Marinos Sizopoulos, according to his statements, asked to clarify the issue before the convening of the committee. We remind you that the tension was caused last Thursday, during the plenary session of the Parliament, chaired by Zacharias Koulias, during which the Presidencies and the distributions of the Deputies of the 16 regular Parliamentary and an ad hoc Committees composed for the Demographic as well as the members of the new Special Parliamentary Ethics Committee of the members of Parliament were appointed.
