It is reminded that earlier by decision of the Secretary of the Political Committee of N.D. Pavlou Marinaki, MEP George Kyrtsos was expelled from New Democracy.

According to an announcement by the Press Office of New Democracy, ” Mr. Kyrtsos, who was elected with the ND ballot, with an order from the voters to promote the Greek positions in the European Parliament, does the exact opposite with his posts. He internationally discredits the country by questioning the independence of the Greek judiciary and comparing Greece with states that violate the rules of the rule of law. With his attitude he insults all those who trusted him to represent them. To date, any criticism of the government has been tolerated, even if it goes too far. “But there can be no tolerance for defaming the country.”

More specifically, Article 5 §1.2 was applied, according to which the loss of the membership status occurs “With his voluntary removal from the party, which is manifested by word or deed and clearly results, indicative of his registration in another political party, or with public demonstrations that strongly oppose the party’s ideological and political principles or promote racism, hatred and violence or challenge the rule of law and the democratic parliamentary system of the country. Political Committee “.

The reason for the removal of Mr. Kyrtsos was a series of his posts, which follow the MEPs’ multiple differentiations from central political positions on Piraeus Street.
