Clashes broke out in the Greek parliament during talks on lifting the immunity of the party leader

In Greece, a member of parliament who left the far-right Spartans Party was detained for punching a member of parliament from another far-right party, the Greek Solution. According to media reports, during the discussions in the parliament regarding the removal of the immunity of Greek Solution Party President Kiryakos Velopulos, a verbal argument took place between two MPs.

During the discussion that continued in the parliamentary corridors after the talks, Konstandinos Floros, who entered the parliament from the Spartans Party in the June 2023 general elections but later left the party, punched Greek Solution Party Deputy Vasilis Grammenos. Parliament Speaker Konstandinos Tasulas decided to suspend Floros from the parliament for 15 days.
