Tension was caused in the Parliament, after the disgust of the SYRIZA MP P. Kouroublis for the deaths due to coronavirus in the ICU. In his speech on the Budget, Mr. Kouroublis spoke about the thousands of people who were killed, adding that it is a shame to say that the Prime Minister was not aware of the crime that took place in the ICU. Who will apologize for my lost friend, Mr. Kouroublis asked in a loud voice. After reactions from ND MPs, Mr. Kouroublis said: You killed people, thousands of people were killed.
In the intervention of the chairman A. Avdelas, to recall for the word murders, Mr. Kouroumblis refused to do so, while the ND MP G. Koumoutsakos, who followed the SYRIZA MP to the podium, called the parliamentary representative of the official opposition. Skourleti to separate the position of his party.
We have witnessed a miserable populism and an extreme populist who has the audacity to accuse a prime minister and an entire faction as murderers in the Greek Parliament, said Mr. Koumoutsakos. He even stressed that he will remain silent on the podium as long as there is no condemnation.
The Parliamentary Representative of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance, State MP, Panos Skourletis, during the second day of the debate, the state budget in the Plenary Session of the Parliament, after the reactions provoked by the position of the SYRIZA MP, Mr. pointed out:
“Those who feel the urgency of the moments are really shocked by what is happening in our country. As in the rest of the world, but in our country it was not lawful to be twice, on average, in terms of loss of human lives.
During these two days, we made a strong political criticism regarding the management of the pandemic. We asked specific questions. We did not get any answers. And as long as there are no answers about political responsibilities, I emphasize, political responsibilities, so much so, you realize, that we are paving the way for phrases that can be both misplaced and misunderstood.
Our space does not adopt the logic of what the former minister of PROPO had said, on February 21, 2021, that SYRIZA burned a hundred people in Mati. We have not done and will not do a graveyard! We speak with principles, with solidarity with the world, with an awareness of the great problems we have and so we will continue.
If you want to slip on this path, do it. If you want to take advantage of a misplaced phrase by charging, so as not to answer what you have to answer, go ahead! “People judge.”
The parliamentary representative of the Movement for Change, Nadia Giannakopoulou, said that populism and insanity cannot drown us. We will not oppose the dead, we will not become gravediggers over the ICU and the dead said Mrs. Giannakopoulou.
His characterizations characterize him, said the parliamentary representative of ND, Chr. Boukoros.
Also, the KKE MP Aleka Papariga, noted that we KKE, do not feel the need to use in our political confrontation swearing, insults and characterizations, even when at some point we get angry with something that refers to us.
The dialogue recorded is indicative of the intensity caused:
Kouroublis (SYRIZA): Selective choice offensive to the Greek people. So we are waiting for the Prime Minister to come, who should have really resigned after this revelation. Because you will apologize. You will not go through it like that. Because people were killed in this environment. “Do you realize that?” He said characteristically.
Members of Parliament SW: Shame! Shame!
Kouroublis: This is a shame to you. You have the audacity to speak. At least you are silent. Disgrace! You killed people, you did that. Thousands of people were killed. This is the reality.
Avdelas: Please recall
Kouroublis: I do not recall anything…
Markopoulos (SW): You are a provocateur. Is it possible to call us murderers?
Kouroublis: You are accountable for what is happening and at least acknowledge the mistake. People died do you understand this thing? People died unjustly.
Taking the floor immediately, the ND MP, George Koumoutsakos spoke of misery and extreme populism and called on SYRIZA to separate its position. However, the parliamentary representative of SYRIZA, Panos Skourletis, also distanced himself from Mr. Kouroublis, talking about inappropriate and misunderstood expressions.
Plenary reprimanded against P. Kouroublis, for anti-parliamentary behavior
A rebuke for anti-parliamentary behavior was attributed, after a proposal by the Speaker of the Parliament K. Tassoula, to the SYRIZA MP P. Kouroumblis for the phrase he addressed to the government deputies, “you killed people”. The decision of the Plenary Session of the Parliament implies the reduction of one quarter of his monthly compensation.
“Having a colleague who, addressing the majority, says that you have killed thousands of people, and that ‘I insist and I do not recall’, ‘is the most vulgar, disgusting, and undermining of Parliament’s prestige and can be said here,'” he said. -a applauded- the Speaker of Parliament and continued: “In fact, it should not be deleted from the minutes, it should remain as a bad example of a behavior that we unanimously condemn.”
“We can not ignite the social automation of hatred against political representatives. “I address the body and stigmatize Mr. Kouroublis with a rebuke of anti-parliamentary behavior for what he disgustingly said”, stressed Mr. Tassoulas.
In his intervention, the Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister and Government Spokesman Giannis Oikonomou, said that there is an issue for SYRIZA and its leader, Al. Tsipras, who must disapprove of his MP. He must be led to come to the hall to recall, otherwise he will be removed from his parliamentary group, said Mr. Economou. Otherwise, he added, he tolerates (Mr. Tsipras) and directs such unacceptable behaviors.
The parliamentary representative of SYRIZA, Nikos Filis said that the situation of the pandemic is difficult and that “with an exchange of insults” there is no solution. We are not covered by what Mr. Kouroublis said, in his rage and anger, as (as Mr. Kouroublis said) he has lost his friends, Mr. Filis underlined. In the previous period, ND MPs called me a traitor for my stance on the Prespa agreement, while the former Minister of Citizen Protection had said that SYRIZA burned 100 people in Mati. Democracy is not proceeding like this, with “one of you and one of me” stressed Mr. Filis.
