We here at hellasfrappe have often said that there are some politicians in Greece that are not even capable of serving perfume samples at department stores, but there are also a few that are totally committed to the good of the people they represent. And every time they do something impressive they usually get our applause. One such person is former actor Apostolos Gletzos who today is acting Mayor of Stylida (a town in Fthiotida located in Central Greece). Some may remember him from ANT1's "Psythiri Kardias" series (as well as a long line of other sitcoms and/ or movies). What some may not know however, is that Gletzos is also very politically active and has been a strong supporter of the Greek Communist Party (KKE). According to Lamia Report, Gletzos beat up a local building contractor today because the builder wanted to teach him the art of "kickbacks".
If we stumbled on this story two years ago... we would of not believed it. But when we have already seen Gletzos climb onto a tractor in order to break down illegal toll booths in his town, or get into the ring to punch out central development committees that go against his town's interests (and trust us he really let them have it - metaphorically speaking of course), or remove key political figures from platforms to allow the elderly to sit (as he did last October 28th) and even dive for the cross when we all know that he has a serious heart problem... we not only believe it... WE APPLAUD IT.
Bravo Palikari mou
