Nikos Papadopoulos, a member of parliament for NIKI, who earlier vandalized exhibits at the National Gallery was released shortly after 5 p.m.

The MP remained at the Gallery to determine whether his actions constituted a felony or a misdemeanor. If it had been classified as a felony, he would have been arrested under the auto-custody procedure. However, since it was deemed a misdemeanor, he was released, and a case file will be prepared and forwarded to parliament to initiate the process of lifting his immunity, allowing him to be held accountable before the justice system.
