Destruction in Volos with Konstantopoulou and the president of the court – She filed a lawsuit, they took away her speech

Unprecedented tension prevailed in the courts of Volos on the occasion of the trial of Thomas Klimopoulos and Ar. Fragoudakis, after a lawsuit by city councilors of the Beu faction, for incidents at a meeting of the Municipal Council in 2017, between Zoi Konstantopoulou and the president of the seat.

During the trial, the president of Plevsis Eleftherias, which defends the two defendants, attacked the president of the chamber, saying, among other things, that she works “in favor of Beu”, while she filed a lawsuit against her, but also answered requests to exclude her from the case , which were rejected.

The president, for her part, addressed Konstantopoulou in a strong tone, while after repeated interruptions she took away her floor and did not allow her to ask questions to witnesses.

More specifically, everything started when Zoe Konstantopoulou announced to the court that one of the defendants, Mr. Fragoudakis, felt unwell due to high blood pressure and was taken to the Hospital. The president of the court gave her just two minutes to file her statement and that’s when the first explosion came.

“You caused extreme tension earlier, as a result of which Ar was taken to the hospital. Frangoudakis. He claimed his rights and you intentionally caused him harm. You targeted defendants for the umpteenth time. You are the mayor’s court,” she said and submitted a written request asking to know why 5 witnesses were examined without her being present.

“You’re acting like a judge taking orders from Ah. Beo and despises the defendants”, he also told the president of the Court, requesting that the trial be suspended so that Mr. Fragoudakis’ health could be established, which was not accepted.

In fact, the president of Pl. Eleftherias accused her of bias in favor of Ah. Beu. “You are extremely subservient to the municipal authority,” he stressed.

Constantopoulou’s request was rejected, she filed a lawsuit

The president of the chamber rejected her requests, as well as the re-examination of the 5 witnesses. This was followed by Konstantopoulou’s statement that he would file a lawsuit against her for breach of duty.

Another interruption followed and after the president of the seat asked to be informed by the Complaints Department if a lawsuit had been filed against her, Mrs. Konstantopoulou stated that the president was ridiculing the process. He filed a new request to disqualify the president and there was another interruption.

After all of Ms. Konstantopoulou’s exemption requests were denied, the depositions began, with Konstantopoulou once again enraged because former city councilor D. Livoyiannis, who was the one who sued the defendants, was called to testify. There the president removed her floor and began to examine the witness, while then she did not allow the president of Plevsis Eleftherias to ask questions to witnesses.

Instead, he called the other plaintiff, A. Zervas, to file another new exemption request, with the complaint that Mr. Livoiannis had an acquaintance with the president.

The proceedings continued, with Z. Konstantopoulou shouting “shame” when the president did not allow questions to one of the witnesses. In fact, the president of the court allegedly forbade witnesses to give answers to certain questions of the prosecutors’ lawyers. There came the second lawsuit by Konstantopoulou who called the police department and asked for an automatic procedure to be applied against the president.

The incredible thing is that during the tension, the testimony of witnesses continued and the two who sued the defendants, admitted that they did not remember if they had actually used violence against them.

At the end, Zoe Konstantopoulou made the following statements:
