It seems that Zoe Konstantopoulou<\/b> has decided to turn the Parliament<\/b> into her personal mud-slinging arena<\/b>.<\/p>\n
It amply demonstrates that the only “program” available to the Liberty Party is to produce toxicity<\/b>. In a new argument<\/b> to the Committee on Institutions and Transparency,Konstantopoulou attempted to flatten any notion of institutional dialogue<\/b> by launching a attack “against everyone”<\/b> that lacks any seriousness and basic respect for democracy.<\/p>\n
The beginning was made with ND’s Notis Mitarakis<\/b>, whom the president of the People’s Party attempted to “judge” and “condemn” in summary proceedings<\/b>, linking him to unsubstantiated accusations and essentially calling for his exclusion from parliamentary proceedings. <\/p>\n
Mitarakis’s<\/b> response, which he called “unacceptable and offensive intervention<\/b>“, was the only institutionally appropriate response to a politician who calls<\/b> anyone who does not agree with her or who just happens to be in her field of vision at the time “suspects and fugitives”<\/b>.<\/p>\n
But Constantopoulou didn’t stop there<\/b>. She opened her “glossary of insults<\/b>” and began dishing out characterizations<\/b> that increase the level of our political culture<\/b>. <\/p>\n
She called Justice Minister Giorgos Florides<\/b> – a man who is fighting to clean up and speed up the justice system – a “fascist” for daring to set limits on her own frenzy. “For a fascist to say that I am associated with a criminal organization is a criminal act,” she said in her usual mouthpiece<\/b>, while targeting<\/b> those who criticize her own authoritarian ways<\/b> with phrases like “fascists.”<\/p>\n
Her attacks<\/b> extended to Adonis Georgiadis<\/b>, whom she accused in terms of parapolitical intrigue<\/b> that “he wants to eat Mitsotakis’s position<\/b>“, while she did not fail to pull Alexis Tsipras<\/b> out of the dustbin, claiming that he “destroyed the country”.<\/p>\n
It is truly admirable how one person manages to see conspiracies, “blackmailed prime ministers” and “unscrupulous powers”<\/b> everywhere, while she leads a party whose sole task is disrupting meetings and spewing mud<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In the face of this institutional “steamroller”<\/b>, the government and its ministers remain committed to their task<\/b>, refusing to slip into the level of a political brawl reminiscent of a badly-constructed street performance. <\/p>\n
Mrs. Constantopoulou’s insistence on presenting herself as the only “incorruptible” punisher<\/b>, while using vocabulary that would make even the most fanatical supporters of the podium blush, mathematically leads her to political handwriting<\/b>. Greece needs a serious opposition, not a “voice” that only succeeds in causing headaches to the institutions and sadness to the citizens watching the debasement of the Parliament<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
