The confrontation between Zois Konstantopoulou and Lianas Kanellis after the president of Freedom of Navigation sued for defamation against the backdrop of statements by the KKE MP, about the way in which the then Speaker of the Parliament had handled the Golden Dawn case.

“I was sued because I spoke about the holy person of Mrs. Konstantopoulou. I’m not going to apologize” said Liana Kanelli shortly before the vote on the lifting of her immunity, explaining that this is the second time in 25 years of parliamentary presence that she has been sued, after that of Ilias Kasidiaris.

“The leader of the party was found suing a female MP. It has not occurred to me to sue a colleague for much harsher characterizations” argued Liana Kanelli, insisting that the Parliament during her days Mrs. Konstantopoulou “covered” the Golden Dawn. “I do not have the privilege of interrupting the Parliament 7 times to speak”, he added.

“Here it is clear, Ms. Kanelli with me he slandered with the most vulgar way. During the Junta, Kanelli did career and my father and my mother was in prison. They were tortured and I don’t allow any Mrs. Kanellis who belatedly makes a career as communist to pose to questioning my course», said Ms. Konstantopoulou, reversing the arrows, emphasizing that it is not a lawsuit against the KKE, but against a member of parliament “with a villa in Ekali who steps in the Parliament once in a thousand years».

“Vulgarity when uttered by a vulgar speaker falls on deaf ears. And when it is launched by Ms. Konstantopoulou it is the my second parliamentary award after the lawsuit of Ilias Kasidiaris» replied Ms. Kanelli, adding: “No one can slander Ms Konstantopoulou more than she can slander herself. On April 21, 1967, I was a student of the first high schoolI was 13 years old and if that’s what it’s called student career in Huda WHY WHY WHY».
