Kyriakos Velopoulos invited deputies to personally declare whether they are gay or not. If so, then, according to the president of the right-wing Hellenic Solution party, there is a conflict of interest.
President of the right-wing party “Ελληνική Λύση” (Greek Solution), commenting on the statement of the parliamentarian from “Πλεύση Ελευθερίας” (Freedom of Movement) Spyros Bibila, who called on the church to “tell us how many gay priests there are,” said: “Why don’t we ask how many homosexuals are there?” In other words, to know how they will vote on the marriage bill.
Also responding to his inappropriate reference to “gay priests,” Bibilas noted: “I said this not from the rostrum of the House, but in a moment of tension,” and added: “Actors have the right to express their opinions. Greeks have the right to be irreligious and to be patriots. I am not religious, but I am a Greek, just like Mr. Velopoulos and I I will defend my country to the last drop of blood.”
The MP “Ελληνική Λύση” supported his president. Mr. Konstantinos Chytas tried to answer from the position of “Ελληνική Λύση”. Addressing PASOK, he said: “It is impudent to address Mr. Velopoulos in such an Italian manner. Be careful. You may be influenced by the stagnation in the polls.” And he remarked to Mr. Bibilas: “This is the Greek parliament. Are you telling me that it is a right to be irreligious? And what do you mean to tell us that it is a right not to be a patriot?”
