“The acts of violence, the practices of the extremes and the vulgar rhetoric of populism, return us to times that the country has left behind irretrievably and society has generally rejected”, notes, among other things, the government representative.

Analytically, Pavlos Marinakis points out in his statement that “what happened in the Parliament is unacceptable and uncharacteristic and not consistent with the Democratic polity. MPs turned the Parliament premises into a ring and a party leader threatens, indirectly but clearly, MPs, warning them not to go to church on Easter” and adds: “The acts of violence, the practices of the extremes and the vulgar rhetoric of populism, return us to times when the country has left behind irretrievably and society as a whole has rejected. We must, as a political system and as a society, stand against – and we will continue to do so – all these logics that have led the country to the brink of the cliff. We are against violence, against the phenomena of the emasculation of Democracy, against thuggery and threats”.

“We join our voice with the Speaker of the Parliament against this miserable incident,” said the ND parliamentary representative. Thanos Pleuris.

THE SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance unequivocally and unequivocally condemns the beating of the “Hellenic Solution” MP, Vassilis Grammenos, by the former “Spartias” MP, Konstantinos Floros, right outside the Plenary Chamber of the Parliament.

“This unprecedented and unimaginable incident demonstrates the contempt of far-right formations for parliament and emphatically reminds us of the danger posed to our Republic by the tolerance of hate speech and thuggery. Inside and outside the Parliament”, emphasizes SYRIZA.

From the official opposition, they add that “all progressive forces must raise a wall of solidarity and respect against the challenges of the far-right who want to turn the Parliament and Greek society into a jungle”.

“Democratic citizens must be vigilant, and isolate far-right, fascist perceptions, positions and behaviors,” said the SYRIZA-PS parliamentary representative. D. Kalamatianoswho agreed with the imposition of disciplinary measures against K. Floros.

“We unequivocally condemn, not only physical violence, but also those who incite physical violence against Members of Parliament”, said the parliamentary representative of PASOK-Movement of Change, D. Manzos.

“Fascism and the extreme right cannot be dealt with by legal means, but the people must crush it and send it to the dustbin of history,” said the parliamentary representative of the KKE. Thanasis Pafilis.

Commenting on the episode, Kyriakos Velopoulos he considered it “unthinkable, for the life-parts of politics, to behave violently as sheep-like wolves. Everyone can find as many excuses as they want […] Do you know what is the difference between humans and other animals? Animals may react if you tease them. But man differs in mind, judgment and logic, which some people do not have here, unfortunately”.

“Fantastic” characterizes the Greek solution the debate that saw the light of day, between the MP of the Hellenic Solution, Vassilis Grammenos, and the MP of the Spartans, Konstantinos Floros, before the beating of the former by the latter, in the Parliament.

“For some time now, one has been circulating on all sites imaginative so-called dialogue, between the MP of the Hellenic Solution Vassilis Grammenos and the MP of the Spartans Konstantinos Floros. The dialogue in question was given by the accused himself – now for a felony – but also by some others “well-wishers”who attempt to involve the Greek Solution, inventing him, as a line of defense“, the Hellenic Solution emphasizes in its announcement.

Also, the press office of the party points out: “We call on all media to refrain from reproducing it, otherwise we will be forced to resort to Justice».

“Today’s incident reminds us of what the political forces of the extreme right and fascism are, how they operate and what they stand for,” said the New Left MP. M. Tzoufi.

The president of KO Spartanates condemned the incident, B. Stigas calling on the president of the Parliament to give the particular MP the longest possible sentence “so that there are no such miserable incidents in here”.
