SYRIZA defends MEP Nikos Pappa with his announcement, simultaneously launching an attack “on the Mitsotakis government and its paid guns”.
Specifically, it states: “The Mitsotakis government and its “paid guns”, from the media to internet trolls, have unfortunately reduced “murderous” operations to a daily routine, dangerously poisoning the public sphere. Such an operation has been launched in recent days also against the MEP of SYRIZA-PS, Nikos Pappa”.
It claims that “in the editor’s favorite tactic, they enlisted selected dialogue clips, videos and ‘audio clips’ peddled by far-right groups, lies about police officers who are no longer police officers, and after hiding the threats, curses and slurs against him N. Pappas and his relatives, made a mass of accusations that were reproduced by their friendly media, moving hypocritically and for the purpose of disorientation to the “institutional” attack on their real target, SYRIZA-PS and its president, including statements by Pavlos Marinakis and the ND MEPs in favor of “values and ideals”.
Returning the shots, he calls on the ND “to deal with the far-right, racist, homophobic and other “buds” that have found shelter and food in its bosom and let’s leave aside the throwing of mud against political opponents. Absolute respect to the police officers who act in the field, not to droplets that the police themselves have expelled from their bosoms and they rush to defend. Who used vulgar, homophobic, characterizations for the official opposition leader. And a reminder: if you nurture the snake of fascism, at some point it will bite you.”
In a kind of postscript, he refers to the press representative of the ND saying: “As for the unaccountable Mr. Romanos, let him better deal with the “paradigms” of the incompetent government policy that has allowed half of Attica to burn and the fire to reach Chalandri.”
Nikos Pappa’s answer
With a video through his Instagram account, once again SYRIZA MEP Nikos Pappas responded to the government’s reactions against him.
Mr. Pappas, in the video he posted, describes the publication of personal conversations as illegal and attributed his threats to the “drain” he receives daily on his profile from various citizens, even showing many of the messages with vulgar insults against him.
The SYRIZA MEP even states that he will continue to answer them as they deserve, “whether they are fascists, or policemen, or basketball players.”
The timeline of the case
It is recalled that on Saturday it became known that Nikos Pappas, in an online dispute he had with a police officer, allegedly unleashed insults against the industry, while in an audio released on the Internet later, he can be heard saying to the person he is chatting with through messages: “Good man to what you love.”
In the last few hours, a new audio featuring the MEP has been making the rounds on the internet, Nikos Pappas can be heard threatening again using uncharacteristic expressions.
New Democracy had called on Stefanos Kasselakis to remove the SYRIZA MEP, while the Union of Greek Police Officers of Attica had made a written protest, speaking of “bottomless hatred”.
In fact, the Eurogroup of the ruling party requested the “immediate expulsion” of the SYRIZA MEP Nikos Pappas in a statement.
The president of the Stadium of Peace and Friendship, Christina Tsilingiri, has also denounced the SYRIZA MEP.
