The announcement of Alexis Georgoulis

“Request to lift my European parliamentary immunity and resign from the Euro group of SYRIZA – PS

“Unfortunately, we live in difficult and dangerous times. To my great surprise, I am informed that an obviously false and slanderous complaint has been filed against me for an incident that allegedly happened three years ago. In the face of this false and insulting attack, which takes place – probably not by chance – a few days before the national elections, I intend to fight my battle in justice, for the truth and the restoration of my name, requesting the removal of my MEP myself immunity.

“In this context and because I do not at all want to influence the struggle of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, at all levels, with a purely personal issue, I place myself at the disposal of the party’s organs and submit my resignation from member of the party as well as from the Eurogroup of SYRIZA-PS.

Yours sincerely

Alexis Georgoulis”
