Justice Seeks Lifting Immunity for Kammenos

Judicial authorities in Thessaloniki have asked Parliament to lift the immunity of Panos Kammenos, head of the Independent Greeks party so that he can face trial for incitement to violence.

The authorities yesterday forwarded a case file to Parliament regarding an incident last month at the Thessaloniki International Fair when Panos Kammenos was captured on video suggesting that residents of nearby Halkidiki should "lynch" a local mayor for backing gold mining in Skouries.

"[Aristotelis] Pahtas should not be able to walk freely. You should lynch him," Kammenos told Halkidiki residents protesting the gold mine.
