Developments in SYRIZA: Famelos replaces Nikos Pappas as well as Kostas Zachariadis
Nikos Pappas is stepping down from his position as parliamentary spokesperson of SYRIZA, with Theofilos Xanthooulos and Kostas Barkas being appointed in his place
Provocative stance by Pappas over the assault on a journalist: “I raised my hand, but he has no mark. I said, ‘Look at me and look at him’”
“I made a gesture toward his face and that was it; a shove, a slap, call it what you want. You can see what he looks like; if he had a scratch, we all would have seen it,” said the expelled Member of the European Parliament
