Intense Confrontation Between Mitsotakis and Pappas in Parliament

A heated exchange took place between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and SYRIZA MP Nicos Pappas during a parliamentary debate on the establishment of a pre-investigation committee for the Tempi scandal. During his speech, Mitsotakis reiterated his intention to seek a revision of Article 86 of the Constitution regarding ministerial responsibility to expedite cases reaching natural courts. Pappas reacted strongly, leading Mitsotakis to remind him of his condemnation by the Special Court with a score of 13-0. The dialogue intensified as Pappas accused Mitsotakis of being reckless and culpable. Meanwhile, Kyriakos Velopoulos, President of Greek Solution, addressed the prime minister directly, questioning his authority with remarks like “Who do you think you are?” This high-stakes political confrontation highlighted tensions over accountability and governance.
