Serres MP Tasos Hatzivassiliou requested that his parliamentary immunity be lifted “unconditionally,” emphasizing among other things that “we don’t need more character assassinations.” He subsequently stressed that “I am being investigated for an act that never took place. I did not attempt, plan, or execute any illegal act.”

He also argued that “I defend the inalienable right not to be judged by rumors and unfounded suspicions, not to be handed over to the storm of petty political opportunism,” emphasizing that “in a liberal democracy there is no concept of collective responsibility.” “Representation means that we are present in the citizen’s daily life,” the conservative MP concluded.
