According to what has become known so far, around 19:30 yesterday, while Petros Konstantineas was 150 meters away from the stadium, on his motorbike, he initially received a verbal attack by organized supporters of the local team of Kalamata, belonging to the organized supporters club called the Bulldogs of the "Black Storm" that shouted to him that he sold out Macedonia and characterized him as a traitor. Within a few minutes, 14 to 20 people arrived, who threw down the MP and began to beat him.
"It is an extreme fascist episode on of the issue with Macedonia, they attacked me by telling me that ... I sold out Macedonia. I am lucky to be alive. Fascism from wherever it comes will not pass," the MP said.
