Letter of resignation from his Parliamentary Group SYRIZA sent by Elena Akritawhich, however, was not accepted by Nikos Pappas.

Elena Akrita’s post:

“Despite the fact that I apologized for my mistake, I judged that I have a moral duty to resign from the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA PS.
I sent a relevant letter to the president of KO, making my office available to the party.

Nikos Pappas did not accept my resignation, considering that, in this case, public admission, recognition and restoration is enough.

This is how I go about life. With right, with mistakes always guided by my value system and my conscience”.

Uproar from Elena Akrita’s post

Earlier, there was a great debate within SYRIZA and beyond, about Elena Akrita’s post on Facebook, with the photo from the Open poll, in which SYRIZA was the fifth party.

An indoor swimming pool was seen in the background of the photo with the chart from the poll, which was highly commented on by X users.

Responding to the comments about the pool, Ms. Akrita wrote: “And to get ahead of them, yes the house has had a pool for almost 40 years, since 1985 when it was built. If I had something to hide I wouldn’t have photographed her. Don’t be afraid of the full one, be afraid of the washerwoman’s son. Who entered politics with a hole in his underpants and found himself with a colossal fortune.”

However, today the MP came back apologizing for incorrectly attributing the phrase “do not be afraid of the full, be afraid of the washerwoman’s son” to Lenin:

“I would like to correct something I wrote yesterday. The phrase ‘fear not the full, fear the washerwoman’ is wrongly attributed to Lenin. Error. A mistake that many have made, myself among them, more than once. Lenin would never have written something so disparaging and I should have evaluated and cross-referenced it. I am truly sorry,” he wrote.
