“Democracy is always strict with vigilantes,” Alternate Minister of Citizen Protection Nikos Toskas said on Saturday in statements to the Athens Macedonian News Agency (ANA) following his visit to former Prime Minister Loukas Papademos.
Toskas was accompanied by the chief of Hellenic Police Constantinos Tsouvalas.
Papademos, his driver and one other man in his security were injured in a suspected letter bomb blast that occurred while the three were riding in the former Greek premier’s armoured car on Thursday evening in downtown Athens.
Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the booby trapped envelope had undergone security screening at the parliament and the sender has been identified.
Asked if there was a security gap, the minister replied: “We will fill any (security) gaps that may have existed.”
“The government and the police are working systematically to bring to justice the perpetrators of the terrorist attack,” Toskas underlined.
