The convicted terrorist of the group November 17 requested the suspension of his sentence due to health problems.
It should be reminded that Xiros was severely injured during the 2002 botched bombing attempt that eventually led to the group’s unraveling.
On its part, New Democracy stated that it was "unacceptable for two SYRIZA MPs to appear at the side of a terrorist,’ while PASOK characterized the move as a "major" political fail.
The SYRIZA MPs, on the other, stated that they had acted according to their consciences and according to ‘that which is demanded by the principles of a state of laws,’. (Good one...!!)
The Piraeus court, where the November 17 member was transferred under police guard, is expected to announce its final decision on Xiros' request by June 26th.
(Editor's note: What a Banania-Land! These men executed innocent people and now want special treatment? And Syriza supports this? Syriza is a hazard for our national security! But then again nothing shocks us about this party anymore, since it should be reminded that Kourakis is the same politician that also wants to tax Greek Orthodox Christians a tax for practising their religion.)
