“Don’t behave like a spoiled child,” said Nikos Pappas, responding to Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who left the Parliament during his speech.

It is recalled that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis mentioned the reasons why he left during the speech of Nikos Pappas in the Parliament, during his retrial from the floor of the Parliament. As he said, he left because he does not recognize as a representative of the official opposition a politician convicted by 13-0 by the special court.

In particular, Nikos Pappas stated:

“Mr. President, I would like to thank you for maintaining parliamentary order even at times when I criticized you publicly. You see this is not the measure for all of us. I expected and we knew that the court case will be used and instrumentalized and we did not expect this declared institutional impasse. He doesn’t have to like me, he himself has a history of trying to meddle in the internal affairs of other parties. Now he wants to choose who and how he will be the official opposition leader. First, don’t act like a spoiled child. With his current attitude while speaking, the president proves that he is disrespectful to the Law and the Constitution, a coward because he is not in the room to face us and guilty gentlemen of the government. And do you know why?

And he added: “Why has he been applying the law on television licenses continuously since 2019. It would be more functional, between us when we talk about this, not to talk about the Pappa law, to talk about the Mitsotakis-Pappa law. His move today is a stain on your faction. You don’t have to like anyone. Who will represent the official opposition in parliament is none of their business».
