Konstantopoulos

In an incident during Monday's parliamentary investigation into the Tempe rail crash, Zoi Konstantopoulou, leader of the Course of Freedom party, sought to put pressure on the commitee despite being excluded from speaking due to a conflict of interest.

The Tempe train collision in February 2023 resulted in the loss of 57 lives and left numerous others injured. 

The first meeting of the parliamentary committee of inquiry on the fatal railway collision in Tempe, central Greece in February was marked by acrimony on Tuesday after New Democracy MP Thanos Plevris requested the opinion of the Scientific Service of the House on the legality of Course of Freedom leader Zoi Konstantopoulou's participation, as she is a lawyer for the families of the victims. 

The Greek government is working systematically toward the reunification of Parthenon Sculptures, Culture Minister Lina Mendoni said on Monday in response to a question in Parliament by Zoi Konstantopoulou, leader of the Course of Freedom party. 

In a tense atmosphere marked by political and occasionally personal altercations, Greek lawmakers unanimously decided on Tuesday to accept the request of the prosecuting authority and lift the parliamentary immunity of Rena Dourou.

Course for Freedom's Zoi Konstantopoulou, a former parliamentary speaker, called on Greeks to seize the opportunity and elect her party to the next sitting of parliament.

Zoi Konstantopoulou, leader of the "Freedom Sailing" party says her goal is to double her party's score in the June 25 election and enter Parliament.

Freedom Sailing won 2.89% of the votes on May 21, enough for 7th place overall, but below the 3% threshold required for parliamentary representation. It had got 1.47% in July 2019.

The former German ambassador to Greece Peter Schoof expressed his condolences in a tweet over the death this week of Greek World War II resistance hero Manolis Glezos.

The Greek Council of State has temporarily blocked the extradition of Bitcoin wizard and Russian national Alexander Vinnik.

France, Russia, and the United States were vying to have  Vinnik handed over to them.

Vinnik wants to be handed over to Russia and the Russian Embassy in Athens made extensive efforts to achieve its goal.

Greek lawmakers on Thursday approved with an overwhelming majority the appointment of Kostas Tasoulas as new Parliament president, in their first vote since the House convened after the July general elections.

The lawyer for a Russian suspected of bitcoin fraud and wanted by three countries say the man's health is deteriorating due to his hunger strike.

Lawyer Zoe Konstantopoulou also criticized the Greek courts for holding Alexander Vinnik, 39, in custody for more than the maximum 18 months allowed.
