ATHENS - Greece’s leftist government triggered a parliamentary confidence vote on Monday to upstage an opposition push to censure an aide of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for comments about a quadriplegic European election candidate.
The New Democracy party had accused deputy health minister Pavlos Polakis, a 53-year old surgeon, of insulting a wheelchair-bound conservative candidate for the European Parliament election by saying he used favorable laws to get a job in the state health sector. Earlier this year, Polakis was told off by a top EU health official for defying a smoking ban while dancing in a club. He has also been at loggerheads with the country’s central bank over a personal loan.
