Under conditions of severe toxicity, with an emphasis on Georggulis casethe political system is moving towards its official launch election campaign. Whether due to inaction, or by choice, it seems that the case, which has grown into supranational capital Brussels but he could have stayed there, having established himself in the center of a fierce election campaign, where, in addition to “traditional” weapons, online “armies” are being mobilized for an unconditional and boundless war of dirt, vulgarity and marginal decadence. Unprecedented insinuations and characterizations, conspiracy theories, insults, non-existent rumors and comments are massively reproduced on popular websites, and party officials give the “real” in this hybrid mud war.

The online smear campaign is based on the assumption that the complainant was mobilized for electoral expediency and that the PASOK leadership is also implicated in the scenarios reproduced. OUR Nikos Androulakis called yesterday “what is happening on the Internet is unthinkable” and accused Mr. Mitsotakis And Tsipras as responsible “for running a digital parastate of ‘hoodies’, digital gangs that target the identities of people they either see as interfering with their plans or for other reasons of their own.”

From the side of SYRIZA, in the statements and statements of the leaders, it is repeated that they are “with the victims, not with the criminals.” However, this line does not seem to run through the entire party structure, and there are loud divisions that make it difficult to defend the center line, especially as there is a double standard for those who disagree. Thus, centrally, there was no reaction from SYRIZA when two candidates from the party in the upcoming elections made even controversial posts. Candidate in East Attica Zoe Varelis-Stefanidis he quickly adopted a vulgar front page in marginal form, only to retract the post with an apology after the backlash it caused. The candidate for the II elections in Thessaloniki, Anastasia Gaitartsi, spoke about the “fake” in her post. Komunduru only reacted to the vulgar post of a member of the prefectural committee of Larisa SYRIZA Vasily Migawhich he removed.

Of course, Kumunduru’s selective backlash did not go unnoticed: PASOK, in a statement, questioned whether SYRIZA had “both casualties and a leak.”

“Differences” from individual SYRIZA officials that make it difficult to defend Kumundur’s central line that “we are with the victims.”

At the same time, information states that at the end of 2019, an intern in Mr. Georgoulis’s office quit following the abuse incident, as well as the director of the office who recommended her, and that Dimitris Papadimoulis’s investigation related to that case.

Georgoulis stands for

Former SYRIZA MEP Alexis Georgoulis once again dismissed a complaint filed against him for “serious criminal offences” yesterday through his Belgian lawyers, tying the discovery of the case to upcoming Greek elections.

His two lawyers in Belgium, as well as his Greek lawyer, ultimately did not have access to the case file because, as stated in their respective statement, “Belgian law enforces the confidentiality of the investigation and does not allow the content of the preliminary investigation to be made public.” According to the information, his lawyers will have access to the case after the MEP is removed from immunity.
