Konstantopoulou on Georgiadis: ‘He Didn’t Sue Me Because He’s a Chicken’ – Health Minister’s Response

Zoe Konstantopoulou launched another verbal attack last night (Feb 2, 2026) against Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis, calling him a ‘chicken.’ She later retracted the remark, acknowledging it was an inappropriate animal comparison — one she said she avoids out of respect for animals. Konstantopoulou also criticized the KKE for ‘supporting the system’ and likened former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to a ‘vulture,’ later retracting that analogy too. Referring to her own legal complaint against Georgiadis, she claimed: ‘The wise people say something about donkeys — but I won’t compare animals, because I love them. He tightened his milk supply after receiving the lawsuit; he had three months to file one himself — but he’s a chicken.’ She immediately added: ‘It’s an animal and bird comparison — I withdraw it.’ She went on to accuse him of dehumanizing, insulting, and diminishing others through fascist behavior and extreme sexism, warning such figures would ‘understand only in court.’ Georgiadis responded the next morning on X (formerly Twitter), reminding followers that ‘someone from the Left previously did the same to me — you know how it ended — yet they never learn… The rest will be settled in court.’ Konstantopoulou also criticized the KKE for voting alongside New Democracy on a controversial joint custody bill proposed by Olga Kefalogianni — a bill her party opposed, citing its ‘photographic’ (i.e., copy-paste) nature. She questioned why the KKE supports such measures while falsely accusing Freedom Sail. On polls showing the government at over 28%, she dismissed them as ‘untrustworthy,’ adding: ‘Mitsotakis won’t see 28% even in his dreams.’ She warned of ‘vultures and professionals lying in wait,’ referencing Tsipras as a symbol of hypocrisy and betrayal — doubting he’ll launch a new party, saying he ‘can’t face public accountability for his record — unlike me, who’s ready.’ Regarding Maria Karystianou, she declined comment, stating: ‘I have open relations with family — it’s my choice to serve this struggle without the distractions the system demands.’
