“Konstantinos Floros was angry that I cursed him… No one heard anything like that” said Vassilis Grammenos
His own testimony about the “hot episode” with Konstantinos Floros in the Parliament was given by Vassilis Grammenos.
The member of the Hellenic Solution spoke about the state of his health at Mega, stressing “God willing, I’m doing better than yesterday. I had some dizziness. I am at home, I am bedridden on the recommendation of the doctors,” he said. “I was the victim, and from being a victim I cannot become a perpetrator. That’s what they’re trying to do, turn me into an abuser. I didn’t just get punched, he tried to choke me. During the choke he managed a blow to my nose. This is the least”.
“Konstantinos Floros scoffed that I cursed him… No one heard anything like that. I said absolutely not a word. After the beatings he managed to give me, he was supposed to be arrested. They took him to the corner. He claimed that he started swearing at me inside and outside the hall. I never cursed him, I never waved at him. I left the room to protect myself. He cursed me in the hall in the most vulgar way and made obscene gestures and I never responded,” he added.
According to what the member of the Hellenic Solution claimed, after the violent incident Konstantinos Floros was moving freely inside the Parliament. “When Kyriakos Velopoulos was on the floor of the Parliament, he was at the door of the Plenary making obscene gestures (to the president of the Hellenic Solution)”, he said.
“Why shouldn’t I defend myself? I don’t know how to defend myself? Why should I hit back? Why should I do it in Parliament? I entered the Parliament to represent the Greek citizens, not to make her a ring” remarked the Hellenic Solution MP.
As Vassilis Grammenos mentioned on Friday, he is going to testify in the presence of their lawyer at the judicial authorities.
