Ukugcina ubuqotho besayensi ekuqulweni kabusha kwe-Georgiou

I-International Science Council IKomidi Lenkululeko Nokuzibophezela Kwesayensi uyaqhubeka nokulandela ngokukhathazeka okujulile ukuhlukunyezwa osekunesikhathi eside kukaDkt Andreas Georgiou, owayeyinhloko yehhovisi lezibalo laseGreece (ELSTAT), obhekene nokuqulwa kwecala kabusha ngomhlaka-19 Septhemba 2025 ngecala "lokwephula umsebenzi."

Lokhu kulandela isinqumo seNkantolo Ephakeme YaseGreece sokulivula kabusha leli cala, ngokuvumelana nesinqumo sango-2023 seNkantolo YaseYurophu Yamalungelo Abantu (ECHR), eyathola ukuthi uDkt Georgiou akazange agwetshwe ngendlela efanelekile nokuthi iSiphakamiso 6 se-European Convention on Human Rights sasiphuliwe.

UDkt Georgiou ekuqaleni walahlwa yicala “lokwephula umsebenzi” ngokungalethi izibalo zaseGreece ezibuyekeziwe zika-2009 kanye nezibalo zezikweletu evotini lebhodi labangezona izibalo. Ukuhambisa idatha ngale ndlela kuyobe kuphule kokubili umthetho we-EU kanye nowaseGreece futhi kubukela phansi ukuzimela kochwepheshe okudingekayo ngaphansi Kwekhodi Yokusebenza Yezibalo YaseYurophu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Eurostat - ihhovisi lezibalo le-European Union - iqinisekise ngokuphindaphindiwe ukunemba kwezibalo eziphikisanayo. Ngenxa yalokhu, uDkt Georgiou ubekezelele iminyaka eyishumi nane ekumangaleleni amacala obugebengu kanye nomphakathi hhayi ngenxa yokungaziphathi kahle, kodwa ngenxa yokufeza umsebenzi wakhe wobungcweti wokuxhasa ubuqotho besayensi nokusebenzela izithakazelo zomphakathi.

I-CFRS ibheka udaba lukaDkt Georgiou njengophawu lwezingozi ososayensi nochwepheshe ababhekana nazo umsebenzi wabo, owenziwe ngokuhambisana nezindinganiso zochwepheshe ezamukelwa emhlabeni wonke, ungqubuzana nezinhlelo zezombangazwe. Ukuqulwa kwecala lakhe kabusha kunikeza ithuba abehluleli baseGreece ukuthi baqinisekise ukuthi izazi zezibalo kufanele zikwazi ukwenza imisebenzi yazo yobungcweti ngaphandle kokugxambukela kwezombusazwe noma ukucwaswa. Isinyathelo esinjalo singasiza futhi ukubuyisela isithunzi seGreece senkululeko nomthwalo wemfanelo wesayensi futhi sithumele uphawu olucacile kwamanye amazwe okwamanje abeka ukufaneleka kwezombusazwe ngaphezu kobuqotho besayensi.

I-CFRS ime noDkt Georgiou kanye nemiphakathi yamazwe ngamazwe yezibalo nesayensi osekuyisikhathi eside imeseka ekuceleni ukuba akhululwe futhi akhululwe ngokuphelele.

Lesi sitatimende silandela ukungenelela okubili kwe-ISC kwangaphambilini odabeni lukaDkt Georgiou: in 2021, IKomidi le-ISC Lenkululeko Nomthwalo Wemfanelo Kwezesayensi lixwayise ngokuthi ukuqulwa kwamacala kusongela ubuqotho besayensi eGreece nangale kwayo, futhi 2022, UMkhandlu uphinde wagcizelela ukukhathazeka kwawo ngokuphikelela kwesenzo somthetho naphezu kokuqinisekiswa okuphindaphindiwe kwezibalo eziphikiswa yi-Eurostat.

Sikukhuthaza ukuthi wabelane ngalesi sibuyekezo ukuze usize ukuqwashisa ngodaba lukaDkt Georgious kanye nokubaluleka kokuvikela inkululeko yesayensi.
