Konstantinos Floros, who remains in custody since yesterday after the deadline he received from the investigator, is called to apologize for violence against a member of parliament during the exercise of his duties.
The serious incident, which resulted in the injury of Mr. Grammenos, activated, with the immediate intervention of the Speaker of the Parliament, Kostas Tassoulas, the automatic procedure for committing a felony and thus the independent member of parliament was arrested immediately after his act.
V. Grammenos with a broken nose and a splint on his hand
It is worth noting that from the attack, Vassilis Grammenos suffered a broken nose. In particular, according to the medical announcement, the MP suffered: “fracture of the nasal bones, sprain and strain of the acromioclavicular joint, traumatic rupture of the wrist and fifeocarpal ligament, and other specified disorders of the nose. Following these, Mr. Grammenos will need a fifeocarpal rest splint, a suspension – arm rest file and a 10-day sick leave is recommended.”
“I got punched in the face”
Mr. Grammenos spoke to the Star about the unprecedented violent attack he received: “I don’t have to respond to everyone’s fantasies. We were verbally attacked by Floros and left the room. I didn’t have time to react, I was punched in the face and he threw me to the floor.”
Before attacking, Mr. Floros had an intense dialogue with Mr. Grammenos inside the room, while when both were outside, Mr. Floros attacked and punched the Hellenic Solution MP.
“Exaggeration for an unfortunate incident”
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”. At the same time, Ms. Pantazi, expressing surprise at the criminal charge against Mr. Floros, spoke of “legal exaggeration” over an “unfortunate personal incident”.
The timely intervention of Tassoula – guard
The episode between the independent MP and the Hellenic Solution MP took place outside the Plenary with the former grabbing the latter by the throat and throwing him to the floor. There had been a verbal episode between them when the removal of Kyriakos Velopoulos’ immunity was being discussed. The Hellenic Solution MP was initially taken to the Parliament’s clinic.
“We thought we were basically addressing people. By regulation, I remove him with the guard for 15 days from the proceedings. Obviously, and there will be a process of removing immunity. He will also face the legal consequences” said the president of the Parliament, Kostas Tasoulas.
The episode – fortunately – activated the immediate intervention of the guard and then the case was taken to the automatic procedure, for committing a felony and thus the independent member of parliament was arrested for his act.
Floros’s version of insults
According to what Mr. Floros mentioned in a dialogue he had with Mr. Grammenos, he addressed him with abusive and insulting characteristics. According to everything Mr. Floros said, they had the following dialogue:
K. Floros: This will be decided by the judges.
B. Grammenos: Shut up you garbage.
K. Floros: Come on.
B. Grammenos: C@@ your mother… You, your mother, I will take you and with the bracelets inside you will remember it in the past.
The refutation of the Greek Solution
In a statement issued by the Hellenic Solution, it refutes the dialogue, noting: “For some time now, there has been circulating on all sites an imaginative so-called dialogue, between the MP of the Greek Solution Vassilis Grammenos and the MP of the Spartans, Konstantinos Floros. The dialogue in question was given by the accused himself – for a felony now – but also by some “well-wishers”, who are trying to involve the Greek Solution, inventing him as a line of defense”.
