Sources: 10. Developments: 2. The Greek Parliament has experienced internal friction involving PASOK MP Paris Koukoulopoulos. Initially, Koukoulopoulos, acting as the presiding officer for a session, was involved in a heated confrontation with Zoi Konstantopoulou of Plefsi Eleftherias during the election of a Fifth Vice-President. Konstantopoulou alleged “underground cooperation” between PASOK and the governing New Democracy party and accused the chair of attempting to block a female candidate. Following these events, Koukoulopoulos, now serving as Vice President of the Parliament, has shifted focus to legislative inquiries regarding energy security. He submitted an urgent question to the Ministry of Environment and Energy concerning district heating in Kozani and Ptolemaida. Koukoulopoulos criticized the government for rejecting an amendment to use Greek lignite to provide stable, affordable heating, warning that current policies may cause insecurity and increased costs for local residents. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: Paris Koukoulopoulos challenges government over district heating PASOK MP Paris Koukoulopoulos has challenged the Greek government in Parliament over district heating concerns in Kozani and Ptolemaida following the rejection of a lignite-based energy security amendment. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paris-koukoulopoulos-challenges-greek-government-over-district-heating ### 2026-09-02: Greek Parliament: Heated clash between Konstantopoulou and Koukoulopoulos Zoi Konstantopoulou and PASOK's Paris Koukoulopoulos engaged in a sharp verbal altercation in the Greek Parliament during proceedings to elect a new Vice-President. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greek-parliament-heated-clash-between-konstantopoulou-and-koukoulopoulos --- Cite as: Greek parliamentary disputes and energy policy inquiries.
