The separation of the judiciary from the legislature and executive powers is not a privilege accorded to judges but a constitutional guarantee so that they can administer justice impartially and unperturbed, President of the Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos said on Monday, while addressing a reception at the presidential mansion celebrating the 43rd anniversary since the return of democracy to Greece.
