A former fisheries union leader, Takis Kotsorgiou, is publicly accusing Dimitris Panagiotopoulos, a member of the party’s political council, of orchestrating a smear campaign against him. Kotsorgiou alleges Panagiotopoulos possesses and is circulating defamatory letters behind the scenes. He claims these letters aim to damage his reputation without offering him a chance to defend himself against the accusations. The former union leader is requesting protection from the party leader, Elpida of Karystia, against what he describes as a deliberate attempt to discredit him. This dispute highlights internal tensions and accusations of unfair tactics within the political organization. The specific nature of the accusations within the letters remains undisclosed, but Kotsorgiou insists they are false and damaging. The case raises concerns about due process and the handling of allegations within the party.
