Avgenakis case

In our faction, violence is not accepted and the phrase immunity that he allegedly said is not only infuriating but also stupid” and he added: “Obviously Mr. Avgenakis was out of his mind but there is no excuse. I do not accept any suggestion from the left regarding the attack with the “oh to hell” of Fotiou towards Kefalogianni”.
