"A day of vindication for PASOK-KINAL" is how the party’s parliamentary spokesperson, Dimitris Mantzos, described the decision of the electoral court to revoke the parliamentary status of three MPs from Spartiates parliamentary group, including the party's president, Vasilis Stigas.
Mantzos stated that "the truth has been officially and emphatically confirmed by the court - a truth that PASOK persistently repeated both in this chamber and to society - that the hidden, real leader of Spartiates was from the very beginning the convicted member of Golden Dawn (Chryssi Avghi) for leading a criminal organisation (i.e., Ilias Kasidiaris).
