SYRIZA MEP resigns from party following sexual harassment allegations

A Member of the European Parliament for SYRIZA has resigned from the main opposition party after parliamentary authorities received a request to lift his immunity as an MEP as part of an investigation into alleged sexual harassment dating back to three years ago.

Alexis Georgoulis denies the allegation.

Main leftist opposition SYRIZA has once again failed to meet expectations by abstaining from a crucial vote in Parliament. The vote aimed to prevent the far-right political party founded by jailed MP Ilias Kasidiaris from participating in the country's upcoming elections. Only New Democracy and PASOK supported the amendment in question.
