The Judges and Prosecutors Union in Greece has issued a strong statement against certain unnamed politicians, accusing them of political opportunism surrounding the trial of the Tempi case. The union criticized what it termed 'political tomb robbery' and expressed concern over the influence of these politicians on the public perception of the trial, particularly through false accusations about the judicial process. The announcement highlighted the role of political figures in undermining judicial authority by insinuating the illegitimacy of the trial's composition.

They emphasized that the judges selected for the trial were appointed through transparent procedures by the Supreme Judicial Council, asserting that these officials were adequately qualified to handle the significant responsibilities entrusted to them. The union condemned the unfounded allegations of manipulated judicial appointments and accused the politicians of exploiting the tragic context of the case for electoral gain, which they interpreted as an affront to the justice system.

In their resolution, the Judges and Prosecutors Union reiterated their support for the appointed judges and called for an end to the politicization of legal matters. By emphasizing the importance of an impartial judiciary, the union seeks to safeguard the integrity of the trial against external pressures and to uphold the trust of the public in the legal process.
