Parliament head condemns attack against ND MP Koumoutsakos
Parliament President Nikos Voutsis expressed his “unequivocal condemnation” of the attack against New Democracy MP Giorgos Koumoutsakos outside parliament on Thursday evening, during a protest rally of Pontic Greeks.
Voutsis said the attack was perpetrated by “extremist elements that use nationalistic, racist and intolerant speech as a cover, even for violence even against members of the Greek Parliament”.
“It is an example of despicable behaviour from which all must distance themselves and allow democratic dialogue on all issues to continue freely, despite political disagreements created by scientific and political issues,” he added
