“You are asking me to accept a non-existent guilt. Obviously, this is not possible to do on my part” emphasizes Athina Linou in her letter to Stefanos Kasselakis, refusing to resign from her parliamentary capacity.
The – now independent – member of parliament blames his president SYRIZA that he participates “in the malicious slanders of Mr. Polakis” against her, “behaving as an uninvited judge”.
She also wonders when he got around to reading the 459 pages of information she handed him on Friday.
Earlier, Stefanos Kasselakis had stated that his office had been trying to contact Athena Linou all day, without a response.

A little later, Nikos Pappas, in his letter to the president of the Parliament, excluded Athina Linou from KO.

The letter in detail:
“Dear Mr. Kasselakis,
You asked me today through the Director of your office, Mr. Kapnisakis, to resign from my position as an MP of the SYRIZA-PS party, allegedly citing a lack of transparency in my work and already making relevant public statements. In this way you are asking me to accept a non-existent guilt. Obviously, this is not possible for me to do.
You also understand, of course, that in this way you are admitting that you are participating in the malicious slanders of Mr. Polakis against me, acting as an uninvited judge. And it’s a wonder when you got around to reading the 459 pages of evidence proving the impeccable management of Prolepsis to make your morally and logically meteoric claim.
So I am informing you that I am not going to resign as a member of the Greek Parliament, nor to surrender the seat that was given to me by my 25,000 plus voters”.
