he considers unreasonable.
He concluded by backing the Speaker of Parliament on plans to restrict live broadcasts of parliamentary committee sessions, maintaining that some lawmakers seek attention through disruptive behavior when cameras are present. Calls for reassessment were repeated as he argued that committees risk becoming platforms for spectacle rather than institutional oversight.
