Afroditi Latinopoulou, president of the Voice of Logic party and Member of the European Parliament, has formally requested the lifting of her parliamentary immunity. She delivered this request directly to the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, stressing that a lawsuit filed in Greece by political opponents motivates her decision. Confidence in an impartial judicial examination remains central to her stance, as she argues it will confirm her innocence.
The MEP underlined that sustained defamation, political targeting and legal pressure have been directed at her for months. Her announcement noted that these actions come from political rivals, media outlets serving specific interests and power circles that object to the presence of Voice of Logic in the European Parliament. She stated that her letter offers a clear and decisive answer to these pressures.
Her letter to Roberta Metsola highlights the principles she considers fundamental. It points to transparency, accountability and respect for the rule of law as the basis of her decision. The message emphasizes her duty to the citizens who elected her and her intention to ensure that justice proceeds swiftly and unhindered.
Latinopoulou stressed that she has nothing to hide, noting that her request is meant to prevent any suspicion that she would use her parliamentary immunity to evade judicial scrutiny. The appeal is presented as a matter of legal clarity, institutional integrity and democratic respect. She urged Metsola to initiate the necessary procedure immediately so that the Greek judicial authorities can address the case without delay.
