New round of confrontation at Parliament caused by the announcement of the results of the roll-call vote for the lifting of Zoi Konstantopoulou’s immunityas the National Delegation decided by a wide majority to accept the court request concerning the president of Plefsis Eleftherias.
Immediately after the announcement by the president Olga GerovasiliMs. Konstantopoulou requested the floor for comment, however the floor had already been given to another member of parliament. An intense debate followed, while later when the president of Plevsis Eleftherias took the floor, she accused Mrs. Gerovasilis of how she “wants a state with Mitsotakis as king and Dora Bakoyannis as queen”. The reference to Mrs. Bakoyannis came as a follow-up of the episode starring Zoe Konstantopoulou at the presidents’ conference. The opening dialog goes like this:
Constantopoulou: I ask for the reason.
Gerobasili: You do not have the floor because I have given it to Mr. Kottidis.
Constantopoulou: I asked for the floor and I am leading as Chief and you know that.
Gerobasili: Yes, but I have announced. Mr. Kottidis is late. Immediately after, you will have the floor, Ms. Konstantopoulou.
Constantopoulou: I asked for the reason. I asked for the reason. I asked for the reason. This is the second time you’ve done it. I asked for the reason.
Gerobasili: It has never been done by me again. You will take the floor right after.
Constantopoulou: I asked for the reason. I asked for the reason. I was notified by the services about the announcement.
Gerobasili: There is no commenting process for the announcement.
Constantopoulou: Aren’t you a little ashamed of what you do? Aren’t you ashamed? You have been in collusion with Ms. Bakoyannis since last week.
Gerobasili: You realize that I am not going to answer you, because my position does not allow it.
Konstantopoulou: Your position is to resign.
Gerobasili: You have resigned from parties.
Konstantopoulou: No, you are wrong and your comments in this way are unethical and impermissible.
Gerobasili: You will have the floor when it is your turn.
At that point he intervened Pavlos Polakiscommenting with irony: “The other guy across the street is laughing”, meaning him Adonis Georgiadis. The Minister of Development replied with a smile: “Well, with what I see, what should I do? Shouldn’t I laugh?’ OR Zoe Konstantopoulou she returned, addressing Olga Gerovasili, saying: “You are a crutch, Mrs. Gerovasili.”
The Gerovasilis-Konstantopoulou feud continued immediately after the speech of MP Kottidis, with the dialogue between the two extending to the recent episode that developed at the Conference of Presidents when the President of the Freedom Movement took out her mobile phone to record Dora Bakoyannis and the ND MP called her “hysterical”.
¨Some are bothered by Freedom Sailing. The restriction of the speech of the political leaders of the opposition was routed. We know that no one will limit the Prime Minister or the Ministers. In this unholy alliance we saw the strange partnership of Gerovasilis with Bakoyannis who has said that the Parliament is a small shop. I had asked Mr. Georgantas to speak before.
The only one who didn’t know it was the president who went so far as to deny a political leader the floor. You want a state with Mitsotakis as king and Dora Bakoyannis as queen,” Ms. Konstantopoulou initially said, then commented on the result of the vote that lifted her parliamentary immunity.
“I requested the lifting of my immunity as I have requested in all cases. I am very glad that you changed your attitude. But I consider what happened to be revealing. Who gave the line for the ND vote? Adonis Georgiadis. Dendias who says the moderate is targeted and the Goebbels praiser gives the line”
Commenting on the new position, Ms. Gerovasili said: “no regulation was violated. There is a list of speakers that was overturned due to an emergency incident in a member of parliament. I did not take away your floor. I delayed your speech by 7 minutes. At the Conference, of course, and I was disturbed when you raised your mobile phone to take a picture. I remind you of what you did not say. I asked for the withdrawal of a provision that I considered You forgot to mention that.
Konstantopoulou: the truth is different. I will publicize…
Gerobasili: I didn’t talk about the abuse you used against me. I don’t use a website either here or elsewhere
Konstantopoulou: Don’t interrupt me. Come down if you want. I, as Speaker of the House, respected the Rules of Procedure and I was reproached for respecting the result of the referendum. I will not act as if historical events have not happened.
Mrs. Bakoyannis the person whose car has killed a person in front of the Parliament and they covered it up by hiding the cameras. Here in Parliament. I was out of parliament then and you were here in opposition and did nothing. Outside Parliament, I had sent a letter to Tasoula. A convenience store robbery takes place and we see it on camera. Nothing here. Bakoyannis did not reveal that it was her own car.
Bakoyannis until the Ministry of Foreign Affairs let go Karavelas and her close friend Christoforakos of Siemens. Mitsotakis received a gift from Siemens. And Bakoyannis attacked me at the Conference with personal and sexist expressions. Hysterical staff said about me. There is a problem, Konstantopoulou said at another point, but you did not react. And then she turned her entire chair and was staring at me defiantly. And you helped her in what she did.
There are no cameras in the Conference But there is audio and I captured it and it bothered you. It bothered you because you support this system. We are not all the same. Some are kind of comfortable. Some don’t want to shake up the system because it will fall. We want it to fall. We consider it an obligation to be a factor that will bring them down.
