Greek Lawmaker Charged After Parliament Brawl

A Greek lawmaker faces felony charges following a physical altercation with a colleague during a parliamentary debate.

Independent MP Konstantinos Floros was detained after assaulting MP Vassilis Grammenos, resulting in hospital treatment for Grammenos.
The altercation occurred during a session on lifting immunity for defamation cases, escalating after heated exchanges.
Floros faces up to ten years in prison if convicted under charges of assaulting a member of parliament during their duties.
The incident has prompted discussions on parliamentary immunity and the potential for fast-track criminal proceedings.
In a related legal development, Greece’s Supreme Court excluded the Spartiates party from upcoming EU elections due to alleged extremist links.
