Wednesday (24/04) can be described as a black page in the history of the Parliament. The episode between Konstantinos Floros and Vassilis Grammenos came to be added to the moments of tension that have been recorded in black letters in the history of the Greek parliament.

On Thursday, the independent member of parliament will go through the door of the investigator in order to testify, although he already denies that what is being complained about has happened. “I grabbed him by the collar and threw him down. No punches or anything else that has been said has happened in the slightest.
That can be proven anyway in any way of forensics or whatever if I punched anybody. If anyone is scarred by all this it might be me. On my neck where I also have some scratches. From the collar like a headlock and I threw him down” he said speaking to LIVE News.
According to statements by the defendant’s lawyer, Vassos Pantazis, the incident was preceded by a “vulgar verbal attack” by the victim towards her principal. The advocate referred to “justified indignation”, as “provided and defined in the criminal law”.
