"Nikos Nikolopoulos was elected with Independent Greeks (ANEL)in the recent elections, and he know of the prior actions. I hope that he will not deceive the Greek people in today's vote in parliament. Otherwise, he should hand over his seat" stated ANEL leader Panos Kammenos commenting Nikolopoulos intention to not vote the draft law on Thursday night

At any other time in the parliament's history, one joining and one expulsion in a political party in the constrain of one day would be considered a major paradox. But in the fluid political landscape of our times, it is a simple, almost everyday event.
