Near Outburst? Video of Diplaros in a Car Sparks Reactions - His Response and “Thanks for the Advertisement”

A video posted on social media by MP and Deputy President of DISY, Efthymios Diplaros, sparked discussion about whether he was driving and simultaneously filming a video, which would have been illegal. However, observing the video, it appears that Mr. Diplaros was a passenger, not a driver. Mr. Diplaros himself confirmed that he was a passenger and was wearing a seatbelt. The incident was commented on by a satirical page on Facebook, to which Mr. Diplaros responded clarifying that he was a passenger and thanking for the free advertisement. The post was published while Mr. Diplaros continued to be in the car after a three-day trip with family and friends. The reaction of the satirical page and Mr. Diplaros's response caused a small stir on social media, but it was eventually clarified that there was no violation of the law.
