Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis filed a defamation lawsuit against Zoe Konstantopoulou, President of Plefsi Eleftherias, regarding her statements about the Viollanta case. Mr. Georgiadis described these statements as “extremely defamatory” and stated that he would not allow Ms. Konstantopoulou to criminalize the life of the country. He noted that he would not file a lawsuit for what was said in Parliament, as it remains within its walls, but would resist Ms. Konstantopoulou's attempt to link his name to the Tempi tragedy. The minister emphasized that the lawsuit concerns only defamation and not political disputes.
